Both shows are slice-of-life comedies involving a girl with very high social anxiety as the MC. The big difference is that Watamote is much darker as the MC tries so hard to be popular, while Hitoribocchi the MC is only trying to make friends and is looking for ways to avoid social interaction.

If you liked Glasslip add

...then you might like Irozuku Sekai no Ashita kara add

Both are coming of age stories done by P.A. Works utilizing the studio's signature artwork. However, Iroduku does a much better job at storytelling as it is what Glasslip should have been like, but ended up being a disaster due largely to a plot that was all over the place, a mistake that Iroduku avoids. So those who managed to get through Glasslip should watch Iroduku, but not the other way around.

If you liked Touken Ranbu: Hanamaru add

...then you might like Senjuushi add

Both shows are about weapons portrayed as pretty boys, with the main difference being that for Touken Ranbu they are swords and in Thousand Musketeers they are guns. Thousand Musketeers takes more of the approach with Hanamaru focusing more on the slice-of-life aspect than the more action-driven Katsugeki series.

If you liked 3-gatsu no Lion add

...then you might like Ryuuou no Oshigoto! add

Both shows are about aspiring professional shogi players. However, the approaches to the show are much different as in March, the MC is trying to make it into the world of shogi after numerous setbacks in life, and in Ryuo the MC is already a champion in shogi and is teaching girls to become pros. Both have cute girls in it, though it is far more pronounced in Ryuo as they are the center of attention, while in March the girls are just emotional support for the MC. If you like Ryuo, then I highly recommend March, though the other way around I'm hesitant to recommend it.
