shy

people always tell me that im pretty. the thing is though, i dont really believe them!

im really shy so most guys go for my friends who are much more confident than me (and no offence, but not as pretty as me)

so i never get any guy attention because they seem to frightened to try it on with me......

what should i do?

People are always harsher judges on themselves. Confidence can be learned but not without knocks. It's a frame of mind, so just focus on the good things - like you've pointed out, you know you're 'pretty'.

People are attracted to happy, confident individuals. Those that are shy will always fade into the background; no matter how good looking they are.
