Sincerely I sometimes wonder hoe those introverts cope with a million thoughts in their mind yet they withdraw themselves from the world.








That can be quite depressing though! God please help them.
introversion is not a disease. please leave us like that.

I am not sure the writer is an introvert, he/she makes it look like intoverts are mentally disturbed... Extroverts are the party every night, hangout with friends all the time, always full of life kind of people... Introverts like me just like quiet time to themselves, don't really care about things that don't need to be cared about (my life example) most times their friends and girlfriends are extroverts because (from my life point of view) those fun friends are the easiest way for them to let loose, have fun and have a little ray of sunshine on their forehead...

That's what the extroverts don't understand. you don't have to be around people to be happy. Intoverts are usually engaged with activities that make them happy when they are alone.

MrThisandthat:
Hello darlings,
How do you do today? I'll take it that you are doing great.

I come bearing good news to those of you who believe in partial or total withdrawal from people and and environment(the introverts). I may know not if you were born that way or if it's due to some circumstances in your past but I put it to you that people around have a problem with you because you're unpredictable and may seem as a threat to them.
However, temperaments are what make up our personality for without them one might not be able to distinguish one human from another. These temperaments may exist singly or multiply in one person but the ability to take control of it is the wheeling power we possess as humans.
Although,it can be difficult to admit to yourself that you maybe an introvert because you have a "spoonful" of friends. Let me give you a few suggestions that might aid you in identifying who you truly are.

- you enjoy having time to yourself because your best thinking occurs when you're by yourself.
-you're the last to raise your hand when someone asks for something from a group
-you often wear headphones when you're in a public situation
-you receive more calls,texts and emails than you make, unless you have no choice.

If you are nodding through all these suggestions, then you might as well be the person I'm talking to. Being an introvert definitely has its advantages because you enjoy reflecting on your own thoughts, you'll be less likely to get bored when you're alone than someone who needs constant social stimulation. But then again, the pros begin to out weigh the cons.

People who don't know you might think you're aloof or that you feel superior to them. You begin to get labelled as weird or snobby and a lot of negative traits are ascribed to you. You may often get overlooked and it's difficult to blend in a noisy extroverted world. The worst is that you may begin to sink into depression because your thoughts begin to lead you and before you get to notice, the psychiatrist is already draining you with lessons that are as good as useless at that point.

In order not to get too extreme, you should allow yourself, giving yourself permission to be a little more open in revealing your thoughts and feelings and this may help you make the best of both worlds.
Above all, talk to someone sometimes, get a friend or a couple of extroverted friends or even a pet. Just get close to something because we all need somebody to lean on!!!





Yours truly,

I will start by commending your writing, well structure with varieties of point. Seriously I will say you have talent, my advice don't waste it where it won't be use. Now to your write-up, my advice is that no matter how, who or what people may be, don't try to bend them, but try and blend in to their life. Getting to know them deep might change your perception of who they really are.Have a wonderful day

Well said! However, it is always good to be oneself and not try to force oneself to fit in where one does not belong. Introvert or Extrovert, people will always talk. An introvert shouldn't be influenced by what others say. If an introvert is comfortable opening up to others, then he/she should do so and if otherwise, then he/she shouldn't try to change who he/she is because of what others say or feel about him/her.


I'm proud to be an introvert. I love myself the way I am. smiley

In this country where people are not ready to understand people.
Introverts are the most misunderstood people walking this Earth.
There are times were thoughts will just fill your head and you'd get stressed out.
Some people think you're backward not knowing you're way ahead.
Avoid thinking too much about things that are not really worth it because they could mess with your head.

The funny thing is that majority of nairaland members are actually introverted, they spend several hours online rather than mingle with others. I'm equally introverted but I also socialize when it's absolutely necessary or when I'm excited. I thank God for being introverted because I would probably have been poor if I was extroverted, a lot of things I do that earns money for me were possible because of solitary moments of brainstorming and even now I still need to be alone most times to work. Sometimes when I'm busy and friends will come visiting me in the office, I'll only hope they would go as soon as possible so I can concentrate shocked shocked
