I read everything by Robert Greene. Popular ones include "Mastery," "48 Laws of Power," & "Art of Seduction." These books will wake you up from being an emotional junk to a more objective and logical animal.

One of my favourite book is the "Power of your Subconscious Mind" by Joseph Murphy. It debunked popular myth and places the power back in your hands.

I'd also recommend "Meditations" by Marcus Aurelius. Contains short nuggets on various philosophical truths. Could call it a life advice manual. Definitely gonna change your perspective on life.

Then I read a bunch of history too, with a blend of social politics. Mostly about the life of dictators such as Hitler, Joseph Stalin, Vladimir Lenin. etc. "The Rise & Fall of the Third Reich" by William L. Shirer is a good place to start.

These aren't motivational books to make you feel mushy or fuzzy. They'll wake you up to life. To real fuxxxing life!

Yeah, these contents might pose as weird books by societal norms. But they've helped me develop a thick skin.

The world out there isn't fair. As an introvert like me, if you fail to shield yourself mentally, you'd be an emotional mop tossed to and fro by folks who'd wanna take you for a ride by capitalising on your calm and peaceful disposition.

These stuff have taught me to be calm but not to be foolish; to be calculative and astute. It has made me discover that my personality isn't a disadvantage but rather a blessing.

I've learnt to wear my insecurities comfortably with my middle finger to the world.

The Bible is my all time favourite.
Words by the author of Ecclesiastics still leaves me struck as to how a human being could possess that reservoir of practical wisdom. His generation didn't deserve him.

I prefer buying my books from a book store. I love the feel of flipping the pages and marking sentences. Lol.

However, you can get practically any book in pdf from b-ok.org or pdfdrive.com.

Good luck.

Having a serious problem getting a Job because of my nature. Most people I know, which is quite a few got theirs through networking and referrals. I have no one. I've only been contact three times for interviews all in distant locations and I don't even bother going because of that. Introversion is worse when you're done with school, NYSC and anything that forces you to be in crowded places. When you are alone being a job seeker or even trying venturing in a business. It just get you at the neck. Never thought the ripple effect of being an introvert would come hard on me like this.

Drizzle007:


I can relate to this. I stay away from relationships for two reasons.
I don't have the finance to back it up currently.
It takes away my solitude due to women being too demanding for attention and all that.
I sometimes like to go days without reaching out to anyone.
When you're in a relationship, try that and it's war.
Man!!

Ameboperoo:

Try and get engaged in something that occupies you. Like learning programming etc. It's going to build your chance of getting a job.

Drizzle007:


I'm currently on this.
It's actually hard learning alone. At least for me.
But I really do want to. I try.
It's all start and stop.

Ameboperoo:

That not withstanding, you should have at least one friend whom you are close to. Preferably the opposite sex.

Drizzle007:


I used to have someone of the opposite sex. Our relationship was like yours. I learnt to be with the person all day and became pretty attached. But then when they leave you, man I haven't trusted anything that looks like her since then.
I have close friends (guys) but they are not like me.
All currently employed and extroverted.
It becomes annoying when you're chatting with them and the next question is 'you don get job? '.
That question repeated overtime can cause you to distance yourself.
No one wants to be reminded of his set backs.

scave:


I am in your shoes bro, I had to take teaching job, a job I detest the most, but it motivates me to learn programming because I want to leave there as soon as possible. When I was looking for job the morale to learn programming diminished I prefer watching film and playing game morning to night. But as I started teaching I become more conscious of my development and immediately I come back from school I learn something on programming.

Nothing bad in starting from small so far you have a focus.

Drizzle007:


Can I get your contact?
Maybe I could draw from your zeal and we could form up a team learning pattern.

bravesoul247:

JacksonMS:

Most psychopaths are introverts... How true is this?

Hakeem12:
Lol, I once took a course on terrorism and my lecturer mentioned something like this. He also said quiet people who don't socialize much are often targeted by people who recruit terrorist, since they keep secrets better and follow through with tasks. I never agreed with that though.

AwkaetitiBabe:
most of the books I've read on psychopaths points towards introverts. Though serial killers like Hannibal lecter was a different case entirely.

Xzbit91:


Correlation does not equal causation. A psychopath has blatant disregard for social coventions, doesn't necessarily mean the person has to be introverted.

Yakira:
Hello y'all, so I'll say I'm actually an ambivert (introvert and extrovert) presently although the introverted part of me is more stronger
I hope I'm welcomed

Can someone recommend some books, I really want to increase my intelligence especially in the parts of politics, business and understanding humans
thank you

Gaggi:
I'm introverted but I'm neither timid nor shy (except I'm in the middle of a crowd though). I don't have problems starting conversations but I hardly do. I really don't enjoy knowing too many people so I mostly keep to myself. I enjoy my own company but I also enjoy gisting and hanging out with very close friends.

Women have never really been a problem, I dated beautiful women and married one. Funny enough I have only 'toasted' a girl on the road just once. I have always operated best with girls that are within my reach, classmates, colleagues, people introducing me to a girl etc. I have no problem 'toasting' a girl in such situations, I actually find it very easy. Meeting random girls was never my thing.

I enjoy intimate settings, one on one in a restaurant, bar or somewhere serene. However, I occasionally want to hang out at the club or loud bar. I just noticed now that I prefer just being alone in my room, just flipping through channels or binging on Youtube, doing nothing. But the kids keep jumping all over.. LOL. I have lost the zeal for movies and reading.

Basically, I've gone through the cycle of very introverted in my teens, to a bit outgoing in my 20's and early 30's and now I'm settling back into my introverted state.

Depressed101:
you sub consciously wrote about me. This is so me...

Vibesking:


You've got a funny moniker.

Depressed101:
hmm i wonder what it's like been an introverted father. How do you cope and your wife too how does she handle you..

Sometimes my sister and mum disturb me, let's go here and there, let's meet so so and so. Sometimes i oblige, most times i just want to coil up in my room playing games, watching movie, watching youtube videos, or reading and writing comments on nairaland...

And how do you cope with your extended family, how much do you call people. And your working place too.
