Is it normal to be shy around someone you like?

Yep.Totally normal

Yes—feeling shy around someone you like is very normal. When you care what they think, even a simple conversation can suddenly feel like a big deal.

A crush can make you more self-conscious: you might overthink what to say, get awkward, or go quieter than usual. That’s a pretty common reaction, and it doesn’t mean anything is wrong with you—or that you’re bad at dating.
