If you are a Christian I would advice you to pray to be filled with the holy spirit .
Because getting filled with the spirit and giving yourself to praying in tongues imparts boldness to you .
The holy spirit is the complete part of every man .
Any man who lacks the holy spirit is incomplete.
But if you re not a Christan then I would advice you to give your life to Christ .

By dying these words .
Dear father thanking for giving Jesus your son to die for my sins ,thank you for raising him for my justification .
Lord jesus I believe and accept you as my personal lord and savior .
Come into my heart today ,and I receive your eternal life into my spirit .
Thank you for saving me .

Hallelujah .

After these you should look for the bible believing and spirit filled church ,and join them in fellowship ,and Communion unto maturity to the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ .

Give yourself to the word of God ,and to praying in the spirit .

These would build you up if you do them .
I have experienced something like these before but now I'm different by the grace of God .

Making friends is not issue, the thing is even you as a person, a boring friend will bore you out that's just how my relationship with my friends are atm, I've got no vibe to maintain a discussion. in short I'll literally bore you out and that's just my case. About work, I bet you any manager will sack me after 2weeks or a month highest, there are some ethics that i'm seriously lacking. You talk yourself down a lot. Please, send me your Whatsapp number. I will send you a voice note.

Bro I swear you won't and can't understand me

Stop blaming your parent, quit masturbation and pornography, it affects mental health. Study the book of Ephesians, lastly talk to God.

You're the one who is not serious yourself. That 1 year at nysc should be enough to turn things around for yourself. But there are you asking for advise less than 3 months to spend there. Anyways, wish you best of luck.

Being a mom of three little girls and a boy being the last perfectly puts me in your mums shoes, those people showed you unconditional love, from your comment I really don't see what you are missing other than the wayward lifestyles of your male counterpart, I pray it doesn't take you time to realize the love you are thrashing, the street is not as rosy as you have imagined it, your parents obligation was to nurture and protect you, even thou full protection is from God.....I bet they never intend for you to masturbate, have low self esteem or be clouded by negative mindset....whatever they did was out of plain love, is left for you to think positive..like the saying goes(you can take a horse to the stream to drink water, but u can not force it down it's throat) your parent as done well by taking you to the stream, the ball is now in your court whether to drink the water or spat on your parents face like you are doing now. Work on your mindset first and stop the blame game. Goodluck

I'll like to make my story short as possible without much introduction tho. And also a lesson parents/ new couples should learn from my ordeal, Pls read to the end.

Alright So I'm the only male born of my parent among 4 girls, i also happen to be the last born at it. my problem started when growing up, cause my parent aged bfr getting a Male child which was my Dad and his parent cravings, I was pampered when growing up such that my parents would never watch me do stressful things, dictate when I go out and who I moved out with (My mum's own was even worse cause when growing up, if I want to go out, she'll always send me back inside) even during secondary school they had to get a school very close to our house. my sisters were only the ones that would go to mum's shop and make sales while mum would either stay with me at home or if I eventually go the shop sef I'll always sit and just watch. Literally, I'll say I was denied the right to be exposed to lotta things and real issues about life.

And cause I was not the sociable type cause I'll literally stay at home, watch movies, eat and my movements limited, I was exposed to pornography and masturbation at a very young age and I battled that bad habit thr my University days (Did I say my Parents also dictated the University I went to cause it was close to our House to and any small riot in school then the next hour they'll come and pick me back home till every thing dies down)

So guys over time, I've grown to be this boring guy who is shy, timid, suffering from low self esteem and can't give vibe even when gisting with my fellow guys, in which most of them just relegate me to this small boy level. Did I also say I've never had a Girlfriend all my life cause the truth is ion always know what to say or how to maintain talking vibe. At first I decide not to care and just always console myself with I was created like that and just continue my boring life, it has now gotten to the point I'm not rated in anything at all, most people just make friends with me cause of what they can gain from me, I'm not even good in anything, I can't speak clearly, I'm kinda literally mentally dumb and ion see me useful for anyone or anything, perhaps maybe God only, No business sense, no work skill or experience, no trade experiences to

