This life is too short to start living a boring life. You all can't deny the fact that every introverted person had in some point in their lives wanted to be an extrovert.

Introvert life is boring abeg.

Advice :Like I said this life is too short to start living a boring introverted life, enjoy the little time you have on earth

Ps:I was once an introvert.

Staying out for long makes me unhappy..
Going out can be so frustrating, annoying, let's just stay at home Eat popcorn and watch movies, wetin i wan use cinema do ....

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.....


Introverts don't mind staying in another planet where they can be aliens, the world seems too populated to them
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.....


Tell an introvert your secret, it's save for life,they barely have time to gossip
Commonly used word :I DON'T KNOW

Damn! you just summarize me like you're my mom.... damn! especially the *I DON'T KNOW* part..... you got me

I don't even know what to comment.
Always been myself. When I see guys gisting for hours, I do wonder wetin den dey talk.
No friends, just in my lonely world.
Honestly, introvert is a big disease.

CountCarter:
I'm an introvert but at the same time a highly functioning sociopath, not in a bad way to say. I tend to approach people only when i require something of essence from them and after that, i vanish into thin air. Being an introvert, relationships do not excite me, because of too many logical reasoning pertaining to the possible outcome of a relationship. Put me in the midst of people and i would become highly uncomfortable.

Too much mentalist abi

Raiyell:


Friendships: It's complicated because you haven't met friends who are interested in the things that you are interested in. Perhaps, you love highly intellectual discussions and the people you meet are plain Janes and dull Bobs. That would influence your willingness to engage in discourses with them or form long lasting friendships. A person of your personality can have friends but it is mostly people who can keep you on your toes intellectually. People who can understand the obscure (but to you: obvious) references you make. People who have mastery over a diverse number of topics. For you, a normal conversation can range from economics to philosophy to how Europe underdeveloped Africa.

Calling: Yeah, a lot of folks have poor phone etiquette. Sometimes, I'm like: why is he speaking pidgin? arrg, lord. Or, why is he cutting me off. Makes me not want to pick up phone calls sef. Also there those set of highly emotional people (my sisters) who want to know how you are doing everyday. Makes me mad.

Indoors: Yay! Lol, I guess people of an introverted/reserved personality do not really need the heavy bustle of the outdoors to feel that they are living life. For them, it's important to have extended periods of quiet or lonesomeness in order to be in touch with their true selves.

I don't know, all I've shared is from my personal experience.

Just wanted to chime in.

How are you?

Oh goodness!
Do you know me from somewhere? ??
That's exactly the case, they just discuss plain topics to me...making it difficult to keep up with conversations.
Wow....thought I was alone in this.




Am great...
How do you do?

hinky:


Why do we find it hard to keep friends?? like i lose friends almost every month... Nd they b lyk m complicated

I lose mine every week... calling is like a suicide mission to me... even my relatives.. I find it almost impossible visiting...
sometimes I just hate myself for that, no matter how hard I tried I just simply can't.

Cleopatra4:

I will freak out I swear

Thats the point.

paybak:
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..

on point dear

I think am also an introvert but I have worked on mine considerably but I still find it difficult addressing public. am working on that anyways but I guess been a chronic introvert have its down sides

Cleopatra4:

Yeah...
I feel we attract d opposite of us.
Don't like crowd.
Can't stand a noisy environment likewise lousy people..
Just prefer staying at home when I'm not busy..
Sometimes I wonder if na like this I go take see husband

Leme see what we can work on

Raiyell:


Leo what? Leonard? Leonine? Leotard? Oh, you mean that shit called horoscopes?

Better grow up

Are you grown up? I highly doubt that cos if you are you won't sound like this.
If you don't know something learn and make good research before you reveal your ignorance

hinky:

sprinkle yourself with holy water to check if you are possessed.

Can someone help me how I can express my feelings verbally to her, as an introvert I can't convince her and it prompted her to say we should remain casual friends then moved to NEXT level.... Any introvert girl in owerri for serious relationship pm me dearest

always afraid of making friends always thinking of the end results of making friends

lol. Husband go come. Trust me.

To those who called themselves Introvert, Answer this question please.
Would you correct your boss if he/she is making mistake?

My own type words can't explain it,staying indoors I enjoy but it Saddens my heart too when I see how far the other ones(extroverts) had gone...my brain sometimes works like an electric switch-what I like this minute,I dislike the next minute. Every week I get airtime bonuses recharging my line,yet I don't make call with it until they expire .Sadly my friends on facebook didn't even bother wishing me a happy birthday which I just celebrated recently cos they thought I don't care about them.Kaai. life seemed really hard for an introvert like me.

How do you do?

Lol... I could I identify your pain points because all my life, that is what I have been going through. When it comes to friendships, an uncle whom I idolize made me realize that I was an "intellectual snob", meaning that I only relate with people who can match me pound for pound in my interests which happen to be quite obscure. Not that I deliberately choose obscure interests, rather, the things that excite me are a turn off to majority of people in my sphere.

Same uncle then advised me to fake it -- learn how to relate with everyone, and on everything in order to give them a sense of access to me because you know... no man is an island. If I continually rebuff people's attempt to connect with me, they will soon feel slighted and leave me alone. Meaning that the days when I actually need help, there might be no one around me to raise me up. So, these days, I try to relate with everyone who makes an attempt, feign interest in the things they like etc... let me not lie, it's actually exhausting but I've gotten better at faking it.

Don't know why I'm spilling all but the essence of what I am trying to say is: sometimes, you have to indulge those people and their boring topics or you may alienate people who really do care for you.

Soldier on dear. Noisy people are the most visible in the world, however, the power of quiet is what has brought civilization to it's current height. Take pride in your makeup as a quiet person because internal self-sufficiency -- not needing the outside world to feel good -- is a thing that the noisy ones amongst us will never experience.

Too much mentalist abi

I'm a realist, i always try to think of every possible outcome of whatever i venture into. Always making sure there's a backup plan to fall on in case if the end result of whatever I've ventured into doesn't benefit me. But a mentalist, i ain't.

MisterKings:

Lol, I can only imagine the amount of ignorance you live your daily life with.

Astrology is not a science although it makes plenty effort to come off as one. Astrology claims to be a science yet its methodology cannot stand the rigors of close inquiry.

The whole system of astrology is based on a slew of ancient nonsense, myth and superstition, not on logic, evidence, experimentation, observation, or any other scientific method. Hence, my dear brother, that thing you lay so much stock on is nothing but an elaborate pseudoscience.


Your stock horoscope (or “reading”) may prove to be correct, but it is just as likely it’s even more likely to prove incorrect. When it does prove incorrect, purveyors of astronomy always ready with answers as to why. Tell me which one of your daily horoscopes in Vanguard newspaper has ever come to pass? I laugh at you dear brother. I bawl at your ignorance.
