QuietHammer:

Stop masturbating.

Jackossky:
wow...Nice thread
Down to business

I simply can't say if I am an introvert or extrovert ..I tried to weigh myself but to no avail

I am not shy to start a discussion with a new person...
but I can't keep it on for long...
I can create a first impression by being loquacious today, but maintaining it till morrow, the next and the next becomes a problem..People do tag me as a proud guy.In my whole neighborhood, no friend of my age talks or relate to me freely (boys and girl)
And again I don't like being with friends for long, sometimes I might feel the urge,but most time, it dies down...

I am mostly taciturn but whenever I am with some of best friends at school. I tend to be very loquacious, but when I don't see any of them, I do cocoon to myself by being reticent.


I can start a group discussion in school, I can lead my peers during presentation, I can impress the newest girl in campus, i can awe an audience...
so I do think
Maybe it is a mask or a cascade
coz when I get home

I become all alone, I become laconic and I become quiet..Maybe I am just complicated for no reason coz I exhibit trait of an extrovert and that of an introvert.
So,I don't know if I belong here,I don't know , I don't...

Drops the mic...

Hello fellow introverts I don't mind if I'm a man of low degrees

DonOms:

What's a man of low degrees like?

DonOms:


You're ambivert and likely with more leanings towards introversion. That's some edge you've got I'd say... Some introverts like to get near that midpoint but find it somewhat difficult.

realtem:
Very true, it's not like i find it easy talking to people for too long. Infact, i love being alone But being social is a skill that could really be useful depending on the profession one chooses and the way one chooses to live his life.

During the last long christmas hols, i was alone in the house for weeks playing dh5, watching anime, eating and sleep.My only friends at that period were my guildmates in dh5
People where kinda like being sympathetic to me that i was stuck alone at home but they had no idea how i was enjoying it.
Now, i'm longing for that moment again.
I can't wait for next christmas

Jackossky:

Wow, thanks for this bruh
I just went to read more about ambivert and I think I fit perfectly to it.
Thanks for the enlightenment . Kudos

Jhaytee4all:


Just like a simple ordinary person. . . Why asking?

DonOms:


I asked for two reasons: 1) I didn't understand your statement as it appeared truncated; and 2) I didn't know what it meant for a man to be of 'low degrees'.

Apus:
I'm actually in this state of mind right now and guess what.....it feels like Heaven!!

Olarewajub:

Enjoyment galore.

Ray1251:

LOL I don't, I didn't know that masturbation leads to shyness any scientific proof??, or talking for experience? I like learning new things

Olarewajub:

Introvert comes from Latin intro- , "inward," and vertere , "turning." It describes a person who tends to turn inward mentally. Introverts sometimes avoid large groups of people, feeling more energized by time alone.



Are you an introvert? If yes, this is definitely the place to be.
What are your challenges as an introvert and are you happy about your introversion?
P.S=> Extrovert- Keep Off.

I just stumbled on this thread and I think I'm an introvert. I find it hard to communicate my feelings verbally but good in communicating via messages, I get scared approaching strangers. public speaking is a no no for me.. I get frightened and shaken. I really want to improve on myself.. any help?

RICKYMARIO:
I'm also in same shoes with you, bt improving gradually.
one way to get better is by confronting the challenge head on e.g in the case of public speaking, whenever you have the opportunity to talk to a gathering of people (no matter how small) do not shy away from it.Its a gradual process, you'll get better.
PS: I've come to realise we can't really change who we are, the best we can do is behaviour modification.
