Being an introvert in a crowded environment is quite tough though.

I grew up in ghetto-like area(you can google it "oke aro, akure" ) . In a face me and face you apartment, where you are bound to encounter dramatic folks with condescending attitude. An environment where shouting remains the order of the day. Oftentimes, being calm is mistaken for cowardice. Introverts like myself tend to face more intimidation and confrontation unlike our extroverted counterparts. To protect your interest and integrity, you need a very loud voice and more of aggressive characters. I am not the noisy type, I cherish my calmness a lot. Most times, I had to crawl out of my "shell" to repaint my boarder line to avoid reckless and unnecessary tress-pass. Sh!t was crazy!

Also, I hate being preached at if "stepping out of your comfort zone" is the topic. Like why on earth should I step out of my comfort zone? The home of my thoughts, imaginations, mental projections and all. It would be unnatural of me to walk out on them. I feel much safer in my zone likewise minding my own business is exhilarating. In a nutshell, I'm stuck in this zone forever.if you don't like it, it's either you move or I move you. Ain't gat no time for your BS! I just gained admission into university this year though we are yet to resume. My brother told me I have to 'expand' my comfort zone in order to enjoy campus life and I'm like "well, let's wait and see first".

Recently, I noticed I'm drastically backsliding in my faith - Christianity. Religion is gradually losing its grip on me. A whole me, a choir member and a bible-quiz representative. Shoutout to Hahn, Capslocked, 1stsonoflucifer, hopefullandlord, Martinez19 and their realistic posts. These guys no dey fear God o I'm very discreet about it till God knows when.

Finally, I'm glad I am becoming more established in the understanding of my natural make-up and permanent reality of life. And I'm keeping it 100. I won't compromise my realness for any parental, social or religious conformity.

Because this is my nature. This is who I simply am - An introvert!

UyiIredia:
I believe God as people generally know. Creator of the universe, omnipotent and omniscient, eternal etc. But I just can't accept there is no God. It doesn't make sense to me, though I see why atheists accept it. I read on it and there was an influence. Deists like atheists reject religious belief that Hod has this guy you must worship, or set or moral laws he has revealed must be followed. etc. There is nuance there because some deists accepts things in religion like miracles, supernatural stuff etc. what they DON'T do is say God sanctioned it for everyone to follow.

No God means no God, and then no religion, exceptones that don't bother about God.

What purpose does deism serve to you or humanity at large?

Trust politicians at your own peril.

So when is your real birthday?

*in lilwayne voice*


I gat rice on my plate, egg stew and fries
Indomie pack, hungry-man size
I dream of land full of grapes, where corn germinate
You keep the sunshine, save me the rain
I work, to upgrade my life
Strive, to train my child
Farming is my pride
It's hard, but we gon survive
And it's worse coz herdsmen like, to cause havoc on farms
The government ear deafens, the more that I cry
Farmers get fewer, and cows get bigger
Tryna save my land from grazing, no room for a nigga
But soon for a nigga, it be war murderfocker
cause all these herdsmen be spilling blood murderfocker



To farmers and everyone who lost their lives to herdsmen atrocities, may your souls rest in peace.

The crenkarious brouhaha the APC as a fermented body is excruciating is somewhat ridiculous and undeniably consequential. It is needful to say that in all ramifications and from all indications, this political mammalian body has failed the peripherals of the nation, Nigeria. Quod Eran Demonstrandum

I fully agree with you bro. But as for depression I feel it turns tragic (fatal - like these thoughts of committing suicide) when you keep it to yourself. The key is to reach out and stay connected.
-look for support from people who make you feel safe and cared for
-Try limiting being alone (keep up with social activities even if you don't feel like it)
-Get a pet (like a dog - trust me this works)
- Most importantly they should try seeing a trained medical professional in the field of psycho-therapy

Like Etisalat, now you are talking!

efesodje:
Only weaklings think of committing suicide.

Ask yourself why those unfortunate ones with no homes and jobs that live under the bridges in Lagos are not committing suicide but roughing it out everyday for their daily bread. This life is for the strong.

There is difference between depression and poverty. No man has power over depression.
