vikel2104: The thing that baffle me is that an introvert tends to understand people but yet they're the most misunderstood. I tend to sense peoples' feelings but when it comes to me, they don't even care to know. Another thing is that an introvert tends to understand and get clues quickly. So it pisses me off sometimes when people cannot understand seemingly simple things. I guess it has to do with our ability to think deeply. I prefer thought-provoking discussions rather than empty chatter. That's why some people cannot discuss with me because i don't like shallow talk and that's what most people engage in. Let's just say I love depth in everything I do. I love to ask the question 'why?' before I do things but people would prefer that I go with the flow and just do what everyone is doing. I have a way of revealing myself to people depending on who it is. If I meet a total stranger who I'm most likely never going to see again, I could chat and act like an extrovert. But if I'm most likely going to be seeing the person often, I show them my real introverted self with the mind that with time they'll see that that is how I am and those who accept me will finally make friends with me. Over the years I've come to be able to talk in front of people but I'm still not very comfortable when it's impromptu. If I'm told to teach something, I go the extra mile to make sure you undertand because I don't like the thought that i've wasted my time, my precious time. Staying indoors? Oh there is nothing as blissful as my 'me time' I hate noise more than anything. (sorry for the long unparagraphed post. But being an introvert I know you had the patience to read through it)Your just like me. |

Finally found a lounge. I jst enjoy being an introvert cos not evry1 will approach u, most pple will be trying so hard to start up a conversation wt u, and they will always be happy If u talk to them. I jst found out that pple give me some respect cos am always minding my business at times people mistake that as being a snub and proud.and some others see it as being responsible. I find it difficult to go out, I have few faithful friends and am ok with them. I prefer staying indoors reading novels, browsing and writing in my journal. Even to go out on a date na war somtimes. To be honest atimes it can be so frustrating.[/b] 3 Likes |

Interesting thread. It's really cool to meet up with like-minded people... An introverts party wouldn't be a bad idea after all...lol As for my experience, I've come to understand myself better and I'm so proud of myself and glad that God made me in such a unique way. During my secondary school days I found it really hard to make friends or even approach people. My social life was literally nonexistent and occasionally I cried as I thought there was something wrong with me. It was a miserable period of my life and was quite depressing. I started reading books to find out why I was like that and learnt so much that really boosted my self-confidence. Ever since then I've been able to make the best of my personality. I challenge my self sometimes to do things that I naturally wouldn't e.g initiating conversations, especially with girls..etc To those who still find it as a big challenge, I'll advise you just accept your personality and the fact that you're special.

Being an introvert makes me see a lot f things from different perspective because since I hardly talk,I observe,analyse and think before I say anything. I love my bed,I love spending time with myself. My people have stopped trying to get me out of my shell. I can be indoors for weeks I don't mind,give me a phone and good books then I'm good to go. I hardly make friends even when I do,I don't know how to keep in touch so the friendship dies off. Except the conversation is meaningful count me out. I love being an introvert but when you really get to know me I could be fun for a few minutes. 5 Likes |

I used to be an extrovert and somehow, I started withdrawing to myself till I got to this point. Sometimes I wish I could do without people. Really working to improve though. Finding it hard, but just trying. 2 Likes |

pappyrose:Can relate with that. Sometimes I guess there's a transition point between being introvert and extrovert in a person's life. My mum usually says if anyone told her I'd be this calm, she wouldn't have ever believed. As a child I was definition of extrovert and a real noise and trouble maker. Lol. I know something is usually responsible for this transition, but I wonder what it is. Ultimately, I'm glad I made the switch cos I love who I am now |
