Please Help A Nairalander With Personality Issues by Nmeri17: 8:24am On Aug 19, 2013 |
Well, the subject of this post should actually be "help a nairalander with serious personality issues" but im sure that'll probably scare away those that would have ended up helping me. Well let me start by saying i grew under the supervision of my sister who made my life miserable.People close to her will affirm that she's a tough person so we never got along(even till now). Well the reins of my supervision were soon passed to my (rather long suffering) brother since my sister got married.We did have a nice time under his 'rule' till the final stages of our stay together.He eventually ended up painting a very distorted image of me to those i valued most before leaving to pursue his life ambitions. My mom now,i can make her very happy; or so i think but next minute she's talking to someone and telling them what an irresponsible boy i am. I happen to have good looks and crack a lot of jokes so i often have someone crushing on me from time to time but eventually they dont have any intentions of staying with me. Now here's what im trying to bring out.I believe there's something about me,something really serious and not physical which is responsible for this.I asked this girl who's come the closest to me.She just said i have no problem but then the results im getting are quite inversed.I dont have much friends in real life but online im the talk of the town.Im really worried cos im soon going to get admission and i wont want to be distant from my roommates and classmates alike |

Ur problem is originating from ur early childhood experiences.U were deprived of emotional support n its obvious u grew up in an environment where love,peace n self-confidence are not nurtured.All these contributed in building d personality u hv now.It manifests itself in d way u relate with people around u.Probably,ur attitude 2wards those dt crush on u make them 2 leave.U can overcome or curb this problem by trying 2 be more emotional(loving) 2wards people dt come ur way.If u hv been harsh on them or u care less,try 2 be gentle,polite n careing n u will see them stay.Also,try 2 hv confidence in urself,bliv in urself n dt u are gud enough 4 any woman dt come ur way cos women prefer emotional n confident males 2 rigid ones.Its well!!! 1 Like |

Dont mind them. There is absolutely nothing wrong with you. You dont have to get along with everyone. Even family members. That should not kill your self esteem or question your sanity. Keep being who you are. You are a teenager and are discovering who you are, that is all. You are bound to clash with people and your mum is bound to side with the majority of your siblings to make conclusions. Believe in yourself and your abilities and dont let anyone kill your personality, because of what they believe you should be. That same jovial and likable personality will take you far in life. With your personality you are likely to enjoy life more than those who take life so seriously. Just fear God in all you do, and respect the home you come from while in school. Goodluck with school. 2 Likes |

Re: Please Help A Nairalander With Personality Issues by Kanwulia: 8:54am On Aug 20, 2013 |
BIPOLARITY comes in different forms. The only problem is to be aware! Sometimes you feel like a NUT. . .sometimes you don't! No one's mood can be CONSTANT. Emotions change. . .so do reactions. People approach things and react differently depending on their coping mechanisms. THE ONLY THING YOU CANNOT CONTROL IS GENETICS. If BIPOLARITY IS IN YOUR GENE POOL. . . tough! |
Re: Please Help A Nairalander With Personality Issues by Vivly(f): 9:12am On Aug 20, 2013 |

Vivly: The boy doesn't have any problem relating with people ( except his own family)...What I see here is : he is second guessing his own personality because of his family's feedback and complaints about his behaviour ...... He's just a boy teenager with raging hormones so what do you expect?? .. Of course he's kinda depressed because he's surrounded by negativity for years ...By the time he moves out of that hellhole to hostel with positive attitude, he will be free & changed guy. Comparing him with Amanda Baines is outrageous... I don't even wanna go there this morning. And pls don't call my post theory . |

spongeback: So what exactly is your problemmy problem is i want someone to suggest to me what is it that might be the reason why people may not want to be with me over the course of time.If its my attitude,someone sometime should have told me i have a certain behavior that they dont like so i doubt its that |

Girls and boys your age want to explore and date as many people as possible. Most of the people you meet or like at this time will end up breaking your heart or moving on once they see something that looks shiny, bright, swagger and more interesting. Focus on your books, the time for serious relationship will come. You too enjoy your youth and date as many girls as possible but dont ever forget to use protection. Jeez, you are in Uni for God's sake. What are you looking for long term relationship for Dont you want to be a free agent |

jidegirl12: ^^ Ask him oh Abeg... All the negative remarks he grew up with is not helping him either... He's all messed up now he thinks he actually has a disability. They have probably blamed his inability to keep a relationship on his unserious personality. What is a teenager doing getting worried about serious relationships? A boy for that matter. OP, let me assume you are 18 at the most. Please, which girl will want to stay with you for 7-12years waiting on a ring, or just doing girlfriend. When you get to 25 or 27 you can start thinking about taking anyone serious. Till then, just jaiye ori e. This time will fly by fast. Focus on school, get good results, get a job before you find a serious girlfriend so you dont get involved in something that will cause heartbreak and possibly set back for the rest of your life. While the girl will move on to someone who is richer. Most of your mates will marry guys older than you anyway. 2 Likes |

