Your have some issues
1 you haven't gotten over your rejection fear fully. Somehow you still think it matters
2 you're trying too much to impress her
3 this "I want everyone around me to have fun" mentality is a common excuse to really show that they are insecure and seek the approval of others. Sometimes if they think they're funny they fell people will like them and won't get rejected which is exactly what your doing.
4 there's a common phrase in psychology that goes " what you do in one thing shows in every other thing" so if your out there trying to impress everyone and be humorous, that mindset is going to show in everything you do. That's why that girl is acting that way is here she's you're trying to hard to impress her instead of not giving a fûck
woke up this morning saw a msg, it was her apologizing. Now I have made up my mind to be who I am and probably not giving a fvck too (As I used to). I will be very unusual. Have taken your points into account. wink

I don't do anything social, no Facebook, no WhatsApp, no twitter no shite like that, I don't have peoples contact, if u give me I forget to save it, or even if I do I would delete of as soon as I am done with u, I hide my number when calling people excluding guys.

My c zone is my house, my room on the left side of my bed, lie there to dish out simple replies on NL, NL is the only social stuff I do. Other than that I am playing game or watching a movie, and yeah my house is highly classified, only 2 of my friends know my house, they are guys again. They are also august visitors.

As for relationship, yeah it like a complicated stuff to me, I would prefer to also date an introvert to. I enjoy peace.

Staying out for too long takes its toll on my mind, it is often bad.

I'm happy being one.
my nigga my nigga!!!!......you just described me mehn.....introvert forever!!

Just like most of us, I don't like crowd, social events and all that

Chai, I couldn't open up to my crush for a solid 5 years during University days. I still regret it till date because she did everything a girl could have done to get a guy's attention but I kept thinking too much instead of acting

Other times, when it comes to girls, I might like you, call you often but sometimes I might not remember you for days, not that I have an issue with you but just that being meditative drifts my mind to a whole lot of things

And when I care, I really care....sometimes I try to force myself not to show it to avoid being taken for granted

I'm getting better at communicating with people sha over time now

Its a world which gives me inner peace in one second and in another second, I feel why am I like this

lol @bolded.. Buh truthfully, introverts can't keep friends no matter how they try.. I don't even know how to talk to people on phone.. I hardly pick calls. Damn.. Buh have worked on myself and things are better now and i believe you can do that too.. And maybe you don't even need to stress yourself buh pray to God instead and let Him bring your husband to you instead. You don't have to strive with God. Husband will come looking for you..

Extremely introverted. You can only begin to imagine what's like unable to express emotion in every way. Some people just think I am a robot of some kind. However, when it comes to advice, maturity and friendships, we still prove valuable owing to the high level of IQ we posses. I think the same thing goes for introverts as well.

But it has cost me alot, I have missed opportunities, words I'll rehearse :Din my head, but wouldn't be able to say it out, memories i couldn't gain....I wouldn't want any of my child to be one.....

But i love them because THEY CARE, THEY CARE MORE THAN THEY SHOULD.....i give them A1 When it comes to taking care of others, even if they don't like you.....

You will have to manage it by expressing those thoughts in writing. Write about what you think about. As a schizoid, which entails an extreme level of critical thinking, over usage of the mind, I still don't get depressed. Neither do I know what's that's look. If schizoids can manage their minds, then why not an introvert.

Being an introvert comes with some down sides, as an introvert I have my own challenges or should I call it excesses lol.
I miss my chances on getting that pretty crush of mine, I fear rejection and I am yet to device a means of handling such when it occurs, even though when the green light is at its peak.
Another one is that I find it hard to maintain closer relationship with people, they complain I don't call them, truth is I prefer texting instead.
Share yours too lets know ourselves better.

The thing is, in this part of the world, people just don't understand us or don't want to. Similarly, i don't make the most phone calls or visits and frnds and family want to believe am avoiding them for that. And whats the big deal, telling them you're am introvert? As well, i don't have or believe in Best Frnds, feels cold when i approach a lady to express my feelings to, i rather take style and do it on phone than face it head on lolz. We need to be understood, its funny to note that many relationship are broken simply because there is a halt in phone calls from the either of the partners. Lets get to understand our temperament in a relationship, that way it will wax stronger.

You have got confidence, you only fail to see it. You not touching a woman is characteristic for a schizoid. I am saying you may just be more than an introvert.

Hmmm
I hate going out
Sometimes I go out alone as it's inevitable, if u see me walking seems I just learnt how to walk , buh it's all cool

If I must I tag some1 along
About gals I seem to notice d ones dat like me early
And I suddenly become an extrovert
I like my privacy
I hate calls, it's like they are disturbing me
I rarely call that's a reason my last relationship didn't work
I think a lot , cos am always alone
If I dnt know u am dumb
Buh if we have built dat level of friendship, and u have to b damn persistent
Am a talkative
And even at dat I avoid pple a lot
My phone is my greatest companion
Being introverted has its own perks
Buh u dnt need to b told am an introvert

I have a lot of challenges. Because of my introverted nature I didn't enjoy school life like i was supposed to. For the past 4 years all i had were crushed who never knew I crushed on them. To start conversation na wahala especially with the opposite sex. Now I'm leaving school soon with no sense of achievement except in my academics . Even to relate with my family na wahala.I enjoy solitude. I even relate with friends more...and it's the reason why I've been single for the past 4 years while all my friends have babes. The struggle is real

Introverts are the coolest people on earth.
1. They hardly OFFEND others.
2. They are very NICE people.
3. They make great INVENTORS in life, they are usually very intelligent.
4. They take calculative decisions though SLOWLY smiley
5. Their quiet nature makes them talk less and SIN less.
6. They keep few friends but are always FAITHFUL friends you can always rely on for help, etc.
7. They give loans or are owed almost for life since they find it difficult to ask for their money back. Lol!
8. Their strength lies in Reading and writing hence their are almost always book worms.
9. Their EXCITEMENT is shirt lived and people take them for sadists. But in reality, they enjoy life as SPECTATORS and would not want to be in the spotlight.
10. In relationships they are actually boring (not all) but if you understand them you will know how to get them to talk.
11. They are commonly PHLEGMATIC and MELANCHOLIC. Now can I talk to you my fellow Introvert,
You may be misunderstood for being MOODY or keeping MALICE, don't give a damn, God knows who you are.
Don't try to explain why you are who you are.
Can I tell you? you a unique person who God has packaged perfectly. You will marry your partner, don't worry about that.
You may not be sociable but that is a strength in disguise.
You are a great personality!

God bless y'all introverts. I love you!!!

A friend once called me a Sadist because he said something and I was indifferent about it. Then he was like... "Sadist mani eleyii". I was shocked as Bleep. All I could do was undecided.. But I still believe he doesn't know what a "Sadist" means cos I'm definitely not one. That's me basically being me and those people finds it hard to accept. I'm actually now an ambivert but like 80% on the introvert side of it

Used to be intro when I was younger and it did have its consequences. These days I try to be a lot more outgoing(when I need to be), dont know if its cos I'm older, but I determined that I wouldn't let my shyness and quietness keep me from what I need to do.

Friendship is still overrated to me anyway. Still prefer being by myself most times, friends usually turn out quite disappointing.