I'm currently a Corp member serving and before then I rebelled against my parent cause they wanted to dictate the state I serve which is our state of residence so I go to my ppa from home but I told them No and even got to a fight to my Dad cause of this issue and we din speak for like 2weeks, he eventually called me and we settled. But the issue now is guys I've got less than two months left for my POP for service and you don't expect me to return home useless to my parent house again?? Tho sincerely thr my service year, I din touch my allowee so I've saved up to 270k so far. the issue is ask me what I want to do with the money? I've got no idea, what business sense or idea? Nothing is coming to my head, infact I don't know. The funny thing is, my roommate is exactly my opposite, very outspoken, bold, full of vibe and bring back different female friends each day, this guy is not really financially buoyant but you see girls cook and travel all the way to give him for us to eat. I just wish I was like him, i wish i had the vibe embarassed

I'm 24years now and at this age, no idea bout my future, bout life, I can't even relate with people, I'm just so sad, depressed and frustrated. At the moment the only job coming to my head is the military cause I served in a military barrack cause I choose it myself but most of the junior officers are trashing my interest by telling me not to waste my time say I no go survive am with my nature, that military needs tough people and endurance bla bla and on the other hand, my mum is saying Never she'll never allow me join the military not over her dead body and she's bout recruiting my Dad to and Sincerely I'm frustrated and my depression have taken another turn that over the past weeks I've been thinking suicide and it's getting really high, I say I should type this here bfr the worse happen cause if I can't be useful for myself what really is the point living??

Please this advice is to parent and intending parent/couples, pls and pls expose ur children to life, don't over pamper your kids, work on them to make them sociable and outspoken, I swear you'll be doing them a great favour. For me I thought my parent loved me, I thought they were trying to protect me but they've put me in a deep mess I have to face alone and just I pray I get the opportunity to make things right with me embarassed
The first step in solving your problem is to take responsibility and stop blaming your parents. Was it your parents that introduced you to porn? It wasn't your parents that made you weak. they protected you but you repay them with hate and blame.

Op I will advise you because I was once in your shoe but the only difference is that I never thought of suicide, even though I have been through a lot in life already but ThankGod for everything. First of all, go back to your family and apologise for your recent bad behaviour, then tell them your weakness, ask for their blessings and also ask them for a permission to start up a business, you can start by selling okrika or any other business within the range of that money, pos is also good. Start small, watch tough movies, go to church at least you will learn somethings that will help reshape your life. In life people will always hate you for whatever reason but know that we still have good people in the world and the opinion of bad majority doesn't count, try enrolling in gym centres or better still check YouTube for DIY gym tutorials, build your body and confidence will come from there also. Stay away from porn or self servicing. Keep your head high and walk like a king. Always find a way to disperse negative thoughts. Remain blessed.

Boohoo!! op . Boo fvcking hoo!.


* oh no , I'm from a relatively well off home and didn't have to work a day in my life.
* oh no, my parents love and care for me.

* oh no , I have 270k {werey) that I didn't have to work for either.


*oh no I wasn't allowed to stay in a place of rioting instead my parents took me back home where I'd be safe.

* oh no I'm shy and quiet-it must be my parents fault and I must punish them for it. ( you might be introverted, you spoilt dumb fvck)

*oh no ,my poor roommate has babes and me that has money doesn't- I must kill myself.( I just want deck you better slap)

* oh no I'm depressed because my life has been good and I did not face any tribulations at all. why God why?!



I just want to give op the slap his parents never gave him.


some of us had to scrounge to survive (introverted or not) we had to suppress our nature to eat.

some grew up in toxic abusive homes.

some have parents that abandoned them, that don't give a shit about them but of course they(we) move.




if you don't know what to do with the money,then you have no problems.
There are no real stakes for you concerning it.



if you cannot have a personality of your own ,my advice is for you to be a chameleon and mirror your environment.


I'm pretty much the same as you minus the codling and pampering. I'm super introverted, downright antisocial but I'm also a chameleon. I can change when the situation calls for it.

I'm quiet but I can be loud.
I'm shy but I can be outspoken
I'm depressed but I smile always.

you are the master of your sea , so act like it and quit the stupid blame game.

