If you had a high intellectual capacity,you should know that astrologers existed during the biblical times and were seen as wiser that most people. If you were also intelligent as you claim you should not argue about a topic you clearly know nothing about but because of religious sentiments you say it is false. Not everyone is a Christian. Astrology has been proven by people in real life situations so just saying it is shit doesn't make it shit. Keep your beliefs, let others keep theirs. I don't see how astrology is a sin or affects anyone negatively.

Astrology having existed since pre-historic times does not negate the fact that it is nothing but a pseudoscience. Astrology is a bunch of ancient nonsense and superstition which cannot stand the rigors of scientific inquiry. If you are a staunch believer of astrology in this age of science, then I daresay you're a superstitious bunch and a superstitious fellow is a fellow with low intellect, so there you go.

This doesn't have anything to do with Christianity. If you can show me one example of your personal reading that came to pass, then be prepared for me to present to you thousands of your personal reading that never came to pass. Wisdom is profitable my brother, learn to court wisdom.

Infact, wisdom fall on you.

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.

Maybe your introvert life was boring. I have no desire to change my introverted life. I have zero interest in fitting in. Trust me, I enjoy so hard!

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.

Oh boy this is just me, i think the only person who understands me is my mom.
I really wish to be extrovert but no way

Difficult to associate with others, just like being alone

Well for me, being introverted is quite challanging. But because we live in an extroverted society(schooling in groups, teachers and parents hating the quiet kids, even religion too is extroverted, you have to be in groups and stuff, work too) I have tried to adapt and act like an extrovert at times. But it's not working. It exausts all my energy.

Being introverted is at times like a punishment and other times a blessing. I strugle to sustain human relationships. I'm just not good at it. Starting one, keeping it going, nothing!
I'm not too good a speaker, but I prefer writing. I prefer to text than call. I have problems with socializing that's one of the reasons I have so little friends. I don't even have guts to approach any random girl. I like quiet and solitude. I overthink. I'm still a smart person so I over analyse and think too much about little details. People say I'm weird(esp ladies). They say I go on and off. I'm just some complic piece of shit.
Most times being an introvert makes me sad especially when I miss out on some opportunities(asking that girl out and stuff).
But I've accepted myself as I am. Being introvert is not a curse, it's a blessing in its own little way.

Bill383:
To those who called themselves Introvert, Answer this question please.
Would you correct your boss if he/she is making mistake?

I don't know if i'm an introvert or not but i can relate with most of what has been written on this thread.









So, to the question :: well it depends on my boss. If he's someone who takes correction in a wrong way i.e gets angry when corrected, i would gladly keep my mouth shut if it won't affect me, otherwise(if he's an humble person) I would correct him in a polite way.

My boyfriend/husband must be an extrovert. I Can't continue living in a shell. I need to explore the world and see it in all dimensions and perspectives. Introverts tend to view the world from only one point of view- loud, scary, discomforting and unnerving when in actual fact there's more to it. There's the good, exciting, dynamic and interesting part of it. I want to see life and people this way.
Although I can't help but just think of how amazing it would be if I end up with someone that's just like me. Where we don't need to have conversations, there'd be comfort in our silences, we'd spend long hours indoors doing introvert things. where we could spend long hours together without saying a word but understanding each other's thought perfectly well, where we'd decline every invitation to attend whatever event because we'd rather stay home and read a good book or just enjoy the comfort of being secluded . Where we'd not really have any friends because we are more than enough company for each other. Who else can relate?

introvert generally ain't attracted to introverts, its almost like a rule, am introvert,its the people I see as stupid or loud, am attracted too at first sight,duo after awhile I better find abit intelligence in them, or something that makes them special, if not I would get bored,and ditch them. I call it brain mapping when have fully understood a person, who previously I find different or intriguing.

if yhu find an introvert like yhur self, yhull probably go extroverted around that person, there are no two introvert in a room,except they don't know each other very well.

Same here..

I don't know if I have always been an introvert but as I can remember I have been one from my secondary school days.
I don't like being an introvert or extrovert, I prefer being in between that way I can explore both side of the world.
I love to have fun but not with crowd. I love traveling seeing new places. exploring the world at large.
I love creativity that why I am building my career in design and network security.
being an introvert is hard especially in a world that can't stop talking. so am doing everything, step by step to overcome it's challenge especial those that would stop me from achieving my goals and enjoying the abundance of this world.
my present challenge is speaking with people am not familiar with. Also waking up in the morning and facing the world.

my only challenge as an introvert would be scarring people off, I have a potential to always do that, people fear what they don't understand.

other than that am pretty kool with been introverted, it comes with many benefits especially intellectually.

and ooh, I find anyone I truly like, after awhile of been able to predict them,getting use to their personality, knowing their flaws especially I would just get bored, I see people like things, like chess pieces in my life, yhur either serving a specific function or yhur out.

every other thing about been an introvert I enjoy,especially the eternal mystery.

