Smile is a very positive social behavior. It should be read and understood well. All people smiling at one another are not falling in love with each other. You are perceiving a special meaning into the gesture as you are undergoing biological and emotional development phase.Handle this phase with grace and responsibility.
Being rich doesnot guarantee good friendship, so do not hesitate in expanding yourself on social behavior.

Actually I am very unconfident person, I loose my confidence and
forget my abilities. I don't do what I want to do and there is no guideline for me or any moral support, everyone in school tease me calling 'aunty'.

Sometimes we unknowingly choose behaviors which do not match with our age. You too seem to be entangled in the same web. Throw away this mind set.Begin afresh. Confidence comes by choosing correct set of behaviors.
