ojaydedon: She is the author of Quiet, one of the greatest books on introversion of the 21st century. She is an introvert herself. I will say one is'nt a complete introvert without reading Quiet. https://https-en-m-wikipedia-org/wiki/Susan_Cain?iorg_service_id_internal=1547440102204384%3BAfraIBIGmhR0RUl5 1 Like |

Arsenate:YEAH. I get this every time. Especially from the opposite sex, they'd eventually start giving me the 'i dont care' attitude but who cares There's this female friend of mine who unknowingly to me, she had a soft spot for me. Then as usuall i seemed not to care and the thing she called love for me started growing into HATE. I mean seriously as it stand, our friendship is in a faceoff. We just ignore each other for no reason at all. Moreso some people knows how to tolerate the next person and so you wouldn't have to face the challenge of trying to convince them of how much of a humble person you are. Some people just take you for who you are! I wont say i'm that much of an introvert cos sometimes i just see myself going outta my shell and talk the hell in public Think i'm inbetween the both personality trait. I'm in my best moment when alone and i'm in a bliss moment when with friends Ain't nothing wrong with Introversion man! They're usually the intelligentsia. 3 Likes |

Hello everyone, good to meet people of like-personality. I prefer to leave friendship to chance most times. I value mutual respect and politeness and with time, friendship will set in if it is meant to be. I'm very analytical and tend to do things with 'reason' and not necessarily because it is the conventional way or because that's what everyone is doing. Unfortunately, others tend to see one as weird or a proud person. 4 Likes |

I came across this lounge today and I am glad i found it. I have already downloaded the Susan Cain's Quiet and can't wait to start reading it when i get off from work. I just started work at a new place and I haven't been mingling properly (don't even knw if i knw how). Just 'Hi' and 'Hello' and 'Good morning' gets boring after a while so now i have to think of more conversation starters (and continuations). It can be really stressful to think and rethink every single thing u are about to say for fear of saying the wrong thing( I mean, no one is going to kill u or anything so why stress it). Most times I wish I was more spontaneous. 4 Likes |

XfStyle:Same here .I always wonder too .I don't know how to start up a conservation and maintain it. And the things people find funny and laugh at ,don't necessarily sound funny to me. In school then,people use to think I am proud and a snob. I really wish I could mingle and maintain conversations with people.And not be so shy . 2 Likes |

Introverts!!!!
I heard you guys don't like celebrating your birthday....don't know if it's true |
Re: Introverts Lounge (Extroverts Pls Keep Off !!) by Rukkydelta(f): 12:37am On Jun 20, 2016 |
zlatan10: Says who ? I love celebrating my birthdays although I don't celebrate it that big. I normally invite family and the few friend I have |
Re: Introverts Lounge (Extroverts Pls Keep Off !!) by bfn1: 8:52am On Jun 20, 2016 |
zlatan10: Yes. Some of us don't like it. Even on my Facebook profile, I have my birth date hidden so nobody gets any birthday notification. So, with the exception of close family members & friends, most people don't know anything. It gives me much peace to have those calls & messages come in trickles, rather than being inundated with them. 4 Likes |

I am glad to be on dis thread,well conversing one on one is not a problem bt talking to d public is a challenge nd I'm also careful of nt making mistakes while talking. |
Re: Introverts Lounge (Extroverts Pls Keep Off !!) by HCF(m): 6:08pm On Jun 21, 2016 |
emekz1: Recently, I was speaking to a working class Guy on d need to put in for an academic program that would enhance his career prospects. I realized he was reluctant to do so...so, I probed further(cos this is something he could have done more than 10 years ago). It was then he revealed "if I put in for the program, I would have to deliver seminars publicly, defend publicly...how do i face the class/ groups?". I was surprised and shocked to hear his underlying fears...'A brilliant guy like u,allowing the fear of public speaking stand in between you and success?!'. This is to tell u the extent introverts sometimes stay away from achieving greatness because of fear. Generally, stage fright is a challenge virtually everyone faces. The degree only varies, with introverts being mostly affected and this is largely because of the high level of self consciousness. Ironically, most of the world's renowned orators were/ are introverts. These are introverts who faced their fears, thus acheiving their dreams. In short, you can reduce the intensity of the fear to the barest . Start by reading books on the art of public speaking...and then put the techniques into practice. There would be mistakes made, blunders committed, but ignore all that, laugh at yourself and move on....till you look like a pro.... 6 Likes |

zlatan10: Not all introverts. Some few do celebrate it like extroverts do. But for people very much close to the end of introversion on the introversion-extroversion continuum, they don't enjoy celebrating it - and if they do, not with a crowd. I don't celebrate my birthdays and it's not known to too many people. 3 Likes |

organism3: Hi @Organism3! You have made a good decision to refrain from disrespecting her. If you do confront her, apart from the fact that it won't help matters, she'll have more to talk about as 'rude' and 'disrespectful' will be added to whatever she says about you. The best thing to do is to keep calm and occasionally in very subtle ways, make it known to whoever cares to listen that those qualities of yours are a part of who you are. It may take time, but she will come to terms with it when she realises her talk couldn't change anything. People naturally don't celebrate 'difference,' until they are left with no choice. So be the best you can be and in no time, you'll see her stop the gossip and complaints. If it will make you feel better, my mom used to complain too but after a long while, when she realised I was who I was and her complaints were not bringing her desired results, she stopped complaining. 2 Likes |

I think I'm too considerate of others (most especially in relationships) and most times, people take it for granted. I consider it necessary to put an end to it now but how can I achieve this? I feel this attribute is not ideal in today's world because only few people possess virtues. 2 Likes |
