spikes C:Thank God you're "inbetween" if not...........! I can't be Jealous when I know majority of them "extreme introverts" solicit for my help in adaptation whenever they can't blend into an open setting that require some sort of outgoing nature to scale through and fit in. I know the real Intro-introverts want to get out of their shells and savour the sweet experience of being an ambivert. **smiles** |

Truth is; it is not easy being an introvert cos people mistake it for arrogance, pride & a snub. You would sometimes wish you were an extrovert. |

ItsModella: are there actually any ambiverts/extroverts on this thread like me? since everyone is trying to claim introversion. You are not an extrovert in anyway, you live your whole life on Nairaland, extroverts don't live on the internet. 1 Like |

Anthiga: The points are very valid as regards myself... Peeps go about annoying you and most of the time you just want to let it pass and the day you decide to let them have it, they be like 'all this quiet people are very wicked or that you are into drugs' SO TRUE LOL! I hate when people say quiet people are dangerous. It's like no..we are just people. We do have tempers too. ours just "marinate within" until we blow up and when we blow up... WE BLOW UP! Ohibenemma: [size=18pt]One truth about introverts, however, is that they don't forgive easily.[/size] This, I think, is due to their overt faithfulness, which when betrayed can be seriously injured. I'm seriously working and re-working on myself daily...cos I won't wanna miss the mark because of a DEEP MIND. Sooo true! This is currently my BIGGEST PROBLEM. I just can' forgive. I mean I will let certain things slide but once someone cut me deeply and betray my trust..they will become dead to me. I won't think about them, talk to them, acknowledge them. (UNLESS I get a sincere apology and even then I will keep you at bay - but they better not fork up the second time oo!). I'll have no problem doing it for years. Nothing you could say or do will change it because I can't fake it and it will never be the same. I wish I could change lol and trust me I've tried but...no luck. lol sorry for preaching...it's just real coming from a REAL introvert. OH YEAH!! #TeamSagittarius dun kno!!! |

collynzo2:are you just dumb or what? that I am usually on nairaland does not mean I don't have a world with people offline. And you must really be living in a cave to not know that with the level of technological advance there is today, one can be on the internet and do other things at the same time. |

thelonestranger:Lol Seriously, I will prefer to be a Vegetarian at least I know food is involved , But someone telling me the time I was born has any effect on my personality is "regrettably lugubrious". They said I'm ARIES By the way ..lol |
Re: 10 Myths About Introverts by Nobody: 12:57pm On May 18, 2013 |
duro: This is just me being described by the OP. It just that people misunderstand our temperaments and think that we are proud and are snubs. i am having that challenge in the office rite now. I can tell u authoritatively that introverts are the best set of persons to relate with in terms of friendship because they choose their friends carefully and will always be loyal. Tumbs up for all introverts. Pls extroverts don't try to change oo. U equally have a role to spice up our lives once in a while @bolded and that is always taken for granted. i too have been labeled as "stuck up" by people who barely know me. i don't let it get to me because as far as i am concerned they are just a bunch of airheads who think everybody is and should be their friends lol. LastApostle: that's true but I like the way i am because I know who my friends are and i am perfectly fine not being around everyone, ALL THE TIME. I am good by my lonesome and I am good being around the FEW people I know who genuinely check for me. It's not that we don't want to have fun, we just know going to clubs and being all up in everyone's faces is not the meaning of life. We prefer to take it easy with people we vibe with and have fun our way. If that makes "us" weird then so be it. @topic there are a lot of responses on here i would love to reply to. but if i do, i'd be on this thread preaching all day. i am just happy to witness more "deep thinking and proud" people on here I can relate to. |

ItsModella: Hahaha you didn't take that long to reply, did you? Real extroverts are out there catching fun right now, when you are catching real fun you wont have the time for Nairaland, twitter etc technology or no technology. The frequency of your posts says it all. |
Re: 10 Myths About Introverts by deols(f): 1:08pm On May 18, 2013 |
Many introverts may have found succor on NL, reason many are claiming introverts. Like some missing actions or a void being filled by an online personality. Some other people may have found the characteristics of the introverts appealing therefore, deciding to be that and declaring it on here. So many others would get confused by the op, not sure of where they belong. While these may be ten myths bout introverts.it doesn't make all exclusive to them nor all inclusive with every introvert. |

Wow...this is just me, i'm a libra and an introvert. I just feel comfortable being alone sometimes,reflecting and thinking deep but some people don't understand and they won't just let me be..... and i can't just go out and remain in the same spot for an hour all in the name of having fun i'd rather spend half of the time there then go somewhere else for the other half.... You can never catch me talking when i have nothing or i'm not sure of what to say. I talk when there's a topic that interests me...instead of engaging in mono-syllabic conversation, i keep quiet or i just laugh or smile@everything you say! And yes some people think i'm shy! therefore they think there's a limit to what i can do and the places i can go...these people, i just laugh and shake my head for them in my mind! Hmmm...you just can't imagine how much i hate noise....i extremely hate it in all its form, it drives me crazy.....God i hate noise with so much passion! 1 Like |

collynzo2:Your definition of introversion and extroversion is really messed up. Do you really think all extroverts are cut out for having real fun? Sue whoever told you that because you've been deceived. You sir, do not even know who an extrovert is. My last word to you. I can't keep going on with someone who doesn't even understand the basic traits of an introvert and an extrovert. |
