Is that hard for people to admit they like someone

Knowing the ml, it might also be like a pride problem, he's like oh I don't want to be the first one to admit my feelings since dobin and him are always competing lolol
Personally, even just looking at someone I feel attracted to is hard like genuinely if I like you, I pretend you don't exist sooo yeah I'm people

True that can be it. Sometimes pride is everything.
For me, if I really like someone, I would go and ask that person to go out with me. Or exchange number and ig. I like being direct with my feelings. Even if someone rejects me I would not feel embarrassed or sad at all bc at least I tried. So my advice is if you really like that person you should try and talk to them bc you never know maybe they feel the same way!
I hope he has enough feathers to not end up bald
