Bahddo:you could be a strong introvert and yet not "socially deficient personality", do some research about this and get more enlightened. I have gone round some strong public personality in this nation who you won't dare imagine are die hard intros,! I can count them ,some are even very close pals.with the level of work of life I have attained (by the mercies of God), you can hardly know I qm an introvert unless you come pretty close with succinct observation.I have over come that socially deficient stage of life , I can now relate, counsel, teach, educate and lead a large crowd of various people who God sends my way per time per time. That you see your neibor coming on the same lane with you and you choose to take another path just to ignore him /her, or you pass through the middle of elders sitting in your fathers compound and you choose to pass in between them and ignore them simply because "you are an introvert"! is that a reason ? introverts are not supposed to be socially deficient in the society , they Are educated and sociable too, very mature in character and can cope with others with 'excessive attitudes ".I am a public speaker, a counselor, but I am also very skewed to the introvert axis of life , I have chosen to get better daily, help others realise their God ordained plans for themselves (wether an intro or qn extro).we all (introverts ) must understand that life doesn't just revolve round US alone, we need to give out love if we desired to beloved too 4 Likes |

Guys in the house please help me, I think I am getting depressed and I fear I have developed sociopathic tendencies. First off, my introversion levels are super high (like a 95% out of 100), so basically I talked only to people in my inner circle. Then comes a tragic event which just sucks the air outta me, and I just basically lie in bed for days thinking about life, purpose and watching series all day while studies and school keep declining. I actually succeeded in shutting out everybody even to the point of removing all my data online, having many sim cards to avoid calls. I actually also find myself fantasizing about being a serial killer, thinking about life being meaningless and all that. I would appreciate if anyone could help me out with online therapy sites. Also,This is a new moniker. |

Introverts should look out for one another. Like when you see loud people picking on an introvert in your vicinity, its a good idea to stand up for them. Introverts also don't like talking to strangers. Which is partly why we created Lara.ng When you are on the street and you need to find your way to a place you don't know, it seems the best way is to ask the conductor on the bus, or the stranger on the street. Well not anymore. Now you can just visit http://lara.ng - get all the directions you need straight from your phone. That's my gift to the introvert community. Please share with others too. Introverts unite! |

LeiderJa: Hello LeiderJa, I sincerely doubt your depression is the cause of your sociopathic fantasy. Depression may make you want to hurt yourself but not going after others. Perhaps that tragic event that spiralled you into the depression (unhelped by your introversion too, of course) may be the trigger of the fantasy as well. You see, depression can be a very tough opponent so the earlier you create a consciousness to fight it, the better for you. And trust me, shutting out people won't make things any better - you need some few trustworthy/reliable friends and family who will help you get through this. You need to come to terms with that tragic event. I think it's the chief issue. It may be uneasy but talk about it to a trusted person and unburden yourself of it. That way, you'll gradually find yourself again. As for the online therapy you mentioned, there are quite a few free ones you can join and then exchange messages with people who know a thing or two about what you're going through. Just google "free online therapy" and you'll see them. All the best! |

Dani4tech: That's somewhat normal for a number of young adults. Don't see your difficulty starting conversations with the opposite sex as a problem. It isn't. It's just something you'll have to grow out of. It may be easier for extroverted people but may take introverts a while to blend. Practice makes perfect. As I advice people, just start by developing conversations with people who are inclined to answer (waitresses, security personnel, attendants e.t.c.). Ask that pretty mall attendant what she thinks about your choice of beverage/perfume and her opinion on an alternative product. Tell that stunning bank teller about the weather outside and ask her if the crowd in the bank hasn't been overwhelming for her. However, never overdo it. The point is to get comfortable around the opposite sex not make friends or disturb their work. In a matter of time, you'll feel more comfortable making conversations with just anyone - lady or guy. Also, try to make yourself comfortable enough. If you feel your spoken English isn't good enough, improve on it. Appearance also affect self-confidence, so try to be comfortable in that regard. The whole point is to increase your confidence so nothing changeable within your power should impede your effort. 6 Likes |

LeiderJa: There is something I also observed over the years about fantasies and introverts. It seems some of us would rather do a lot of wishful thinking instead of acting it out in a real world. The fact is, this is actually not healthy for the mind. So what I do is, once I am thinking over something too much or overthinking, I would just do it or say it and let it go. 1 Like |

Hi guys. Just stumbled on this thread. My personality type is called intuitive introversion. I see it as a strength than a weakness because it enables me think up great solutions and stuff. On a side note I think it might be necessary for introverts to once in a while get out of their comfort zones and interact with other folks. Hey, the whole aim of life is self development, growth not perfection. 6 Likes |

iamcy:you say once in a while bro?, thats not enough , the more you grow in life , the more you should be getting over that introverted nature , remember you gonna get married and have kids, they will want an open father and mother, they will always want to hear and learn from you. what about the work place ? your fulltime introverted character won't help u much either, you can't talk freely and associate wIth your colleagues , relate well with customers and do good market promotion for your business (ALL IN THE NAME OF BEEN AN INTROVERT) ?, that's not cool , life doesn't revolve round you alone, (talking about us introverts generally please ) we have to understand the rule of life and play along them well, we ought to know when to stick out and lend a helping hand and show someone we care in our own little way, then can posterity judge US truly social sincere and faithful with our God given talents .Sometimes ago, I walked to a nearby hospital and talked with the doctor if he could allow me pray with all the patients in his hospital? he looked at me and was so surprised! here was me a die hard introvert who can hardy look up someone in the eyes! I had to summone courage as I was been led by my master . 1 Like |

Giel:u really missed this one sis, the bottom line of my write up is this ; life doesn't revolve round you alone, others need share in your person, try opening up and return love to those showing u green light of love . shutting them out makes your matter more complex.even at an age of about 50 to 60, an introvert can still be picked out, you hardly out grow such rare gifted quality, you go all the way with it.my very honored father in the lord is about 60yrs of age I relate with him to be a very introverted person, you have to come close to notice that temperament in him(signifying that he gradually outgrew lots of the introverted signs in him), though he is a bishop leader in one of the very biggest Christian gathering on earth today. 1 Like |
