Sometimes I get scared of bumping into people. Sometimes I go far away to be alone. Sometimes I am scared of sitting amongst friends.
Sometimes or most times?

Do you know why ? There might be an underlying reason for this. Lonely childhood, being bullied etc.

Hmmm
How old are u?

I do enjoy my space, solitude and sometimes I just want to go out there and talk to someone but I got no buddy to hang out with. I really need to make new friends in Abuja. Please hit me up if you are interested for a hangout no strings attached.

Is it just me who struggle with my weight as a result of staying indoors?


I haven't stepped out of my house in over three months!, I am an introvert, but I think I suffer from social anxiety!

Nice thread!

Seriously?!

Introvert offline, extrovert online. That's what I've noticed with introverts.

NewSoul:
I just want to be alone, I don't like the family I'm born into, I'm not yet independent if not I would have left never to be heard from again . I don't like women nor the only thing they have to offer (sex) therefore marriage is erased from my life goals. There's nothing that excites me (money, food,sex, vacation, technology), everything seems meaningless and vague.

This might be a mental illness issue and not introversion.

Mrviktor:

Try to think back to why such happened, a trauma from d past. Face it and confront it. Practice affirmations too

Glad you figured out. Then take the next step.

Which is?

VLTA:


Which is?

Deliberately work to make it better. Expose yourself to helpful videos. And take deliberate actions against your norm. You really need to find a way to convince yourself that you deserve the best.

Alright thanks sir

Positive speakings. Like prophecy something like that.

I will not be scared today. People will be nice today. I'm not useless. I'm a force to be reckoned with.
You can search YouTube and online for more intricacies

Lol. Do u know depression is a mental issue? You don't have to be "mad" to have mental health issues.

Funny, we are somewhat similar. I live a life of solitude, conscious of myself. Yes, I do get that urge/feeling to also just want to burst out like sack filled with water colours and express myself through talking with anyone who I cane relate fine with. But it is not easy finding the right people too. Well, i'm from Abj too and I am a guy.

Introversion can be a curse. You'll find yourself talking to walls, insects, trees, & even your shadow sometimes: Everything but fellow humans. Suddenly, all energy is gone & all you think of is the warmth on your sofa. It is for this reason introverts walk fast.

To get away from the noise as soon as possible. Because such noise drowns out their imagination. And they need to be alone with their minds like one needs oxygen. My biggest concern is that one gets so comfortable in their skin, they might never admit a partner into their space.

Because where the extroverted asks "why not", the introvert asks "why should I admit you into my space? I am missing nothing". It would explain their impatient, unforgiving nature. Can an introvert truly love another as they love themselves? I doubt it. But they try.

I am introverted. This is my reality. I hate small-talk. I have a short attention span. If I don't care for you, I will not remember your name. You'll mostly find me in nature, Crowds make me claustrophobic. I can't stand noise. I love being in control: It's a curse & a blessing.

If I'm talking to you, I made that decision. It's not accidental. It's not the first time I saw you either. I have been assessing you. Leave your shoes at the door. Don't be loud. Don't stay too long either, I soon tire of company. Don't call me. I'll call you. Keep your distance

Don't lie to me, I will never lie to you. But if you lie to me, I have a wilder imagination. I will always out-lie you. Remember that, it will come in handy. I don't fight for people, I walk away. If I do you right, do me right. I can be selfish, look after yourself around me.

I have conferences in my head. Sometimes, it gets heated in there & I end up mumbling it away. If you catch me at it, I'll pretend to be singing/rapping. Don't ask me: "who are you talking to?" Save us the awkwardness. All in all, I'm an introvert... And I love me.

Some of these attributes of yours is soo me.

Anyways, no strings attached is also what I would want. 0704 five three four seven five zero five. Catch you later.

What both of you have in common, as with all the self-proclaimed introverts is an over awareness of one's self. You guys live too much in your minds than in reality. You want to talk, but don't need an audience, you want to go out but not in a crowd, you want to feel, but don't need a touch.

You all have great personalities, hence the need to want to express yourself to someone who can relate and understand, that deep inside your head is a beautiful mind, with an uncommon and witty sense of humor.

But truth is you all have to look outside yourselves sometimes, don't just observe, participate a little, and a little, and some more. Life is bigger than each one of you, there's so much out there.

Deriving so much pleasure in the solitude of the mind and body makes you create a world of your own that's not so easy to be shared.

So in paraphrasing, get a little bit more interested in people, you can start with a common interest. I wish Nigeria had a good social services system, many of you could have been great volunteers... We'll get there someday

You all have so much to give and share with the world, you don't have to enjoy your personality all alone, your company, your voice, ideas, jokes, laughter, thoughts, hopes.. I can go and on... So just try and live more ...... outside

sheepheart:

Haha, Wow! This is so me! Taking to bugs, walls, myself, thin-air, playing pretend, role playing and no human conversation at the end of the day. Lol, life has to go on. I am strong like that though. But we all need someone who can understand us.

Precisely why I said you guys need to live more outside than within.

AoTMHG:

Are you an introvert yourself?

Jobia:
Are you an introvert yourself?

No, but instinctively I understand how such minds work.

It's like most times, you guys have dual personalities. The first is the one you display to the world because it's expected of you to be like that and then the second is the reserved you who likes withdrawing inwards into another private world, full of thoughts.
