You are depressed..

Seek help for your mental health before you commit suicide..

I'm an introvert. I understand you well. You must try not to be 100% introvert if you don't want to be depressed or toxic

I am an introvert, when i was in University alot of the extrovert listed me as top 10 most popular guys in department.

When i have a seminar or defense they all want to be there because my confidence and social skills is the best in the department


But i just get drained talking if it's not necessary or doesn't lead to something important


I always make sure i put in the work intellectually and otherwise that can take 11 persons, so i am never stranded
The way una dey misuse words self, I'm pretty sure that lots of people calling themselves introverts aren't introverts.

We introverts are rare gem. Well my own introvert is always on me when money no dey. I manage my space. Think straight and try to figure out what to do with my life. As I cant be broke and be laughing with others and social shit that might bring me into more problems if not guided properly. Yes introverts are highly intellectual most of our advance world inventions today are from introverted minds.

You lack whatever you lack cuz you lack them, not cuz you’re an introvert..

I’m an introvert and I’m living a good life..

Being an introvert is actually a blessing. Not so many people can stay and survive happily alone..

You won’t understand this until you become great or billionaire in life..

I don't know if this could also be called introversion, but I get depressed when I'm in a crowd or among people. Actually this is not a personality trait but a health issue, I lip read, and I can do that best when it involves just one person. Most times, when I'm with a groups of people conversing I badly want to join in the conversation but its quite impossible to read everyone's lips so i just bring out my phone and get myself busy. I would have called myself an extrovert trapped as an introvert but i have the bottling of emotions issue. I could be really mad at you and yet still keep talking to you like nothing ever happened, and most times the anger subsides.

I could be very outspoken on stage but that's where it ends, cos you wouldn't hear a word from me after that. Don't even know what to call myself, but if this is how introversion feels then it really sucks

I think maybe because your heart is open, this is why the creator can use you, it may not be due to been an introvert. Religious dogma tires me.

I think i prefer logical and explainable things than unexplainable ideas, although i have learned to observe the spiritual side, and i notice, some of my dreams may predict the future. But i don't know how spirituality works, so i only tend to be on an observational side, i think our brains are like antenna's they receive information which includes noise, so its good to know why you get some information, so you know whether its impressions from just an environment rather than outside the environment.

Everyone is has access to spiritual gifts, they just have to know this.


Mikecold:
Yes there has to be a balance, even spiritually God prefers introverts.


God speaks mostly through dreams, he might not use a vocal physical voice.

It takes an introvert to sit and get the interpretation from God.

I am a firm believer that man is a spirit, the world is a spiritual cocoon beyond our mere eyes, this has saved me and my family from many issues.


Also i have the gift of reading someone and knowing their true selves beyond the deceit


I can actually look at an opportunity and Know it's potentials and future limits

Very wrong assertion. Introverts dont have a messed up life more than other personality traits.
Yes,they are more of a.loner but that gives them the opportunity to think and birth something great.
All personality traits have their pros and cons. Understand you strengths and work on your weaknesses. Also find a way to socialize. Social media can help you

Apparently any intelligent person can deduce from this post that he's the lonely type of introvert.

He clearly wishes to change that.

Finding purpose is an abstract solution. A larger demographic of the world is still trying to figure out their purpose. I'm pretty sure that includes you.

Why not offer him a more practical and realistic solution.

Okay, i think your love for your parents, attaches you to their welfare, this may be the reason why you have a strong spiritual connection to them.

I also can get information about people i love so much, or maybe something i am concerned about.

Sometimes, when i do wrong, i get a dream that warns me about my wrong, its scary and funny, i think its because of my duty to integrity, when i lack it, cheesy cheesy cheesy.



Mikecold:
Yes bro, this is not just noise signal,


I once slept by 8pm when i was in University (unlike me who sleeps 10, 11pm)


Just an hour into sleep i got a dream of unrest

(most times i am too tired to get up unless my body and soul concludes it is important)


As i got up immediately PHCN brought the light which they didn't for a long time (exactly why i slept early)


My spirit was certain it was very important i prayed to cancel that dream (instead of the TV i was coincidentally supposed to watch)


So i prayed, and my spirit told me to call my mom immediately, (I don't call except for weekend because talk drains me)


But i had to call her outside schedule, i asked about everything, she said fine, i asked specifically about my dad she said he is fine but not back yet (which was normal to my dad)

I asked if she was very sure, she insisted, so i hung up.


She was the one who called me 30minutes later that my dad was involved in an accident about the time we spoke


But he had miraculously survived


I do get other dreams and coincidences like this too


Many extrovert have any open heart to know things but are too distracted to pick up little signals

sorry bro.. introversion is bae, your case is simply a case of metal healthiness.
An introvert here, and I can assure you I am the object of emulation from friends.
Lack of basic social skills doesn't mean you are an introvert, you have to learn it,it doesn't come out of the box..

Infact being an introvert will save you alot of troubles in this world and also befit you and those around you via

Advance emotional intelligence.
great observational skills
Creativity and General brilliance


Try associate yourself with extroverted friends to gain knowledge of basic social interactions ( don't try to do like them,just pick that trait) I promise you will become the best version of you ..

Yes, He needs to interact with people, perhaps who are extroverts, that will help him appreciate his introversion and balance it.

He is having some challenges that he needs to study and learn, what it is and why it is.

Mhen, are you really sure you know what you're talking about? Introverts don't lack social skills. There's a BIG difference between can't do and won't do. The former is about Ability while the latter Preference. Introverts just prefer to do things in small groups or have few friends. It doesn't mean they'll die around thousands of people or aren't able to lead, or be funny.

You seem to confuse introversion with shyness. The two are not the same and aren't linked.


But give introverts a break if they prefer not to engage in small talks. Some of us just arent cut out to analyse what Davido and Chioma did in WizKid's birthday bash or What Tonto Dike wore to a Nightclub. Those are all small talks and their likes constitute 90% of what people usually discuss in those 'social gatherings'.


This is just me and I hate this feeling. I could get so angry but you wouldn't know because I can't voice it out. I could kill!!

Somebody save me!

You're sure just doing all you can to appear pitiable. And that's shameful

One time, I was in a gathering with a fellow cousin and she asked to use my phone to take pictures since it's clearer than her's. Unfortunately, when she returned the phone back to me the screen was terribly cracked. Apparently, as they were dancing somebody struck her hand and the device fell on the hard floor.

I was like, 'shiit, shiit, shiit. Damn it' I collected the phone and told her it's okay. I could see she was sorry and disappointed. So I encourage her to forget about it. Shit happens.

She actually told me a few weeks later she had expected me to be very angry and shout at her. That she kinda feel I was not being honest by telling her it was okay. I'm sure you'll say I bottled my anger and died in silence.

Of course, I was naturally not happy about my phone. But I rationalised that she didn't mean to damage my stuff. A mistake that could have happened even if the phone was in my hands.

So, do I have to call her careless, or stupid, or be emotional to show that I was not happy about my phone or not bottling anything up?

Stop confusing being introvert with being depressed or suffering from chronic anxiety. Most Nigerian introverts are just people frustrated due to lack of opportunity or resources. I have seen many people claim introvert only to travel out of the country and start balling. I have seen so called introverts suddenly turn into motivational speakers when they reached a certain status in their career/life, in fact I am an introvert by nature but when the success came with the exposure abroad, I discovered that what I called being introvert was just plain frustration, I no know how I became a talkative once dollars became involved grin grin grin