Mercy-u:if i dont pay attention to them its not that i dont know i should.Its just that we tend to run after those that do not want us.Those girls do have boyfriends who say im a fool for not appreciating what i have but i guess thats just how life is.Im at the verge of dating someone now.I dont really like her but i'll just date her anyway |

baby_123: You are bound to clash with people and your mum is bound to side with the majority of your siblings to make conclusions.yea.I too used to think everyone hated me but at some point i figured its not possible everyone has a fault.It has to be me.I do have a bestfriend.We have had as many relationship-breaking fights as nepa takes light in a year but we're still bestfriends.We did not stick together because of anything but him;he still comes back even when im the cause of the fight to plead reconciliation.I dont expect every individual to do same so im sure the problem is from me.MY QUESTION IS HOW WILL I BE ABLE TO DEAL WITH PEOPLE WITHOUT HAVING ISSUES ALL THE TIME IRRESPECTIVE OF WHO THE ISSUE IS FROM Goodluck with schoolthanks dear |

If you go by that principle, you will always be fair in all your dealings. And you will know you did things with good conscience. Why are you fighting with your best friend like that? The fact that he comes to beg you all the time may mean he is gaining something from you, and does not want the relationship to end. Before another fight think thoroughly about if you still want the friendship and either end it for good, or dont get into a fight. Forget girlfriends for now, and focus on school. You will be glad you did. |

Kanwulia:hahaha...Recently i just learnt that the funniest people suffer depression the most and it did help me a bit at least now i know why my sadness is usually very deep when it comes.It might suffice to mention that i stand at 6ft 4 or so.So people usually point it out as its probably the only thing they can think of quickly say to me.So i try to measure up by dressin fly but i attract attention anyways.It so happens that the negative attention does get me deeply.take for instance this girl i toasted one time,after everything she said she was ashamed to walk wid me cos i was going to make her look a midget |

Not to mention SHALLOW! The 'midget' excuse is just that, TO GET RID OF YOU. . . . having experienced some form of an EMOTIONAL WATERLOOOOOO or another in your relationship. Or I do hope you do not only attract 'intellectual midget/HOBBITS' ashamed of the 'SIZE OF YOUR HEIGHT'! At least YOU recognize YOU have a "situation"! You do not have a problem YET! Till you bring children into the world! I have encountered many like you. MOSTLY MEN! You all have a CDF(common denomination factor). The lack of SELF-LOVE. . . . Which hinders your ability to sustain the MINIMUM, REQUIRED DOSAGE OF SOME HEALTHY, long-term social magnetism! From your original post, it is very obvious you grew up among the MOST SOCIALLY-AKWARD PERSONIFICATIONS OF THE TYPICAL AFRICAN STATE OF COLLECTIVE, EMOTIONAL VAGABONIA. This is usually spear-headed by the FATHERS/SPE/-DONORS aka "Patriarchs" turned "Partridges-From-PEAR-TREE-TO-PEAR-TREE"! Only to be seen on the FIRST DAY OF CHRISTMAS, without "ANY TRUE-LOVE/S"! In simple terms, you are a product of your environment. You are a TYPICAL NIGERIAN DUDE! You have never received ANY form of familial love. Your family dealt with you as a DUTIFUL INCONVENIENCE, not out of love. You were NEVER NURTURED, so you exist by NATURE like 'wild game'! Women are EMOTIONAL BEINGS. SO ARE CHILDREN! If you cannot work around that, THE CYCLE OF POLYGAMY CONTINUES! You are gonna have MANY WOMEN, BUT LOVED BY NONE. Hopefully, you might get a lonely and desperate female with a VERY DEHYDRATED EMOTIONAL FOUNDATION like you have inherited. I pray you can find some help, besides from the likes of TUBERCULOSIS "TB" JOSHUA. May YOUR GOOD LORD help your future generation. *Let us pray* 4 Likes |
