Hi everyone... I am an introvert and I love it more than I hate it. I have noticed that even the extroverts wish to keep me as a friend instead of their likes.
I also do not enjoy reading like that though I wish I do. Each time I rili try to read for long, I start having this terrible headache within just about 15 minutes. Don't know if it's a medical condition or not.
Overall, I am a very cool headed person .... I luv my life.

Date someone who's also an introvert and also shares same thought as you do, then together you guys can work it out .

So both of them can be "facing wall" and "pressing phones" all the time even when they're together? No nah... Even in the laws of science, unlike terms attract. Your world will be too boring if you are with someone like you who does and lives the same way over and again, exactly like you.

Date an opposite please! When you're too boring, they'll spice things up, when they're too crazy, you calm them down. You both make up for where you lack. It's called complementing.

I disagree...not all introverts are facing wall and pressing phones.. their are social and bold introverts abeg....and please who complement help abeg..so because someone is gentle he should marry a trouble maker to complement him or because a Lady is geeky ,she should get together with an olodo.....people should allign with who they can relate with

Am I the only one here that finds it really hard to take pictures? Even when my classmates or siblings are taking pics,I just find a way to excuse myself or I appear in like 2 out of 50 pics they take. Is this common with other introverts or am I just weird?

So just felt like updating this , been a while i have posted as usual I am an introvert, majority of my time is spent indoors, and my work allows me to work from home. My activities in the day involve constantly staring at the screen doing my work, reading, searching for alternative source of income on line, watching movies, playing games, hookups and all.

However I am not shy and very out spoken, I now go out when there is a need especially if it is prominent party and i know i will meet connected people. I am very social since i engage in constant alcohol and substance. I am posting here because i had the sense of realization that we are who we are, and since we understand ourselves, we should be able to know when to be flexible, during my 20(s) i was invited to numerous parties but i never went because i wanted to work hard and read so that during my 30(s) i won't have to be hustling.

But guess, what it didn't pan out that way, not only didn't I not have fun but I also was solidified into the rat race, constant paying bills, getting broke, intense pressure from work, burning out. I got so frustrated and as in introvert the more i was stressed the more i turned to heavy alcohol and drug use, to punching the wall in my office to de-stress. I had to resign for my own sanity and do some reflective thinking. I realized the source of it all, was that Introversion had a large role to play, if i had gone out more and met with people, I would have climbed the ladder faster, believe it or not, referral is the greatest source of employment these days. Right now i am still introverted but i have realized that i need to engage in activities that will improve my social and financial status. Right now it's all about just enjoying my life, my stance/values on morality is now much more relaxed than ever, and i realized the more i went out and put myself out there, the more i attracted positive energy.

Be Flexible and be calculated, you don't want to be the guy/girl who works hard but never seems to just be recognized.

Not just you. I can count the numbers of pictures I appeared all through my stay in school. I run from taking pictures. But I think I am winning that war too. Now, I can boldly face the world and ask her to snap me.

This message is so much on point.

You just highlighted some of the changes I have made to my life in the last 2/3 years.

Only some students, who have not experienced what's obtainable outside the four walls of schools, will say things like they don't need others to survive. Everyone thrives better when you've people around you.

I'm an introvert too, but I go out when necessary nowadays. I meet people from all spheres of life.

Being an introvert is not an excuse to become a hermit. Socialize, greet people, call to say "hello" when necessary, show people that you care and be open-minded about meeting new people.
It may take a while, but you'll soon get used to it.

It's not about becoming an extrovert, it's about adapting to improve your life. After all, adaptability is one of the characteristics of living beings.

As long as you give yourself enough time to recharge your energy (i.e enjoy your solitude regularly), you'll still be fine.

God bless you for this statement, sometimes the only regret i feel is not go out during my 20(s) however i am glad i had the chance to turn things around, sometimes it pains me because at my level, i shouldn't be where i am, but am grateful at least it could have been worse.

I understand that part. Regrets are inevitable when you go through life thinking you can do everything on your own.
At least, we should all be grateful for the changes we've made and the little we've achieved over the years.

I hate being defined by words. I usually think someone who have never walked in my shoes or anyone who has never being close to me have no right to define me.it takes patience to understand me. Unlike most people here i actually don't regret my being alone with my thoughts. It keeps me sane and focused. I got lots of friends due to me being receptive and welcoming but most times i just know that i do better when i'm on my own. The thing is being introverted actually helps you grow. I read more when i spend more time alone...i do think about too many deep things a regular nigga would never think about. I have been called genius all thanks to being alone. balance is the key. You don't lose out by being introverted. You only lose out when you chose to be a typical introvert. reach out to people who love you. spend more time with the right friends and network like your life depended on it and i promise you a life of zero regret.

People don't understand what it means to be introverted. Introverts are not always quiet people or boring people. Introverts are interesting set of people, only if you are talking about their interests.

I hate it when people say they are bored. So you can't keep yourself happy and interesting by yourself? Must you look for someone to ginger you up? If you do then you are not an introvert.

Introverts are good with themselves, they interest themselves and they don't depend on any person to save them from boredom.

You can date an introvert and talk like parrots. You can date an introvert and still be quiet and be very 100% ok and comfortable with your partner. You can go out, watch movies, play games etc. It's all about connection and understanding.
