Missed chance with high school crush due to insecurities and social anxiety

I had intense crush but couldn't open up, he lost interest and moved on

What I wish I knew
"Addressing insecurities and social anxiety earlier could've changed outcome"
If I could tell you one thing
"Be honest and open about feelings, even if it's scary"
