sisiafrika: u followed me here again?? U wan die sha

Actually, I came here before you.

Oluwarejub gave me a mention.

sisiafrika: I slap lecturers, so I doubt I'm shy.

Ooops, picks slipper and run away before i get and e-slap. Extrovert Keep Off.

I have a young son that is tending towards being an introvert
Whenever we go out on a function,he can't wait to be back home to his video games
He hates going out
He is miserable when we are out and sometimes would cry because he wants to be home even when everyone is having fun
It bothers me sometimes
I am hoping he will outgrow it
The only time he is excited to be out is if I am going to get him some new video game and itune cards and he can't wait to get to the store

At school and after school he has some few bossom friends and sticks with them.

Wow...that's the highest point... and for the fact that He's addicted to games makes it worst...

I think you should get him a bestie...an extroverted type...with time he'll learn to associate...

Also surround him with friends... he'll explode

FKBZ: Am a confirmed introvert,no friends,can't start a conversation not to talk for keeping it.
I hate arguments with a passion and I hardly get angry cos I have better things to he thinking abt.
If anyone vexs me and ask me wat they did I would say I forgot even when I was with my former gf I had to write down wat she did wrongly so I could remember for future reference
When am with someone I prefer if the person is a talkative so I would have liitle to say and I would just be nodding or far away in my thot's.
I really love to have a friend but meeting one is hard of me.
I doubt if their is anyone who truly knows me even a little.
Sometimes I think how would I get my briadal train when the time comes.
I hate fake people and I easily detect lies.

There are a lot of people like you
It's just your nature but you can modify it and be a little more sociable
It's actually fun to get to know people

In the company of his close friends he is actually loud and I get calls from the after school that he was playing with friends when asked to be quiet
But he doesn't make friends easily with people he doesn't know unlike his siblings
In a crowd where he doesn't know the people,he is very miserable

FrancisTony:

Only on Social network I have asked a girl out.

sheniqua:
You may end up with a talkative wife
They say opposites attract
Someone has to make some noise in that house
She pulls you a little out of your shell and you help pull her into toning it down some.
Good combination

Talkative wife? Eh? I don't like talkatives. I just want a lively lady. Before I learnt it is good one marries someone with an opposite character, I used to wish I married a nerd like me, but now I know better. But still, I don't want someone with an extremely different character.

He forces himself to hang with other kids at event but 30 minutes later,he retreats to find me and tell me he wants to go home

How old is he?

lol, what a thread

I was an extreme introvert while growing untill after 2 years in the uni.

Mehn, those days where terrible. People form an opinion about you which you know is not true but cannot defend it just because you cannot talk.

Remembering how you failed in your last attempt to talk gets you more afraid of meeting new people and things get even more complicated. Then knowing you can't relate well with others erodes your self confidence and you take a plunge into inferiority complex.

Though I am still introverted but the extreme side of it is no more.

My change started when I started building my self esteem. I started loving me. I started forgiving myself when I fail in an attempt to relate with people while believing I will do better next time. I understood there is more to life than talking and the pressure to talk better gave way. I discovered my personal way of conversation and stuck to it and stopped wishing I did it like the other person. My confidence kept rising until I almost became borderline proud.

Though I still keep to myself most times but making and keeping friends is just easy to me except I don't want to associate with the person. I still don't talk much but I've got no problems saying whatever I want to say. People who are not close to me say I am quiet but those close say I am nowhere near quiet. Don't even know which one to believe.

Its cool being an introvert if you've got your self esteem intact. A lot of extroverts will be intimidated around you, trust me

Djtm:
How old is he?

Just 10

sheniqua:

Get him a computer and see if he can get his hands on programming.

Verse from Nas is like. . .nice

Some people are mistaken being an introvert for being timid. I don't think an introvert is one who is afraid of meeting people or scared of leaving the house. An introvert does not necessarily fear dealing with the opposite sex. From what I know, an introvert is one who enjoys his or her company MORE than the company of others. An introvert can and should be able to socialise when necessary but just generally prefers being alone.
Some people are very unsocial and are more or less timid. Such people need therapy.

The fact is that most teenagers are shy.

Not Nas... it's J.Cole

as an introvert, its not really been easy dealing with people who don't understand me.

people say am proud, snobbish and unfriendly. dat I always feel too big to associate with them. while some odas think am a good n homely girl,.....hahaha but dey don't know me

I am a 100% indoor person, I prefer to read novels, play music, and surf d net. I am easily irritated by people and as such, I don't have many friends. once someone starts irritating me, i stop picking his/her calls. I hardly make new friends, d ones I make, maintaining d friendship becomes a problem. dey complain dat I don't call, I don't visit bla bla bla ........am working on it shaa.

party? hahaha! not my thing buh wen I attend one, I jes sit n observe.


I find it difficult engaging in a conversation with people esp d elderly ones. I find myself tongue-tied weneva I wan to spaek to dem.. I hardly call dem by dia names, I prefer going near dem n whispering in dia ears.

stage fright I something av not bin able to deal with........I think my own "introvercy" is d worst.
I really nid help!

Liamm: I can easily start a conversation but maintaining it would be a heck of a job.

Welcome to my world,for me I just get tired in the midst of a conversation and withdraw but I can be sometimes lively when I want to.

Oops. Thought u knew about rap. Sorry but the lyrics is from a song by Nas called Nas is Like.

Some have eyes but cannot see. I gave u a screenshot. U definitely know nothing about rap songs. Ur Mr J.Cole lifted it from Nas verbatim, he rapped using Nas exact lyrics as a form of paying homage to Nas. The song itself has a remix ft Nas. J.Cole was still peeing in his pants when those words were originally composed by the legend himself. U should be thanking me for schooling u and teaching u the history of the lyrics u are using as ur signature.

How do you intent to relate (compulsory) with others in the near future ?

Honestly, I don't know. It's something I often think about. Right now, I'm trying hard to get out of my shell,,,,,