Wow, introvert full nairaland.I love been alone, I love to keep secret.love my quiet moment, think more, less friends and my friends are introverts,hard to trust people.talk when given a reason, have a job, married to my sweetheart and with kids.But known of my children is introvert. My wife is extrovert.

ORIJIN201:
Being an introvert unfortunately, never make friends except we have something in common or have thesame area of interest like being in thesame department in school or we are fans of the same soccer team.
I used to be afraid of rejection, but after being rejected by 2 girls, now I can handle it.
To be honest this world and it's people can be very unforgiving.
To be able to suppress my true nature I chose to be humorous when am in school although I have a good sense of humor, I want pple around me to have a good laugh and enjoy their selves when am around. But I don't get close enough for you to know me, I only let you know what I want you to know. Where am living its more than a year now I don't have any friends. So its a diff. Scenario when am home just me and my self in my playing game on my laptop or doing something else or am here on nairaland.
I have just been rejected by a girl I really like a lot, been trying a lot to let her see I have good intentions. Was talking to her today in the middle of a convo she just told me to keep quiet tried to say a word again she told me to keep shut lol, didn't say anything till I left (we were walking together in a pack) it was quite embarrassing. Didn't say anything to her she felt guilty and kept looking at me all through till I left. Because I told her my feelings she just misbehaves and feels she is entitled to do anything she likes, but guess what I will leave it to her, there are other girls out there.

Now that's brutal. That girl is savage. I wonder why you'd have the hots for such a girl in the first place.

You seem to to have the highest record of rejection from girls tho, I wonder why they don't fancy you.

There's no such thing as being a former introvert. You probably didn't have the enabling environment or you had some personality flaws that you've now worked on.
Any one who claims to be an introvert and wishes to change is probably shy. Shyness is often mistaken for being introverted. As an introvert, you savour your solitude cause it's the only thing that makes sense to you. It doesn't mean your life is boring, you just have fun in ways different from others.

Neyoor:



Wow! I can relate with most of this. I'm allergic to parties even if I'm forced to attend, I will just sit at a corner observing everyone yet, hiding my eyes from meeting someone else's own. I don't know how to keep friends, maximum of 3 months, I would be bored and tired, that their calls won't even move me. I don't miss people. Highly emotional and I trust people even at first sight.

I can relate to this, I hate calls and I don't miss people at all.

Raiyell:


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.

Do you know the American nation was built on astrology? No stone was left unturned in the actualization of the free state. Not like this part of the world where things are done at random.

Everything in Washington dc is aligned astrologically. So when they remain world power there is a backing.

Daily horoscopes are just bull. Learning abt urself as a sign is where the knowledge is. No one can predict your future. Only you can and astrology helps you understand the main player in that future YOU.

When you understand you, understanding ppl will be easy and you will be wise in ur dealings with ppl even your spouse. Try it and you will see what i am saying.

Heterodox:
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.

Even at home sometimes my mum accuse me of not opening up, that i always keep to myself

Imagine they helped craft d introverted nature deeper into my system
Very foolishly strict parents
Let's stop here for now

1.Before talking with people.. I play scenerios in my head
2. I'm my own best company
3. Silence is never boring
4. I don't know how to make friends... And the few i have... Most times, i never know what to say to them
5… i am addicted to novels and i always have one with me.. Incase i have to be in any awkward place.
6. Atimes when i notive someone trying to talk with me.. I pretend to answer calls on my fone rather than talk..... I'm not trying to be rude... But most times.. I just panic... For no known cause.
7. I break a sweat when I'm the centre of attraction.
8. I hate birthday parties... Especially mine because of no. 7.
EtC...

I am working on my self but is very difficult for me i have never had a girlfriend,i like partying and drinking alcohol because of my nature but it doesn't seem to be really helping. I am dying I need help plz.

just 2 yet.
The 1st is unsure while this one seems immature to me.
Me keeping quite after telling me to made her look silly. She couldn't even face me in school today. My silence will deal with her

Schizoid is a disorder. Use google. If at all you really don't know the meaning.

Check your dictionary for the meaning of girlfriend and compare it to reality.

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

You are so on point dear, we share the same attributes

I love being alone. I don't like to call rather prefers to chat -even family members but av got love.am simply just a lone& bore being nevertheless I love a friendly environment.