All you need is a good mindset and the right friends not just having friends ....am a lady and a beautiful one at that who dislike loud guys,I prefer an introvert as a boyfriend .the first step is to accept yourself for who you are ,don't live for others love yourself and take responsibility ,your parent did not put you in your present state ,your mindset did .my advise for you is to accept yourself for who you're ,study the world of God ..all God can give you wisdom to overcome the word not the way you're going about it. The bible says you should honour your parent so that your days will be long ....send me a private message so I can help you I have helped a lot of people

Young man, don't blame your parents for this. They actually meant well for you just that sometimes it doesn't work that way. Now that you have noticed that you have a problem, it is good and it is the beginning of the solution. If there is a problem and it is not noticed, then the problem will continue without solution, but in your case, the problem has been detected by you who is the principal, so the next thing you should worry about is how to figure out the solution and that is what you are doing perfectly well. So I will say you are on course.

What I will suggest for you now is that since you have been able to break loose from your parents grip by going to service away from them, next is to return home to them after and enroll for your Masters program so that you don't end up remaining in the house. This will help you continue brushing yourself up as you mix up with matured people at school and outside. Very important, keep away from crime, immorality as it will rubbish your efforts to recovery and sink you the more.
While on that, look towards taking up teaching job in any school to help you break loose from the fear to talk as the teaching job will turn you to a talkative but on a good side. It will also help you to be bold. Choose subjects you know you are good at and start from there. Never mind the poor salary you will be paid for now until you are better. I am counting on the fact that your parents will support you for a while.
Above all, put you life in God's care.

Good luck

The funny thing is, my roommate is exactly my opposite, very outspoken, bold, full of vibe and bring back different female friends each day, this guy is not really financially buoyant but you see girls cook and travel all the way to give him for us to eat. I just wish I was like him, i wish i had the vibe embarassed

I'm 24years now and at this age, no idea bout my future, bout life, I can't even relate with people, I'm just so sad, depressed and frustrated. At the moment the only job coming to my head is the military cause I served in a military barrack cause I choose it myself but most of the junior officers are trashing my interest by telling me not to waste my time say I no go survive am with my nature, that military needs tough people and endurance bla bla and on the other hand, my mum is saying Never she'll never allow me join the military not over her dead body and she's bout recruiting my Dad to and Sincerely I'm frustrated and my depression have taken another turn that over the past weeks I've been thinking suicide and it's getting really high, I say I should type this here bfr the worse happen cause if I can't be useful for myself what really is the point living??

Please this advice is to parent and intending parent/couples, pls and pls expose ur children to life, don't over pamper your kids, work on them to make them sociable and outspoken, I swear you'll be doing them a great favour. For me I thought my parent loved me, I thought they were trying to protect me but they've put me in a deep mess I have to face alone and just I pray I get the opportunity to make things right with me embarassed

I know exactly what you are going through and let me tell you this, it might feel good to lay the blame on your parents because it really is their parenting style that has brought you to this sorry state.

But here's the trick: don't blame them and don't even bother telling them that you blame them because they'll NEVER EVER understand and that could hurt you even more and drive you further down that depression path.

What I will prescribe is that you find something (ONE thing) that gives you a sense of purpose, whether it's a skill, trade or whatever. If you need to learn it from scratch, it's ok too.

Apply yourself to making a success of it, and put yourself out there, show up everyday. Slowly, you'll find your tribe or your tribe will find you. Don't worry too much about not having friends now, they can be overrated sometimes anyway.

You went through the Nigerian education system, that's requires GRIT; you went through the NYSC, so you cannot say you are not tough. You are letting other people's nonsensical idea of "tough" depress you.

Don't sweat the whole girlfriend thing. Trust me, you don't need that drama right now. Focus on you and on reconfiguring your mindset and everything else will follow.

Better later than never, right?

Goodluck

Whatever curse that came from the gift of loving U too much is the baggage life wants U to deal with. Figure it out properly. THIS IS THE BAGGAGE LIFE HAS HANDED OVER TO U FROM U BEING PRIVILEGED. HANDLE IT RIGHT KIDDO. U ARE DOING TOOO WELL IN MY OPINION

Go learn a skill, with that you'll mingle with people and also make friends, learn to associate with people but be wise enough to avoid bad company

Na your type been de disregard house boys and house girls. Treating them like animals due to what your parents made you believe they are. I can bet you still look down on people whom you feel are not in your class. Anyway, now that you know better, you have to forgive yourself break the yoke and relearn what have been passed down on your mentality. Break the chain and let nature work on you naturally.

