Hello I read your message while I was reading Tara the replacement wife again, I was also an introvert in school with no friends, as you will grow you will get friends in unexpected manner you won't even realize, there is no timeline, for the first 15 years of my life I lived a miserable life no friends, not enjoying life, always studying still bad grades. Over the time I realize I need to accept myself and what choices I make. I love your stories, the characters are flawed thats what I like about your stories, their is nothing wrong with the way you write, if you are writing something, it doesn't matter you get one vote or two it should make you happy at the end
