shirk in islam accountability

hi does anyone have any advice , every time i do something for Allah SWT for example , dua , surah recitation , dhikr or any act of worship for Allah. these people keep popping up in my head and it feels like i’m directing my worship towards them and not Allah. these people are so random and have no role in my life whatsoever but i know they’re not God they’re just Allah’s creation. it feels like im committing shirk but i don’t know. and i was just testing myself and i told myself you have to make an intention towards the person and i accidentally made intention towards that person and went “ ya “ while thinking of him. does this count as shirk but i was just testing myself. will Allah forgive me ? does this count as shirk ? or PLEASE I NEED HELP.
