Why cant I be myself around boys? Im not awkward with my dad or my sisters boyfriend im totally me around them but when im with boys my age (im 14 Btw) I feel like I have to be in a certain way, like I have to be calm and quiet. Theres this guy who always starts a conversation with me and I would reply with no problem but I cant think of anything else to talk to him about after though? In general I feel anxious, I know their human and I should try to see them as someone Im comfortable with but I cant and I've tried. Please help me or give me techniques to try to be myself around them. Thanks would mean a lot!
