I only have one friend in the world who I share things.

I have turned down countless friendship attempts by others. That way, I enjoy my peace and quiet.
When you meet Nigerians for the first time, they like to interrogate and get all info about you.

The Op is actually 100% on point.

In addition, people in general do not know how to listen. They have ears that hear very well, but seldom have they acquired the necessary aural skills which would allow those ears to be used effectively for what is called listening.”

Lastly, they are gifted with more than information to judge unfairly.

It's quite annoying seeing people that share every damn thing about them and family on social media.

True

Only introverts like me will understand everything said above....

Typical Nigerians are extroverts (always seeking for attention) and noise makers... They like showing off, which most of the time puts them (and their family) in big trouble.

Lagosians are annoyingly too nosey and intrusive, doesn't matter if you share or not , as long as you worked or lived in a place for over a week , they will worm and wriggle their way into your affairs.

People can only kill what they know!

Don't disclose your weakness, you may get fake sympathizers who would use the information against you in the future

Sometimes other people's ideas also matters

Seeking for safe space can provide individuals with privacy, reduced stress, self-sufficiency, and freedom, but it can also lead to loneliness, lack of social support, limited opportunities, and stigma. Whether living in seclusion is beneficial or not depends on the individual's personality, needs, and goals.

You just need to find a balance Op. Research has consistently shown that the biggest drawbacks of living in seclusion is loneliness, which can have negative effects on mental and physical health.

I laugh when I read this type of article about not sharing things about yourself.

You can share a good amount of things about yourself to people who care to listen and still maintain a healthy self esteem.

The world is bad and full of negative people but not as bad as people portray it. The amount of good people out there surpass the bad ones.

This is how people keep quiet and die in silence. Their moto is "Don't tell people about yourself"

First surround yourself with good people, and then tell the good people as much as possible. Africans are not wired to live keeping our mouth shut about ourselves or problems

Avoid see finish!

Never buy garri and Sugar + Groundnut in the same place!
