I'm actually kind of in the same situation as you. I have this friend that I just met not so long ago, and we grew so fast as friends. She constantly wants to hang out with me, and always asks me what I'm doing, and with who I am with. It gets pretty annoying, and whenever I say something about it, she gets really offended. So I try not to mention it anymore. But what I would do in your situation is just tell your cousin you want some space. Be honest with her. Tell her you love her to death, but you want some time to yourself, or the next time she calls and asks to hang out be like ohh I'm kind of tired, maybe another day. You could also say you're not feeling well. Start making some plans with some of your other friends. Invite them to go see a movie with you or just hang out at the mall. If your cousin calls tell her you have plans. Trust me she'll understand.If anything just invite your cousin to come along with you guys. In order to make more friends you have to have confidence. Smile a lot. Show people that you're friendly and a nice person. People are more attracted to people that are friendly, you don't have to be outgoing, just a sweet person. It's okay to be shy, just make sure to keep smiling. Remember a smile goes a long way.
