bigerboy200: Hehe Psychologically it is not possible to be an introvert today and become an Extrovert tomorrow. The question now is whether you're an introvert or Extrovert. If the latter is your personality, then you aren't suppose to be here. Happy Weekend! |

ModestGal: From what you wrote, you're an introvert but equally shy. Are you satisfied being perceive as prideful, and don't you want to change the mindset people have towards you? |

A full time introvert. On a scale of 14 with 7 as the centre point for introverts and extroverts, I resonate from 2 to 8. Take the average and u will find my position. ..Being an introvert has good and and bad sides... the good aspects are fine but the negative tendencies like not initiating and sustaining a conversation, watching pornography n masturbating at the slightest privacy, suppressing feelings comfortably and being selfish are quite terrible and I am sure they are curable or are they not? |

Oahray: I completely agree with you on what a 'label' can do. However, it's more of perception than anything else. Whether Dr Carl Jung defined the introversion/extroversion concept or not, people would still be what they are; just perhaps without a name for their personality. My point is, we can't always control how people understand things or how through misconceptions, believe what is false. We can only try to educate each other and hope that many people can be properly informed. I really do like your line of reasoning as I sometimes think 'labelling' has done more societal and psychological damage than good. |
Re: Introverts Lounge (Extroverts Pls Keep Off !!) by DonOms(m): 10:00pm On Nov 19, 2016 |
Dking99: I guess this is part of what Oahray meant when he mentioned the potential problems with labelling terms. The truth is no two individuals are the same. So the fact that one introvert exhibits those traits doesn't mean all would. More so, we are all differently influenced by social, psychological and cultural factors which in turn produce different effects on us. There is no such thing as curing introversion. Fine, we may have a propensity to get depressed and also become selfish with our personal space but certainly, not all those things you mentioned there are peculiar to introverts due to their personality. We owe it to ourselves to improve the self and manage our personalities by creating balance as best as we can. 6 Likes |

Oahray: Hey... I knew your moniker was familiar when I saw it but I assumed I may have come across it briefly in a post long ago. But I was so certain it was more than that so I thought hard and figured it out: Nairaland Poet Competition Season 2 (2013). We were both contestants .

DonOms: The questions being raised were not adequately addressed. You have succeeded in only window-dressing the thoughts of the Enquirer. If you are an introvert you will sense that there is a strong connection with introverts and tendency towards sexual perversions such as masturbation, pornography and the likes. We are not saying only introverts exhibit such but often too common among the introverts. I had wanted to ask the same thing here on this page long time ago but distracted. Mr olarewajub, please what are your thoughts? And again, what is it like when a couple are both introverts. How has it been like? If there is any lady here who is wiling to be a friend with a male introvert, you are welcome. 1 Like |

damesilver: Lol @ window-dressing. Perhaps, my avoidance of a lengthy discourse on the said matter made my response so concise that you easily concluded I didn't address his question though I subtly did. Now, if you carefully read the post by Dking99 which I replied, you'd notice two main points from the bolded section: 1) he opined that there were 'negative tendencies' with being introverted. 2) He queried that those 'negative tendencies' should be curable but asked if they really are curable. So, firstly, he asked only one question and not questions. From my previous reply, I answered that question in the last paragraph of my post. Secondly, I believe Dking99 and you are somewhat right that we (introverts) have the propensity to exhibit characters associated with reclusive people. The neurotransmitter dopamine (controls reward and pleasure) is reacted to differently by introverts and extroverts and this (over-stimulation) may be partly responsible for our tendency to become addicted to reclusive-inclined acts. That is to say, it's possible we get 'high' easily on things like pornography and thus may get easily addicted. HOWEVER, there is no thorough scientific proof just yet to make that a fact. Now to my stand: the fact that we MAY be inclined DOESN'T mean we will choose to perpetrate such sexual perversions. So we can't conclude introversion directly relates to sexual perversions. Consider this: I, for example, was chronically depressed for a period of 5 years without any cause. It took me a period of 6 months to figure out a mind-conditioning/spiritual approach to get out of the senseless depression. Did I choose to be depressed? NO. Does it mean many introverts would turn out that way? NO. So it may be an inclination, but I didn't have to choose it or not. But consider your point on pornography and masturbation; as far as I see it, they are simply lifestyle choices at best. Some introverts have a well-balanced lifestyle so much so that they will spend 7 days in their own company and not be bored at all. If their spiritual and lifestyle choices won't favour an addiction to sexual perversions, they simply won't indulge in it. Finally, like we all know, an idle mind is the devil's workshop. That's completely true. Therefore, for example, someone who stays indoors all day and doesn't get so engrossed in any serious activity probabilistically has more time on his hands to venture into pornography than another, if his beliefs and lifestyle (amongst other influencing factors) permits. NEVERTHELESS, it is still mostly a matter of choice when you compare it with depression or selfishness with space. With the hope that this epistle is not another attempt to 'window-dress,' I believe I have made it clear that while some inclinations are innate, some are nothing but results of lifestyle choices and influencing factors...whether or not easily controllable. 4 Likes |

Olarewajub:To be honest, I don't know yet. As regards marriage, compromises would have to be made. I believe that's why it's advised to marry one whose company you enjoy- who you can hold intellectual discussions with. But we just need to understand each other's personality. 2 Likes |
