>>17734650I know how you feel. I'm also very shy and I tend to take months of knowing someone before I actually start being open with them and start acting like my true self, which is a problem with people who think I am not interested and simply stop caring about friendship, so with that in mind, I don't need to say what my progress in a true relationship is like.
Having said that, I still have confidence in myself. I can tell I've been getting better with my shyness over the years, and at some point I'll be open enough to be able to develop an actual relationship with ease.
It's just small steps if you are having problems.