Wow
That was a long read. I'm not really good at giving advise. So just take it as e dey come. grin

You and I have a lot common. I'm also the only son of my mum and dad. I lost my dad at a very young age which made my mum overly protective. I'm a year older than you and also Serving corps member. Corper wee


Anyways, Firstly, I want you to forgive your parents. Honestly hating/keeping malice with them won't solve any of the problem you're facing. It's a good thing that you're self aware of the issues you have. Where you got is wrong is what you're doing right whining and complaining like a b!tch. Work on yourself. You're still young and it's not late for you. You can become sociable bro but it's not going to happen overnight. It's good you were able to save a little, I'll advise you find a business that will make you engage with people on a regular basis. These will improve your social skills in no time. Try to also work on your mindset as well as your esteem. If you're religious, find a church and join their workforce. If you can afford it go to the gym. DESIST FROM PORNOGRAPHY AND MASTURBATION. It will ruin your esteem and fuçk with your mental health. For now stay away from relationship. Just try to be friends with everyone till you begin to see positive change in your social life. In everything you do stop b!tchin. Get to work
best advice... and OP you should take it.
I was on this table too 2-3/4 years ago but I was quick to jump out quite early.
to send a strong message, I kept away from home for a year. Though my self esteem wasn't affected like yours. hit the gym, it boosts confidence. like this guy said, find a church and join the work force. I would have also added that you hit the club twice a month but you might get addicted to absorbed into the silly lifestyle that comes with it, so just take the advise of this dude I'm quoting.

Why do young people of nowadays always try to blame someone else for their inefficiencies? They never want to take responsibility for their actions. It always has to be someone else's fault, but not theirs

Your parents may have been over protective, but they loved you. They didn't lock you up in a cage. You were not the only child, you went to primary school, secondary school, university, and now a corps member. These were opportunities for you create friendships or acquaintances. These opportunities were not prevented by your parents.

What I see here is an introverted young man, with a hint of shyness. It is just your nature. And there's nothing bad in it. You just need find a way to curtail the shyness. Another person in your position could have decided to take up selling to customers when allowed into mom's shop. But you didn't.

Being an introvert means you will only have a small group of trusted friends. There would always be someone out there who understands you, be it a gent or a female. But please, don't try to force friendship on people. They'll just use you.

All you need is a good mindset and the right friends not just having friends ....am a lady and a beautiful one at that who dislike loud guys,I prefer an introvert as a boyfriend .the first step is to accept yourself for who you are ,don't live for others love yourself and take responsibility ,your parent did not put you in your present state ,your mindset did .my advise for you is to accept yourself for who you're ,study the world of God ..all God can give you wisdom to overcome the word not the way you're going about it. The bible says you should honour your parent so that your days will be long ....send me a private message so I can help you I have helped a lot of people

Can therapy work for me?? isn't it to late at 24years of age?? I just finished calling mum now and accused her of everything that has happened to me, I told her I don't want to hear from her, not anytime soon. I've tried calling my Dad to but his line is switch off, I just wanna cut both of them off, They put me in this mess that I have to fight alone now embarassed
I for say come my side come learn work but this one wey small street OT you no get be like even small girls of 12 years go dey use you shine o cheesy

Your parents really did you a bad one. But don't hate them for that. Could be lack of exposure that made them overdo

Its up to you to step up. At 24 you still young and alot could happen before you even clock 25 so no big deal there.

Start with this book

Hmm this is a sad post... I suggest you would start 2023 by avoiding this extreme blaming on how your parents raised you and start to assume and build your own self. This is what really matters no matter how you despite them. We are victims of some things until we become masters of our own goals and dreams.

Go to therapy to help with social interactions and sit down with your parents and be honest with them. You need to clear the air otherwise you will hate them forever

You're the one who is not serious yourself. That 1 year at nysc should be enough to turn things around for yourself. But there are you asking for advise less than 3 months to spend there. Anyways, wish you best of luck.
Check his profile, same person created a thread here about buying plenty onions for N200 during his service in Bauchi 2years ago, yet he created another thread claiming he has three months to end of NYSC, I wonder if NYSC has been on strike since 2020/2021 too?
To think I bumped into this discovery when I wanted quoting him on a dead thread just to offer assistance left me disgusted.

Forgive your parents bro. Give your life to Christ. Attend a good fellowship and God will help you. Pls don't join military. It is Satan that is giving you that idea.
