Ajiswaggs:
Am an introvert also, so wat I observe about myself is dat I lik isolating myself frm other people, I dnt to go party even though na one of my family dey do party, I hardly greet people in my area, I can stay in my room for 3days witout going out or talking wit anybody, sometimes I always ignore calls from friends. When I lik someone, I can do anytin for the person bt if I some1 offend me I go hate am 4 ever even if he apologize later. Meanwhile, am a twins bt my twin is an extrovert.

TheoneandOnlyMe:

Funny thing is I can't keep friends for long they start to bore/annoy me and it's really bad. + I do that a lot, lock myself up for weeks.
It pisses me off when people remind me of my personality, if only I could change a little

From your diary, I guess you are still young. I was worse back in school, I got in trouble with a lot of people when I refused to talk to them or try to be friendly; and I get really annoyed with people too, esp Sanguines, I couldn't stand them back then.

I improved with time, I can now relate better with people and I go out more too. So as you grow older, you will evolve, I guess.

Cheers.
***
BTW, only time can change you or temper the habit a bit, nothing anyone says can change you. I know with time you will tolerate people more and you will begin to go out more too.

holytribe:


Am a guy and an introvert. But is it advisable to normal for a guy to be an introvert looking at the circumstances of our society?

donifez:

As an introvert you hardly please me, will scrutinize your work till i say yes perfect! Some works by other people have been in the perfect range for me. Billgate,Steve job are all introverts and they manipulate for their benefit, It is not necessary an extrovert thing...you just have to know the right string to pull.

Keyana:
I'm an introvert as well but funny thing is I can strike a convo with anyone at anytime; could even go for hours, yeah! I could be a talkative. I have friends, but no close friend as I hate attachment.

dancok:
Oh brother I love this, an introvert too, u just narrate d kind of life I like.

TheoneandOnlyMe:

I hope so

If you need someone who will think outside the box by reflex, you'll most likely find that among the introverts.

Nothing wrong with being an introvert.

It is your nature and you did not choose to be made that way. But the problem is that the world prefers and celebrates extroversion.

One thing however is that both are needed to create balance in the human society.
Look at a picture of both personalities.

The extrovert is an outgoing person who is excited by being among/around people, he/she is easily bored when there is no activity to engage in. Yeah, he's got lots of energy to spare. He has no difficulty expressing his feelings. When he's angry, you know and when he's happy, it's also very obvious ('cos he can just throw a party to show his happiness). He may not be so much interested in deep intellectual talk (not in all cases though) but he likes small talks like discussing about the weather and things like that.

But the introvert is different. He is the quiet type who does most of his talking in his head. Yeah, he thinks a lot and likes to engage in deep and intellectual conversations. He can stay alone for days and not get bored. He is not so easy to 'read' when compared with the extrovert. You may not know when he's happy or sad because his default expression is
'blank'. He could be experiencing intense joy on the inside but the best he may do to show it would just be a smile (no, he won't go jumping up and down, screaming in excitement). He likes depth in whatever he does and as such prefers quality to quantity. He may be slow in doing stuff but when he is done, you would appreciate his work because of the quality of it.
He is very good at understanding people but unfortunately for him, the gesture is not reciprocated as he is often misunderstood by many.
He doesn't make friends and get attached to people easily but once he considers you his friend, you are most likely going be his friend for life. You can now see why he has to keep someone on his 'probation' list for some time before admitting that person into his circle of friends (which is usually small).
He likes to work from the background, away from the spotlight. He hates noise!
Cool music playing in the background and a book in hand is a perfect way for him to spend the day.
When he loves, he is usually very committed to the one he loves...

Hence, you see that both are needed to complement each other so don't ever entertain the thought that something is wrong with you because you're an introvert.
However, you can try making friends with a moderate extrovert and you will see how it will help you open up a little, just the same way an extrovert's excesses are curbed when she has an introverted friend. I say moderate extrovert because a highly extroverted friend can drive you nuts with too much stimulation (from talking and other activities peculiar to her nature).

Pardon my long epistle
Makes a lot of sense
