have a crush but I'm a coward yikes

TLDR; I like a guy but I think I'm annoying should I suck it up and tell him I like him uhhhh

so basically I've had a crush on this guy since freshman year? Its been on and off since sophomore year and this year we don't have any classes together but I mustered up the courage to tell him I want to talk to him again.

freshman year he would always text me first and keep convos long, while this year I'm the one who texts first and sophomore year we just didn't talk except once. I say hi to him everyday in the hallway but that's just cause I say hi to everyone in the hallway, I'm usually talking with friends when I pass by.

I think he liked me freshman year but I always assumed I'm annoying? I'm an extrovert and love performing, spotlights, speaking, etc. He's an introvert and people tell me he's super anti-social, which I already knew but we talked freshman year often.

Should I just suck it up and tell him I'm interested in him? We barely see each other and I text him every so often, so it's not like if he rejects me I'll be awkward about it. I had a huge glow up between sophomore year and now so I'm not worried about appearance, but I'm worried I'm annoying. I've went my entire life being told by my family and my first ever crush that I was annoying and so I always feel like I'm treading on thin ice around everyone. I dunno.
