Mutaino7: my own is not as serious as urs my only bane is d inability to string 2 words up with unfamiliar faces..friends try to remedy diz by fixing blind dates or giving gals number to call pffft! I only end up flashing or sending call me which infuriates my friends. Most tyms on nl i just operate in ghost modes.. Its quite relieving to know am aint d only one experiencing d issue alone.

yeah same here,quiye releiving.......but unfamiliar calls scare me too,but not for now cos there s no one to call me,no one has my number

Bootybuttchic: hello everyone,ever since i knew about social networking,ever since i registered,i find it difficult to chat .....its not that i hold boring conversations o,cos at first whenever i go online e.g facebook'and meet any of my pals we chat,laugh,can talk for hours,which i always liked,....but later i began staying offline even when i could be there just viewing the names of those online,and if one person sends me message i contemplate for hours before reading it ,my heart beats atimes,and it not like its a death message oo .....i dont open mails too most times,i dont whatsapp,bbm nor nimbuzz.....even when i was using my blackberry,with all the hype of the bbm,the love people had for it,plus the contact list competition my freinds talk about,i had just eight contacts ,and i chatted withh just one person,i didnt even have my freinds on my list,just mum,and sis i had left,cos six names dissappeared without my notice ......and when some of my old freinds from highschool request my phone mumber or pin from the only freind i had left,i always told her to tell them i had no phone that it had been stolen .....we have been apart for six months now,but she still tell them i had no phone or she had to ask me ,she understood my fears ,.......even at a time i hated my phone ringimg but that has stopped now.....but my chatting with people palava hasnt stopped.....i only browse with my phone cos am inquisitive,and loves reading....part of the reasons i love NL
Note:am a shy person naturally,but i can talk alot when i become familiar with people around

and is there anyone like this too,and if you arent what do you think i can do ?

Bootybuttchic: its serious ooo

So no BBM, NO whatsapp, No Facebook, No twitter?

I wouldn't exactly say u described me(don't want u thinking I'm looking for an icebreaker).I'm acutally worse.
Itz been over a year I logged into facebook
My heart skips wen my fone rings.At a point,my dad asked if I duped sumone and was "running" from d person .
My bbm...had 4 contacts.Now I no get any .
It happens from time to time like this and I actually understand my wahala.I believe itz my duty to keep in touch.I believe I shuld be d one calling and asking after my peeps.When I don't do and it drags for a while,guilty conscience arrests me.Wen a call comes in,I feel d caller wants to accuse me of neglecting him or her(some actually do).
I'm on whatsapp now tho with two people outside family on the list.I'm gradually easing myself back.


There's a reason why you act that way;search yourself,let d house know and we can advise

Almost the same thing here though mine is that I do try to chat but if I sense that I'm the one doing all the asking when we ain't in an interview session. I'll just snub you...thats if I was even interested in the individual aside that any other chats without an aim seems pointless to me and I feel relieve once it ends. But back then I was a guru at marathon chats. I don't know what happened.

I could relate to what you're experiencing, OP.

I wouldn't say I don't have social apps, but I almost do not use them. I Facebook once in a blue moon, and I'd only log in to see notifications, nothing else. I could go on for weeks without saying a word on BBM or even change my profile picture ( I don't use my picture either, unless animations ).

Sometimes, I don't like picking calls when I don't feel like talking. Some people would call and they'd go on talking for a long period, I speak/talk less.

I prefer being on the internet just to read stuffs, and I kinda feel guilty when I don't keep in touch with people. Sometimes, I feel like I exist alone in this world, but, hey I am never depressed.

Life's beautiful, and I ain't got no worries. Well, not enough to get me depressed



I miss sitting behind a drum set

Hi.. Hope you are improving? Infact, can I have your pin?

Hi buttychick. Just stumbled on this thread and I was shocked to see that a significant twenty percent of respondents here complained of the same fear you posess in one form or the other. This got me thinking that if one in four people suffer this ailment, it must be a documented occurence. Further research showed that phoneophobia, telephoneophobia, onlineophobia and methylchloroonlineophobia are real ailments documented by the medical association of america. Google facts about these ailments and read up to your fill, so you know how to overcome your challenges. Shalom.
