Re: Are Introverts Born Or Made? by GoodIsGod: 4:17pm On Jun 12, 2022
Most are made.
Factors:
1. Scolding a child when he or she wants to express himself. He or she might grow up as an introvert.
2. Birth defect like stuttering (Stammering) A child might grow up as an introvert because of fear of shame of stammering. I grew up stammering. This made me an introvert. I express myself better writing.

Both are possible

I remember when i was younger, i didn’t enjoy visiting people nor being in large gatherings. A birthday party was thrown for my younger sister, I couldn’t stay outside for more than 20mins, I even almost missed the family picture, my dad had to threaten me to come out.

When i finished my secondary education, i made new friends and become extremely loud, went to late night parties, mixed with different people. I became more alive, my mum was very happy about the new me ( except the partying part )

When we left the barracks for our house, it was a new site then, no one to talk to, except my younger siblings and they were still in secondary school, my elder sister was in uni, so I stayed home from morning till 6pm alone.
everything became boring again and I returned to the old me. Up till today, i find it very unnecessary to talk on phone, I’ll rather chat, i don’t enjoy visiting people or being visited, i can be with you for hours and not say anything. Throughout my tertiary life, i had only two friends, apart from this guys, no other person can claim they’ve heard me say more than 5 sentences. Forget all the rain boot kicking and all. In real life I’m too quiet, even for my own liking. Nairalanders who have met me can testify.

So, it is possible for an introvert to be born or made. It can be inherited and situations can force one to be an introvert. Situations like mouth odour, bad diction, low self esteem, pride etc


One of the reason why i kick people with my rain boot


Damn... nasty... I’m out of here


You talking about me broo? Except the partying part, we've been through and going through same shiit

Rn, the fam out having fun, and I'm holed up in the room. I find going out stressful!
F-uckk!

No. I meant if introverts are made, all my siblings, by virtue of being raised by the same mother under the same value and doctrines, would be introverts like I am.

Who is really extroverted as an infant?


Who is always introverted as a non-infant except the person has a mental deformity shown that way?
Re: Are Introverts Born Or Made? by Freeman911(m): 4:26pm On Jun 12, 2022
Both
Early home life, training, education, and motivation also exercise powerful influences on our actions throughout life. Temperament is, however, the number one influence on a person's life, not only because it is the first thing that affects us, but because, like body structure, color of eyes, and other physical characteristics, it escorts us through life. An extrovert is an extrovert. He may tone down the expression of his extroversion, but he will always be an extrovert. Similarly, although an introvert may be able to come out of his shell and act more aggressively, but he will never be transformed into an extrovert.
Temperament sets broad guidelines on everyone's behavior-- patterns that will influence a person as long as he lives.

There is nothing like being an intorvet. You are just dumb shy and it's very bad

When you see comments such as the one you quoted, you know it can only come from an extrovert. Of course, their thought process can be very flippant and shallow a lot of times.
An introvert would process his/her thoughts better!

You know my biggest problem with extroverts?
They think it's wrong for everyone else to not be extroverted as they are!



God bless you.Being an introvert is not a deformity in anyway.

Introvert can be made by society one lives
And sometimes it's genetic.
This can be proved by checking the society or the parents that bring up their children.

Re: Are Introverts Born Or Made? by naija1stnigar(m): 4:56pm On Jun 12, 2022
The issues regarding personality has to be genetically inherent, the difference between introversion and extroversion has to do with the movement of certain chemicals in our body, these chemicals depends largely on the nature of our environment to receive energy which makes certain individuals to either be charged up or expend certain amount of energy to cope in such an environment.
Extroverts are always charged up while they are in the midst of people, and this makes them to always be at the forefront in any gathering they find themselves, while an introvert expends energy in staying out a long time or meeting new people, an Introvert is charged while being alone or with few friends who are well known to him while the extroverts are charged by staying out with friends and meeting new people, extroverts are attention seekers while the introverts are naturally reserved. An introvert is also capable of relating with others too but will have to spend more time being alone in order to gain back the energy he expended had while he was with others, and conversely, an extrovert will feel the urge to get busy in order to gain the energy he has expended while being alone. Notice that in all these,it is thier inherent body chemicals that dictates thier actions and define thier personality, it is just like when a pig is dressed up in a brand new suit and mistakenly gets to come across a mud will believe he has found his own paradise, that's how our body chemicals directs us and defines our personalities. I hope I have contributed meaningfully.

From my recent experience, I would think they are made based on the conditions surrounding their growing up.

So, while extroverts likely see you as the "quiet one" who "doesn't like trouble", you're busy "hating" them. undecided

They and born and made.
While some people are introverts by birth, some become introverts as a result of some environmental factors.

Being an introvert doesn't mean quietness, so ask yourself why you're always quiet.
In the right clique, born introverts are very loud and talks more.
Born introvert extremely love and enjoy being alone in a very quiet environment.
Rather than watching films, they prefer to learn something new, thank to phone and Internet.
They mostly see things differently and prefer not to argue if you don't understand or see what they see.
Their mental and analytical mind is very sound which inturn make them to be more introverted because people only strike a formal discussion/conversation with them because of their sharp analytical mind. Hence, they end-up with serious friends and not extroverts who might influence their behavior atleast alittle.
Large percent and not all though.
Cool Analysis I must say..

Some are born and some are made. I became introverted in secondary school. Only the few very close to me can say I'm not an introvert. Being an introvert is not a crime and most introverts are intelligent

Being introvert is a result of low self esteem, cluelessness or wisdom.

People with wisdom rarely talk anyhow, they mind their businesses and always think deeply before they speak.

People with low self esteem too are mostly introverts, they avoid public or associate with people.

Most clueless people too are introverts.
I think you are clueless about the subject of discuss.. cheesy

You further confused your confusion with mistaking Inferiority complex as definition of Introverts.

Introverts are extremely intelligent humans..In research, most genuis are Introverts.

Introverts can be talkative when they interact with intelligent people whom they are comfortable with.

I laugh when I read such comments here. Low self-esteem indeed. Clueless indeed. grin

I am an introvert because I have a dire need to protect my space, my boundaries and my privacy. I am picky about my associations because I am protective of my peace of mind. Introverts don't avoid people. We only avoid people who have no boundaries because we hate drama.

We like to be in control of ourselves, so you won't find us walking around in groups like sheep being led to graze in the pasture.

We do have friends. Very few, but very meaningful relationships. Some of our friends are extroverts, while some are just as introverted as we are.

I don't know whether I was born an introvert, but I did know from an early age that I hated drama and would deliberately avoid toxic people. I was the kid who would share her packed food with the pleasant kid and not the mean kid.

My 2 sisters are extremely talkative and outgoing, yet we had the same upbringing. I have 3 brothers, the youngest tends to keep to himself but the other 2 can't shut the hell up and enjoy being around people. I tend to gel with each one of them regardless.

I'm an introvert and I was born with it...

Started exhibiting it since I was around 3 according to my parents...

I would just be isolated from other kids that are playing just to play with my toys alone and I also hated being in crowdy places...

How I got through school still remains a mistery...

Hmmn if you had married an introvert like me. We would have much in common and understand each other so well. I'll let you have your personal room alone and I have my personal room too. I give you space, you give me space and then you come to my abode when you start to miss me and I come to your room when I want to be with you and we'll have only one child so the house is not always rowdy and noisy grin. I think it will be fun that way, there will be mutual respect and understanding and no "see finish" scenario...
You have twin and married her finish in your comment.. grin grin

In reality,you two will be boring..

Introverts marry extrovert...And that's period! grin

It is complementing.
