How to be myself around guys..?

Ok, so this may sound a little weird but here it goes...

So ever since I was little, I never really had a dad. The only adult guys i ever saw were my mom's boyfriend's, and that'ss about it. Just a little background.

Fast forward to my teenage years and i feel like a total mess. I feel like i can't just be friends with any guy. I'm always super self conscious around guys, and i'm 16! I mean, I hang out with guys when my friends are there, but by myself I feel like a nervous wreck. I kind of feel like like i'm constantly flirting with all the guyss, even though i'm not even that good of a flirt!

I know that is probably very confusing for any of you to understand but my main question is how can i become friends with a guy? How can i be myself around them?

    I feel the same way but when I feel like im not being myself I just pretend I'm with my family or best friends and it usually calms me down and lets me be myself. So, be yourself and if they don't like that then ditch em!

    seriously just talk with them. have fun, hang out. dont do anything with them you wouldnt do with your girlfriends. thats all. you can do some other things but dont treat them any differently. flirting will happen even if you dont want it too. it always does one way or another.
