Honey is there anything like an ''Extroverted Introvert''? because i happen to fall into that category,i haven't had a relationship in years but my few friends tell me i am too much 'fun' not to be in one. Funny thing is i rarely go out and i am still waiting for a cute Tarzan to swing down my door and claim me Sad

from what u mentioned above, it means u have an introverted secondary trait

emerged01:


that is one of my problem. my situation grow worse when I'm feeling bad,that is when I prefer to be left alone,that is when I can keep mute. now she has developed a trick. whenever I'm in that mood, she will give me my baby to carry. Lol! I will surely smile to homeboy.

you dont need to say much so that we wont say things we wld regret

It is not easy...I don't have a galfriend since 2009...My first and last gf got married and since then I have been single... She is an extrovert and me an introvert... People always think am boring and soo quit...But she thinks am the best thing that has happened in her life...We are still friends her husband inclusive

Stories that touch the heart. Bro ur wife is on her way. I don't know the route she's taking,but she's coming! BELIEVE!!!

Being an introvert doesn't mean you are shy. An introvert is simply someone who is energized by being alone. Unlike an extrovert who draws energy by being around people and around stimulating environments, an introvert is drained by such environments. An introvert doesn't have the natural drive to partake in events and social gathering and functions and if he our she engages in them, he or she would need a lot of time alone to get back the energy lost.

The current Nigerian society has been wired to favor the extroverts. Our social, economic, cultural and political society structures has been constructed in a way that makes one wonder if we are really living in an extrovert's world

When it comes to relationships, introverts are hugely misunderstood especially when its an introvert/extrovert relationship.
For example an introvert may choose to spend more time with himself/herself not because he or she doesn't want to spend time with the partner, but because naturally he or she prefers to spend reasonable amount of time with himself /herself

Also an introvert may not be as outgoing and may not like to attend parties and social functions with the partner and this could dent the growth of the relationship

So my question to all introverts out there In a relationship. How do you cope?
Also if you are in a relationship with an introvert, how do you cope?

The Nigerian society isn't wired for extroverts, the world seems so. The truth is that God made both the Extrovert and the Introvert for a purpose and both temperaments can learn to switch with much learning.
I am an Introvert who has learned to be an Extrovert when the need arises.
As for significant partners who refuse to learn the others personality traits and make every positive use of it....... wooo. Life isnt fair. Only the strong rule the world Intro or Extro.

Same here,d only thing that save me then was that i attended fellowship,but neva joined d workers teami and my roommate neva walked to school togeda most times nor sat together in class.it was me alone,one man battalion.
I once wooed a senior and older female colleague in school,she was afraid coz my words and approach were intense,she did thot i was a cultist which i wasnt...i just had to give up when pple were saying i should let her go

I am also an introvert and it has not Been easy..

lagmostkuit:
Relationship wise- i'm so boring and am too shy for my liking and maybe that's why i've not had a lasting relationship.

Social life- i'm lively among my friends who knows me fully well.

To conclude it- ORIGIN turns me into an extrovert

keep away from Orijin! no go dey blame devil when you don go the extra mile one day

I am extrovert but i think i'm dating an introvert but one with a difference and it's not been easy. She doesn't love books, doesn't love movies, can't spend meaningful time hanging out, in fact is useless in social gatherings, gets confused and stressed up in the midst of people to the point of acting up and sometimes irrationality, refuses 2attend functions if i'm not there bla bla. I have met introverts who can hold their own but... I love her tho but men it's not easy

luvola:

Yes,but with time you wld enjoy it

Am an introvert, but i do turn myself on with green bottles when i have to, i remember dating a gal who was introvert too, it was fun, most times we be indoors by ourselves smoking and reading or watching tv, we go see movies, we play ludo, draft, chess and cards, when we visit public places like bar, shrine, beach, restaurant, we sit in a corner away from public eye, we kiss if we get bored, it was fun. Its fun to be an introvert, i spend most of my time on myself, for myself and by myself

Hennnnnn! Sadiat!!!! So na dey shaq my orijin every night and you tell me the bottle is leaking? Oriiya mi elekuro o...

Just kidding.

If you depend on orijin to change the 'in' to 'ex' in 'trovert', you are bound to have a lot of problems like wrong decision m judgment, vulnerability, etc Being an introvert isn't a crime, whoever understands you will appreciate that. Don't let orijin redefine your life. We guys can handle the craze that comes with shaq'ing but when ladies do the same, it's totally classless.

I 'll seriously like to connect with other EXTREMELY INTROVERTED male/female NLers like myself. I need someone I could share ideas and suggestions with. Someone that would understand me and take me for who I am. I need someone to talk with. I feel really lonely in the world locked up in my own skin most times. Please PM me if you think we can be social or real friends. (Introverts only please)

So you have never had a reasonable relationship and u dare raise your yeye face at me All men have been chopping and dropping you. No wonder you look like a 50yr old. No sense, no brain, no beauty. Smh

@Emboldened, it is not true. Introverts are not shy people. I am an introvert and I am neither cold nor shy.

Ameeen bro

Compromise is the word I am an introvert while my fiancée is an extrovert I do understand the need for her to go out as one of her characteristic trait, so at times I have to satisfy this need as I don't want to risk someone else fulfilling this need and she does same for me. If we are going to walk together we have to agree, we both have to make sacrifices most times that's what love does and there are times that I sense that an outing is real important to her I push myself to go with her and most time she thanks me afterwards as she sees it as a sacrifice on my path.

I think it depends on how one can manage oneself, I believe im introvert and to an extent it hasn't realily be rosy ..relationship wise it understanding but most time boring for two introvert dating believe me..

Tallesty1:
