Horlawoomey:I beg to disagree that introverts are mistaken for dullards. On the contrary, most people are intimidated by introverts. They see introverts as People with great insights who just don't talk but when they do, they can make a mincemeat of your long hours of talk and make u look stupid. In fact, introverts make others feel uncomfortable because of their great analytical skills; Introverts find holes in stories, they easily see the shortcomings of a beautifully articulated policy and they are often perfectionistic.... But despite all this, People wonder why Introverts appear 'abnormal and unhappy ' ... They believe introverts have issues CONSTANTLY bothering them...They believe Introverts are too SERIOUS about life, hence the various efforts to make them loosen up and have some fun...However, all these are JUST another set of myths about the group!! 11 Likes 2 Shares |

Hey! Finally read all the posts. When I saw this topic and read through the posts I felt at home and it remind of a verse in the bible that says there is nothing new under the sun. It is encouraging to know that there are people out there who are facing the same challenges as you and are conquering it. By the way, how do you know a fellow introvert when you see one? 2 Likes |

Peeps, so yesterday, I got an 'unavoidable' memo from the HR manager that I'll be handling a session in one of our monthly meetings next week Monday. As in, I'll stand in front of a sizable audience to conduct them for 15 long minutes! I've been avoiding that for years, but they caught me yesterday. Anyway, rehearsals have begun. 1 Like |

Although this trend av existed since but I wld love to drop my point too. One of my challenges was wen I graduated from school nd students signed out on us, a small party was then organised meanwhile a lot of pple was present dere, d mc then said two pple wld be called out to come nd dance. D bombshell was dat I was called out nd all my mate were like yes, I jux sat down nd they came to remove me from dat chair, I jux stood b4 d audience nd later returned back to my seat. I felt special thous but was also embarrassed abit 2 Likes |

queency11: I can actually relate to this scenario. The thing is that many introverts out there are great dancers but are unable to display their dancing prowess in social gatherings except in their room when they are alone reason because they are not comfortable with the idea of bunch of people watching them while they dance. The way out of this is to first of all get use to/comfortable dancing in social gathering by taking things slowly. You can start by just shaking your head and thereafter graduate to moving your body, waist and so on. You will be astonish at the end of the day how great dancer you are and the exhilarating feeling that comes with it . Introversion does not limit. 2 Likes |

akins56: Do you day dream while walking especially on long distance? |
Re: Introverts Lounge (Extroverts Pls Keep Off !!) by Olarewajub: 9:08am On Jul 30, 2016 |
Yteflon: Most introvert can behave like extrovert in certain situations like being out going but the thing is that they usually go back to their shell to recharge themselves and i believe this is what you're experiencing. Get extremely comfortable with two persons and you you'll eventually find yourself being comfortable with 3, 4,5,...... until you become a public speaker. Take things slowly. Standing and talking with ladies is quite easy if you are familiar with them, but for total strangers this a very big task for introverts. Sometimes we need to allow things take place spontaneously. If the lady you're having a discuss observe you're an introvert, she will make things easy for you. Please share with us your experience in a Introvert-introvert relationship and if you don't mind, how both of you entered into a relationship. Did you woo her? |

bfn1: Congratulation Bro, you're going to cherish this experience for the rest of your life. The little encouragement i have for you is to overly prepare which i can see you are currently working on and remember nobody in that room on Monday wants you to fail. Please do well to share your experience with us after your presentation. Goodluck. |

No one replied dis question? Would still like to know though. How do u recognize an introvert when u see or meet one? |
Re: Introverts Lounge (Extroverts Pls Keep Off !!) by Nobody: 8:51pm On Jul 31, 2016 |
ganie: Being introverted doesn't really mean one is shy, its just that we prefer to be left alone from time to time so we can enjoy everything our wild imaginations presents to us...... Most times people misinterprete the silence of an Intro to be shyness, but thats wrong, we're only studying you without you knowing it chuksp09: The individuals behaviour when meeting a total stranger, especially if its the opposite sex |

queency11:Something similar happened during a cultural day in sec school when we were expected to dance.I had always dreaded that day and it would turn out to be one of the most embarassing days of my life.My fight/flight/freeze response was activated when I was called to dance, and I think my body opted for freeze because my muscles became so stiff that I couldn't move. |

GREAT INTROVERTS!!!! GREAT!!!!! abeg i get 1 small problem....i know this is the wrong place cos your all like moi..... OK, here goes...... I've spent a week in my uncle's house and many babes don eye me, me self don eye dem (its not that am that handsome ooo *but i gat that swag that only introverts have '..... you know that silent swag when you walking down the street alone with your ear piece plugged in, talking to no one just strolling with your shoulders high? you know that feeling right?... ok., so this evening i went to a barber's shop close by to charge my phone(well am cool with the guys there even though we don't talk much) then suddenly this hot mamacita walked in and i was like "WOAH HOLLUP" then she sat close to me and i was sighting her fwesh thighs man, her skirt was riding high an she wasn't making efforts to cover up. I noticed she looked like one of the guys there *the guy is slightly older than i am*,......mahn, that was how we started tapping current from each other (you know that mood when the both are digging each other but no one can speak up) so i was busy stealing glances and caught her doing the same. I was strategising on how to chat her up and she was busy helping me check my phone and she'll tell me to help her check hers even when it was beside my phone (girls ehn ) due to the fact that some of my tight goons have been yabbing me for not being able to walk up to a babe , i decided to chop small lion liver and try it for the first time, so the conversation went thus:..... ME: is DAT ur twin brother *pointing to the guy i mentioned earlier* (i know its a lame pickup line abeg no laff 2 much) HER: No.... do we look alike? ME: yes ....so he is your younger brother? HER: yes (abeg see me see trouble ooo...that her younger brother is older than me oo) well i think the liver i ate failed me so i paused for some minutes thinking of how to start another convo.... *pls why is it so hard for intros to start and maintain convos ....am a poor conversationist so you've gotta be really interesting and talkative to get me to talk much* for now only 1 of my cousins and my squad can make me an "extrovert of the moment" where i get extra hyper and people will think I'm so outgoing, well pray you neva meet me in my intro times (which is everytime tho ) ... aiit back to the gist.... well i was still left with a little of the lion's liver i ate , so i tried again... : *tappin her* ME: where do you stay? HER: is there any problem? *GBAMGADADA!!!* #mehn that question hit me like a rock, even tho she said it politely, well i think you know what happened to the remaining liver right?...well if you dont ....IT FLED !!!!! I just managed to say a weak NO... then she told me she stays at the next street but i was too destabilized to continue a.k.a liver fail me... but am sure she didnt notice i was nervous.. cos i am like a duck i keep a very calm surface but underneath am in a crazy struggle.... i can hide feelings perfectly and have this cool front even when i aint feeling the slightest chill... so back to the girl... we spent the rest of the evening sitting very close to each other but in silence even tho we were still tapping current okay abeg what should i do now if i eventually get to know her house what will i say ... peeps abeg drop ur opinions abeg i want to start the ultimate search tomorrow how will i start the Convo and what will i tell her? thanks in advance to the senior intros in the hous |

Olarewajub: Great one here. I'm just reading the post as I've been away for work. The article is well structured. Quite detailed too. One thing you could add to 'preparation' is that it actually helps to increase confidence. When a speaker is well prepared, he/she literally increases confidence through mastery of the topic. Confidence indirectly helps to overcome shyness and/or panics and fear. 1 Like |

Olarewajub:Thanks for the encouragement. The first few minutes were quite unnerving for your boy. Lol. My arms & legs were moving of their own accord. Then, I grew into it as the session progressed. Afterwards, the commendations started pouring in making me feel more exposed & muddled up. It was a great experience but I don't look forward to doing a repeat anytime soon. 1 Like |
