If you're well versed in a particular topic, then all you need to do is talk about it like you're teaching it. Most times, not having deep knowledge of a topic causes unnecessary problems.

You're Welcome. Did you take the test?, what did it come out as?

I just took another one after a very long time of not doing so....

I was banned this morning when I was about replying you.

My results

traware:
Never ever be too friendly with Nigerians.They'll just believe you're foolish and try to take advantage of you.I used to be shy,self-conscious and introverted in my teen years until I realized I was quite good at everything I did.Infact,better than everyone sef.Then I started feeling better about myself(confidence).Today,those days are nothing but a memory

I'm just getting to this stage . I've discovered that I'm better than most pple at everything. My confidence has been skyrocketing

Woah! never known an INFP before though, maybe because i'm not familiar with other personalities other than the general introvert, ambivert and extrovert. Would definitely look it up

This is me too. I have to admit the results described me pretty well.

Screenshots from THE SUBTLE ART OF NOT GIVING A F*CK.
I will admit that I may so buchan enjoying the book and more especially, this is about the first time I will witness someone using the F-word and I am not getting offended evnthough it is excessive used. It also seems to be the very first "big" book I have ever read... Though I am in-the-process-of, it it is most likely I will finish it.The writer seems to b a choleric that doesn't give a f*CK
He was right about many things though. One gets worried about an issue, one tends to be worried about the level of anxiety one is going through. Consequently, being worried about one's worries can lead to another worry on its own, and the chain reaction seems to be a stranger to oblivion, as it is never ending

okikiosibodu:

I love your moniker...... Are you a Geographer?

Thanks. Geologist (in the making).

Have you noticed that around Chpter 4 or 5, the f word usage decreases alot. This makes me think the usage was a marketing or shock value strategy.

Geofavor:
Thanks. Geologist (in the making).

Hehehehehehe. Quite synonymous to Geography. Otherwise study the earth, and both originated from Cosmology. But I respect you people a lot o. I once went to Geology dept during my undergraduate days, and I just decided to feed my eyes with the rock samples they had. I saw about 5 rock samples all looking the same to me, but they all had different labels on them. I just gave up on cramming any name. Geography all the way

I never reach there.... Ayam taking my time to read it. I don't want to get bored reading it. The writer seems to be a mean choleric that won't mind stepping on toes to get what he wants. But the wrote up is meant for people like me that care and worry TOO much. A replacement for "Don't give a f*ck" can be "Care less", or "Be less bothered". It's not meant for everyone though. People that are too docile or complacent should not try to read the book. I will update you as I progress with the book . Gracias

I love this book

Thank you for reading through the Typo error. I lack the patience of reading my writeups before posting. I am working on changing for good though

It's not a bad thing actually to struggle with stage fright. Sometimes you have so many people in the crowd who hate you, some who want to gauge and access your level of intelligence, some who want to praise and flatter you unnecessarily, (yes, some who even want to take advantage of you, if you know what I mean), and so on and so forth.

Although I will encourage you to try communicating face-to-face with people, I will not condemn you at all if you express yourself better in writing, or interacting via social media.

When I was in university, I struggled with stage fright, but now that I'm out of school and have "grown up a bit", I've found that it was more an advantage than a disadvantage. Many people think introversion is bad, but I say it's a priceless gift.

tnx bro

introverts in the house,how do you deal with insults from people who try to vex you for keeping quiet everytime and pressure from others to fit in? One annoying dude in in my computer school was telling a girl (who is also annoying) that I have a disease because I keep quiet everytime right in my presence (they said it in Yoruba).I wonder what they say when I'm not around

I feel you should ignore. This people are just looking for a way to get you to talk

Harodebby:
tnx bro

You are still very young, a lady too...It is only natural for u to experience these things regardless of being an introvert or extrovert.

Lolzzzzz
Sth u should have laughed off is what u re calling insult?
We introverts take irrelevant things so serious most times & it affects us alot.
I believe they were only trying to make u talk...u should have laughed it off & initiate a conversation from it sef...

hmmm we all do once a while, we struggle to keep the stage tight once we mount .No matter how bold one is , weather been an intro or extro, we get kinda gilltery once it is stage time so that's not strange,but we all are expected to gradually get over this as we keep at this practice.

Yes we are. But please, do not put her under unnecessary pressure.

Like I said earlier, it could be advantageous at her young age.

Anyways, I think it just might wear off naturally as she grows older and experiences more of this thing called life.

This is why I hate labels and have since stopped measuring myself by the introversion-extroversion scale.

What's most important is to gain wisdom as you go through life.

You know the book that the great presidents and great men of the world read to gain wisdom? It's the Bible.

Let me give you a few gems of what the Bible says about the use of our tongues:

Proverbs 17: 27-28, "Whoever restrains his words has knowledge, and he who has a gentle spirit is a man of understanding. Even a fool is considered wise when he keeps silent; when he closes his lips (when there is no need to talk), he is deemed intelligent.

Proverbs 12: 18-19, "There is one whose rash words are like sword thrusts, but the tongue of the wise brings healing. Truthful lips endure forever, but a lying tongue is but for a moment.

Proverbs 15:2, "The tongue of the wise uses knowledge rightly: but the mouth of fools pour out foolishness.

Proverbs 6: 23-24, "For the commandment is a lamp; and the law is light; and reproofs of instruction are the way of life: to keep thee from the evil woman, from the flattery of the tongue of a strange woman.

So don't worry bro. Let people call you all sorts of names - retarded, quiet, diseased, shy, bolo, and so on. In time, you'll realise how your quietness is a gift from God.

myca:


You are right to stop trying to fit in...it doesn't work, trust me. I did that for years but sadness and depression were my usual playmates each time I tried.

Introverts should stop trying to be what they are not. One need not be a social genius to succeed and live a very meaningful life. Not being very sociable doesn't mean one should become anti social.

You can be introverted and still relate well with people.

Myca, can you please pm me your whatsapp details?
