I'm very unsocial
Well this will be quite long... One month ago, I realized that I'm very unsocial. I don't go out, I haven't had a girlfriend (I am 18) and I think that I'm unnecessary. The truth this, that at school I'm quite popular, nobody has a problem with me, I pass with best grades, and everybody thinks that I'm funny guy. Girls are telling me, that I'm very good-looking guy, and that I should hang out to partys and clubs.
When I was 11, I have been diagnosed with epilepsy. Actually I havent had some serius seizure, I just frooze and i didn't know where I am for couple of seconds. I'm taking anti-epileptic pills, so I haven't had seizure for almost 7 years. Now the downside... because of those pills, I can't drink alcohol. And you know, when you're on highschool everything is about alcohol,weed and such things. Now, I'm afraid to accept invitations to partys or other events, where could be alcohol. But I think, that even if I could drink, I wouldn't do that. When I look, at my friends facebook profiles, I see lot of "drunk pictures" - When I see this, I feel fear or something... dunno.
When I imagine, that I would be at the party, it seems weird to me. Like... it's not me... this is not the way how I should have fun.
Maybe, what I need is courage. My voice starts to jiggle when I have to talk with stranger, but I've got no problem to talk in front of full class, to give an presentation.
Last year, I fell in love with my classmate. She's hottest and cutest girl on school, also very intelligent. When I started to talk with her more, I have realised, that she's very close to me. We've got same interests, same opinions, we know how to make each others laugh. When we were on school trip, we were holding each others hands, hugging, and cuddling in bus (you know :D) That time, she didn't know that I love her. I told her that just month ago. But she told me, that she likes me very, very much... but as a friend. But my feelings are deeper, I truly love her. We had really deep friend relantioship, and I though that It could grow up in something more. It's really hard to get over It, because she is unbelievably beautiful, very intelligent, modest and best of all... she is not a party b**ch, and she's not drinking too. I think, that we could have a beautiful partner relantioship.
When I think about it, she could change my life, she could make me more confident. I spent these summer holidays in my room, in front of PC, watching youtube, and declining every single invitation to some event.
To sum it up:
I'm fearful, not confident, not outgoing, I'm afraid to talk with strangers, I'm afraid to go out at night, I'm afraid to drink and I'm in love, that could never happen.
So is it normal, to be such a coward?

Go to parties and don't drink. It's cool if you're cool with it. If someone asks why you aren't drinking, confidently tell them it's because you don't like to. They won't care. Instead, smile and make others smile and laugh. Have fun helping others have fun and you'll be the life of the party, no alcohol needed.
As for the girl, there is no escaping the friend-zone once you're there. The lesson here is to interact with girls you're attracted to as if there is no possibility of being just friends. Be clear about what your intentions are and always be prepared to walk away.
I'll assume you mean mainland Europe. Anyhoo this could've been two separate posts really. The thing with the pills and no alcohol sounds like a bit of a bitch, I assume there's no way round that, like not taking them if you know you're going to drink?
As for the girl, I'd suggest you stick in there and keep plugging away. If it's meant to be, it's meant to be, if not...
