Hi. I'd just want to share my experience din, kahit young pa ako, I'm currenlty 22, and in a relationship right now. I used to experience yung sinasabi mong panic and worry b/c of being NBSB. I felt that way b/c of peer pressure siguro. I was in an all girls' school nung hs, and although madami na din ang may boyfriend samin, there were a lot din na wala, so okay lang. Then came college, at parang napansin kong everyone(not literally pero most people) ay meron ka relationship na. Either that, or yung mga batchmates ko nung high school nagkakaron na rin ng bf. My best and closest friends were also NBSB, so I can totally relate din when you say na lumalabas ka nga, pero with single friends lang din naman. I am also very quiet, and kinda introvert. I am somewhat selectively social, and am not very comfortable mingling with others, especially pag masyadong madami (like sa parties). Noon, ang paniniwala ko, and I still do think now, na isa yun sa malaking factor kung bakit dati hindi ako magkaroon ng bf. Masyadong limited yung circle ko, I hangout with the same people, and medyo ilang ako makipagkilala sa iba. I became very insecure sa ugali ko, and I thought na wala talagang magkakagusto sakin dahil nga parang tahimik ako, which I think guys will find boring. Pero ako, mahilig ako magpaganda, and fashionable naman ata ako. In terms of looks, I think wala naman problema sakin, but sa ugali talaga.. dun nagkakatalo, I think. May mga guys na nagpaparamdam, BUT NEVER NANLILIGAW. Until, nung college, tnry ko sumama sa mga classmates ko na not my usual group(sa mga outings, class parties, kahit na hindi ako masyado comfortable, I tried doing it) then, I had a classmate na nagshow ng interest sakin, and akala ko like before hanggang ganun lang din, but tinuloy nya and pursued me, until ngayon we're nearing our 4th year anniversary na
What I was really touched about my bf was, sabi nya nagustuhan nya ako kasi good girl type ako (quiet, bit shy, but nice daw). I'm so happy that he liked me for who I am, hindi ko na kinailangan palitan ang sarili ko, kahit na naiinsecure na ako sa ugali kong ganyan.
Just want to say, na yes, you should expand your circle, sama ka sa mga tao na hindi mo usually sinasamahan, be friendly and approachable to guys( this is possible kahit ang ugali mo quiet type) make an effort on your appearance(kasi ito talaga ang unang napapansin) but lastly, don't change yourself, I mean, make an effort pero wag mo naman baguhin totally ang sarili mo, kasi mas maganda if makahanap ka ng taong who will accept you for who you are
