To me introversion is a shell but i was able to get out of it without destroying that shell, so when am face with overwhelming situations in outside world. I would just withdraw into my shell my own world then i cut connections with frnds and families alike.

Filly3:
All of the above are difficult to me.
My own introvert is worse I get tired of relationship easily at some point I also get tired of myself, you that kind feeling of wanting to be away from oneself. I get that feeling most times.
People rarely understand me. It's difficult being an introvert I wish I have my way �

I can't keep a friendship going for a long time. The moment i left sec. sch i don't interact much with my frnds.

Albertone:
Well I'm introverted myself.But I had to force my self outta my shell because I needed to earn to survive.I am an introvert by default but I can switch when needed.i.e starting a convo with someone.But I still don't attend parties and don't go out unnecessarily.

Everyone one here saying they stay indoor always and don't go out.How do y'all earn??I know not everyone is a freelancer!

That got me thinking.... U

lekxaid007:
I can relate to all.
One of the digusting thing to do being an introvert is fakeing as an extrovert. you'll end up doing rubbish and feeling akward about yourself.

it's better to be proud of yourself as an introvert enjoy your peace.

Ambivert is the best to me. My frnds would tell me that my mood work with network.

Im an introvert as well...introversion doesnt mean total reclusion; as being portrayed by most people here....

mhen thank God i came across this thread
since this lockdown started which was in march i remember watching manutd and mancity in a match center but since then I've only gone out just once to cut my hair(around june)
To make or receive calls i find it hard but to chat on whatsapp I'm an expert
i don't have much friends
i also don't attend parties
I'm still single all my life

sherylbakky:
U see a girl u like ehn, get her phone number ( some may not give u, but don't b discouraged, try another girl if one doesn't give u).

Start chatting with her, - how was ur nyt, what did u eat, are u going out? e.t.c

After some chats, start mixing d chats up with calls.

Then, ask her out on a date after few weeks (2weeks to a month). Take care of her wen u take her out.

After d outing (few days after), tell her u wud like to be involved with her/date her (for someone like u, it's better to do dis via chat). She may say yes or no, if she says no, dont still b discouraged, try another babe with d same method. If she says yes, there u go!

I wanna believe u won't b a player, wish u d best.

Lol. Thanks anyway.
But all those things are not my thing, sha when lm ready, I will.use this format. Thanks

iamyemiakins:
Which is more stressful to/for you being an introvert.

Receiving/making calls or going out?

Going out o...stressful.

FahBuLous:
Even going out to buy something I really need is hard, making call is another wahala, buh I love receiving sometimes sha....
I really wanna make friend though buh I f'ckinq dunno how to....
Like in my neighbourhood, I will go just wanna be left alone and all they keep sayinq is that I am too proud and don't wanna associate with people...
Is being introvert a curse or its just normal??

Perfectly normal.

both are not ok honestly. sometimes I get tired of talking to my gf. will just pretend lik I didn't see d call and most time after talking for 2mins I just put my fon on flight mode. going out is a hell no

shestrong:
Perfectly normal.

I thought i had a problem

The upside with our kind is we love 2read and engage smart minds and in smart discussions....
from my perspective its a gift we r introverts never a curse

Kemimarch16:
Going out o, honestly I wish to have many friends but it difficult for me because I'm intorvert,it really affecting me in so many ways.

I thought I was the only one experiencing this....

To make or answer call for bus na e hard pass

I don't do any, I'm an extreme introvert. In Nigeria, introversion is a CURSE if you want to make it in life and make it big especially if you are from an humbled background

Hi Kemi..

....

spiralwedge:


I'm sorry o. You have low IQ and you may be needing "therapy" and reduction of fake human hair usage.. Truth is bitter.

Lol you are a wicked human being, You are just pinning down and oppressing the poor gurl front and back, side by side lol. Shugavee have my sympathy please.......

Making calls

Candrevah:

Hi Kemi..

Candrevah:


Babe I'm the right man for you, mind we exchange contacts??

No, she's very married.

I still manage to receive calls (most times with reluctance). But to make call makes me feel like the whole burden of the world are pressed on my neck.
Then going out... that one is an haculean task.

Receiving calls especially long calls is the hardest, I usually get headaches and feel drained after long conversations, I make calls when it is important and It will be direct and short,
I enjoyed chatting, I express myself more in writing(I’m better than before sha),I also planned my outings cos I feel very safe staying indoor than staying out
I have been taken for being bored and as someone who doesn’t raise topics in a conversation many times but it’s not entirely true, I talk on things that matters and not just on all necessary and unnecessary things like extroverts do
I think human nature should be studied in all sphere of education as it will make human interaction better, lots of people has tried to change the nature of their friends and spouses due to lack of understanding and this has left psychological and emotional stress on the people they tried to change.

I beg to disagree...
I know successful people in Nigeria who are introverts. Some of the big tech entrepreneurs and even some senior career people in Nigeria are introverted.

You can still engage and socialize as an introvert, it's just the frequency that differs and the fact that you need to recharge afterwards. One has to learn to flex when need be.

CallMeGrace:
Sincerely, I thought I was the only one dealing with all these, I hate receiving calls, also I don't like going out. Have never been to club before or parties,I don't have many friends, i prefer being alone to myself, I can stay in the house for days without steping out and I will be very much okay with it. Having a relationship is damn stressful, I get fed up at a point. I wonder how other introvert cope in their marriage.

you hate receiving calls

i agree with this.u can stil socialise as an introvert but the frequency is what differs u from a person who is highly sociable.What i find it hard to believe is what some ppl are saying here that they never come out of their rooms.how is that possible?
wont u go out to buy foodstuffs when ur foodstuffs deplete at home?
wont you go to the gym?
wont u go to work?
wont u go to school?
that someone will be inside his locked room 24/7 breathing the same stale air
thats not an introvert
thats a psycho in the making

Lol...the way u guys are translating this introvert thing is different . Of course, introverts do all the things listed above, going to school, work, market for foodstuffs are essential. Introverts go out for essential things which is different from social activities.

No one is saying introverts stay indoor all year round as some of u guys are portraying it.
