What I said is that introversion and low self-esteem are linked. C'est fini

Hello fellow Nairalanders,
Please I need your advice on this.I find it hard to express myself to people because of been rejected by them
I find it hard to express myself because of being criticized
I find it hard to express myself even at my place of work because of being sacked going back to square one
There are somethings I don't voluntrily want to do when people ask me to do then but I can't say no because I don't want to look bad cry
I lack self confidence too cry
I really need help because deep down I hate it when I can't express my feelings to people
Have been pretending to enjoy pain and stress since I was born and now am 21 years of age,no school,no handwork, always feeling shy but I have one talent which is music but I don't know how to go about it and I don't want to see sucide as an option
I blame my parents for this things because when I was small, they don't allow me to go out and experience life
As I write about this now,I feed myself and instead of them to give me, they are always demanding from me
I don't even know where to start from
Am tired of this goddamn world! cry

I hope this well help. Try to read more topics about life generally. From entertainment, sports, politics, lifestyles and current affairs etc.

This will give you a lot of engagements with people. During conversation with people always state the facts this will boast people confident in you and invariably increase your own confident and remove the shyness...

Self confidence comes from reading books, chatting with people and going out? undecided

Yes, there are books about how to build self confidence, and when you chat with people or go out with people and join them in doing great stuff together like executing projects and other tasks, you can get self confidence from such experience.

Did he tell you he masturbates? Abi you have a problem with reading to understand?


He said it is due to the fact that his parents dont usually allow him outside to experience life. Mingling with his peer will of course become a challenge.

Visit a psychiatrist or psychotherapist to evaluate yourself op. There is a way they instill your self awareness so that you can build yourself.

You are not the OP.
Reading is a way of learning.
If you never learnt anything by reading, you won't be here typing with your phone or laptop.
There are several points expressed by different individuals whose message had been passed across for the OP's benefit.
I come in peace.


I have faced exactly what the dude is currently going through. I mean the diffidence part of it. Too much reading has a way of disconnecting one from real people. Reading is good for learning, but certainly not for solving shyness and confidence issues.

Dude needs to go out and mingle with real people. The most shy and depressed people are actually those who spend most of their time reading endlessly. Books cure ignorance. But books don't improve social life. In fact, the more you read, the more introverted you become. The more separated you are from your real surrounding.
You guys should just leave book matter out of this unless you want to plunge the young man further into his miserable solitary living.

Mind you I still love reading, but now with commonsense. Let him go out and explore his world! Now is not the time for any book! He needs practical face to face interactions! He doesn't need some book illusions! Enough of this isolated living!

My God.
So if headache is a symptom of cancer it means everyone and anyone who has headaches have cancer?

Replace the keywords and think deeply of what you are saying or simply go to bed.
I think you had better consult the dictionary here to better understand what a symptom really is....
symp·tom

a physical or mental feature which is regarded as indicating a condition of disease, particularly such a feature that is apparent to the patient.
"dental problems may be a symptom of other illness"
When headache is listed as one of the many symptoms of a particular cancer, you are to look for other existence of other symptoms on the patient that also point towards that very particular cancer before proceeding with test and maybe treatment. undecided

You don't simply conclude with just the one, and you also don't rule it out either - you look for more information undecided

Back to low confidence, unlike introversion which is a personality orientation, results from stress. undecided

Man!! Look at your write-up very closely. Now! tell me what you see.... I see some deep lyrics for your hit song. Sing about your real life experiences but don't stop there, tell your audience how you stood up stronger after falling in your song. That's the real shit your fans want to listen to.

No forget to add this advice to your that lyrics oh. grin

Is there any YouTube channel I can focus on
I have even written down a song of my own, though not a gospel one but a r&b like one, because I love R&B but I fear I might be wasting my time
Writing one song isn't enough unless you guarantee it's going to be a hit. So you really need to do more in your music journey. What's this thing about being shy? Trust me you are still very young and can make a difference in the next few years if only you set a direction and get to work. Suicide is never an option as success is only for the brave...if you can think suicide why not think of dangerous living like becoming a drug courier to a kingpin? And if you succeed then good.but if you die? Better than suicide.

Expressing yourself by writing in a faceless forum is the lowest form of expression. It requires little or no courage because the people cannot see you, nor can you see them. If they insult you and you can't bear it then you abandon the forum and move on. IRL you can't abandon your school, job or family so easily.

Also to comprehend what you read you may need to read it more than once. The OP said he cannot speak up IRL so I wonder why you are confused.

Hello bro, you're within the age bracket where lack of confidence rears its ugly head.

For most of us, it was indulgence in secondary School politics, been in SRC that helped boosted our confidence.

At 21, you should be in the 2nd year in university, but since you are not I want to categorically tell you that "shyness" is a natural phenomenon, the first fears that grips you before standing to talk to an audience is the fear of having or lacking what to say, then the fear of having a well articulated form of presenting what you want to say.

But bro, do you know that once you confront this fear and stands to have the audience, that fear leaves you, you can only experience voice breakings when you lack words (though this happens within your age bracket)

Confront your own fear, we all carry this cross

Don't shift blame on your predicament, be responsible for yourself and everything that happens to you, otherwise the situation will never change....

I fully understand your pain. I'm also working on myself as regards that. My input is that you have to make friends with people who are real. People who are blunt and exposed. Another, always try to talk with at least 2 or 3 strangers in a week.

Don't overlook the power of communication. It gives you insight on things you shouldn't know

Let me say a very big congratulations to you for identifying your problems cause that's the major or first step in solving such problem.

The first and foremost thing you need to know is self-determination. Be determined to make yourself better, the world/society doesn't care of what you're going through. You alone can make your better, decide not to look down on yourself or look inferior, admit the fact that no one is perfect.

Here's what I want you to do... Stop the blaming game, your parents have Bleep up already, it's up to you to make yourself better now... Learn how to say No to some of their demands, you can only do that when you have a target or goals, make sure your goals comes first before any other things.

Secondly, get out of your comfort zone...go to places where there are much gathering, places like mall, bar and events centre since you said you love music.

Lastly, read books n watch YouTube videos on how to boost self esteem and follow some practical steps.
That's all I have to say bro

A self that is not expressed will die. Those who are expressing themselves don't die but realise thier desires. There is no reason for personality-killing shyness unless there is a demonic burden placed on you. If the latter is your case, please turn it to Jesus Christ. Take up His Lordship over your life and you will be set free. First step, surrender to Him as your Saviour if you have not done so. Don't compare yourself to anybody neither fear their comments or criticism on this.

Also, start expressing yourself. And, the best way to start is to start now. Don't commit unreasonable suicide, start now. You will soon realise you are far better than many others.
