Olarewajub: @ Liamm . Do you have hard time starting a conversation with strangers and askingaboutstions? This is true about me, mine is not even strangers alone. Sometimes I might go to a place like the barbing saloon or inside a bus where a topic l know every detail about is being discussed, and then someone is giving d wrong detail about such topic, inside l would like to correct d person but I can't cos I feel I'm not called upon to do so. Even when I'm called, I'll simply concur to what d person is cos I don't want to go into any unnecessary argument or so 17 Likes 2 Shares |

And there we all go,virtually everybody described me completely. Let talk about been shy, I had received my fair share too, I rarely talk, Iove to talk to myself.. Talk alone, live alone read alone, think loud,I find solace been Lone, except of course if I can EXTRA happy that I can talk.my whaspp, bbm contact think am one proud fella that don't reply message but an always not in the mood. Let say about talks. Am a good talker inside but talking to a group of people can suffocate me. The one that broke the camel back was the day my pastor said I should pray. My People, I was so tensed that I forgot to remember maybe I should start with the grace or just recite hymn for good 5 minutes I was praying god in his mercy should shallow me they. Through been an introvert is very good because we have a planned life. Am definitely sure most of us planned owning our business. And lastly I don't know maybe this is a curse or something; Whenever am with a pretty lady, I will just be swallowing split like agama...very awkward....Good to know we are introvert and I must say been an introvert pays 24 Likes 1 Share |

This was an interesting read. I can't relate to anything here but I understand that people are different I have met introverted people ,those of us who socialize easily seem to empathize with introverts but I don't think it calls for empathy We are all different I could start a conversation and carry it on for an hour with a total stranger I could chat up a cashier at the grocery store,someone waiting in a room with me I can talk to anyone I have been at a gathering and was asked to MC the occasion and I would do it in a flash,before an unfamiliar audience and do a good job I don't consider myself an extrovert however There is a middle ground between introverts and extroverts where I seem to belong In some settings,I could appear introverted and withdrawn and rarely speak But generally speaking I socialize very easily 10 Likes |

Lots of introverts here.....thought I was a weirdo at some point in my life, I have very few friends, I love keeping to myself, being indoors, alone, not too good at math but i calculate every movement n event around me(very careful n observant) can't start a conversation without saying " pls excuse me" cos I really don't wanna offend anyone or get into trouble, hate crowd and nosy people,find it difficult to look a person in d eye, when I met a group of people for d 1st time I don't utter much words n as conversations r going on, I just smile n take notes about them in my head, if I don't like d conversation, I shut dem out in my head but give them d impression that they've got my attention(I do this to talkatives). Lots of people say "she's really quiet, she feels big, she's a snub but I really don't care what any1 thinks....cos...#if any1 can't stand my heat, I suggest they leave my kitchen# 19 Likes 1 Share |

sheniqua: Funny enough I attended a boarding school for 6years... I wasn't happy there cos u always have people in your space...begged my parents to mk me a day student but they wouldn't listen so I had no choice....I found a way of doing most of my stuff before others ( woke up earlier 2 tk my bath so that I don't hv to argue with any1, always made sure I wasn't lacking anything so that I wouldn't have to ask any1 and stuff like that...) I guess I coped by carving out a niche for myself out of d space they were always trying to occupy...... 18 Likes |

novia22: I think that is the key Even for introverts there is always a group you can feel comfortable in,you find that group and hang with that group and that becomes your social group We all need to socialize,that is human nature For some that group is amongst their church members,for others people from their same background or culture or profession The strange thing in life is that most introverts end up marrying very extroverted people It is always fun to watch a couple where the man is so quiet and reserved and his wife is the life of the party and vice versa I think it makes for a good match There is always someone to balance things and keep it centered when it wants to veer off to the extremes I know two very introverted people that are a couple,however and I remember people wondering how he even proposed to her since they are both very very quiet. At the wedding,he could hardly give a vote of thanks in front of the crowd and she just smiled shyly and was looking down most times. 14 Likes 1 Share |

What a fascinating thread! I'm also an introvert. I hate to be the centre of attention, I enjoy my own company a lot, no matter how hard I try I can't chat up a stranger. I talk a lot...to myself. I tend to be tongue-tied when talking to people I'm not familiar with. I think I'm friendly and easy going, but only friends and family know that. Outwards, I come across as a snub. I may not speak much physically, but there is so much speech going on in my head at any given time. A perfect day for me would be; me, alone with my thoughts, and music playing in the background. 15 Likes |

I am an introvert. I enjoy my own company. I can enjoy sharing space with many people for a limited time, after a while I withdraw into my shell. Even at big family occasions, the first few hours with them I'll talk alot and then my mouth begins to physically hurt. People that don't know me wonder if something they said pissed me off, they have no clue in just resting my mouth. I also have conversations with myself alot! My family has gotten used to me. My mum just chatters away because she knows she won't get response from me most of the time. As for meeting the right person, I need God's intervention, I'm in my early 20s and I guess I should be building a relationship now but its just not happening as I don't keep many friends and I don't attend many social functions. 8 Likes 1 Share |
