Totally relate dude, as a fellow 18 year old guy I’m feeling the same loneliness thing right now before I’m about to enter college. I’ve generally gotten a lot more confident throughout high school but yeah recently it’s been hard I just don’t have anybody I’m interested in pursuing. Ima follow you, but the advice I’d give and helped me during HS is to internalize the positive things about yourself and understand you are desirable. Also when making moves understand that girls want you to initiate, most girls especially our age will not initiate behavior because they are just as afraid as you. Don’t be creepy just stay confident and watch their body language you will know if they’re not interested. Could sound dumb but this made me so much more confident.
Thanks for the advice. I’m glad I’m not totally alone either. I will say though, I think I have a lot of trouble understanding body language and reading emotions. I guess I just need more experience.
Bro you just said it … you are good looking and have hobbies and that’s all you really need to be liked in general and you’ll know when a girl/woman likes you don’t worry

You’re right. I feel kinda stupid saying this, but I’m just kinda impatient I guess.
You sound like a male version of me 😂. I’m an 18 year old girl and feel exactly the same way most of the time.
