I'm not sure I'm the best person to say how to get into a relationship but I wanted to say it's totally normal to feel a bit lost and awkward speaking to people in real life, a lot of us feel like that so please don't think that makes you awkward as a person. I'm wondering if there's anything you get up to outside of school or any hobbies you do where you chat and meet people?

Hey @joshy123 welcome to TheMix. Your definitely not alone in feeling like you struggle talking to other people. I also feel the same too with people too irl. What I find helpful is just being yourself as being your authentic self sometimes brings people to you. Im always here if you need anything .
Sending hugs,

These are among the many things which the large majority of feminists won't talk about, let alone vocally disagree with or try to change, despite insisting they want gender equality across the board. Others include FGM, child marriage, forced marriage, the 7 Oct invasion & men having much shorter lives than women.
There is no simple answer, but as @EmmaLiz mentioned, hobbies outside school can help, and there is some great content on our website, where you can get some helpful information.
I find that in terms of interacting with other people, believing in yourself gives a boost of confidence, which always helps, and positive thinking sometimes can do wonders too.
Sending you hugs and positive energy.
