Damn! I did not even know that the story ended long time ago and I am here ranting.
Infant, wherever you are, God bless you. ALL THE INTROVERTS in the house, let us not allow this thread die off like that. Let's encourage each other with our regrets, fears, passions, lovelife and our quotidian events. Probably, one of us will one day be like Christian; I will proudly leave that comfort zone and experience outside reality.
I have so many abadoned project[literary works], stopped drawing cause I thought I couldn't do better, never used my singing skill in public except in the room or the bathroom[ though I have chosen to be a music blogger instead cause I am a sucker for it]. Have been single all my life, except for the times some lady decided to upgrade my status. Besides, I love here, I can sell Nigeria for you, but the serious countenance and action I always keep will never make you believe I can love.
There are more I would like to share with y'all if you are interested just quote me.
INFANT BABA, NA U GO BE OUR MODERATOR.
My moniker was as a result of my dull and odious life.

Op more oil to your brain.
shy INTROVERTS are just miserable

Twenty47:
Following my experience and the one am getting on this thread,i've come to notice that,most of this shy guys are usually brilliant and smart.
Pls,am not saying being shy is a good thing because it has and is still affecting me in many ways but am just thinking out loud.

I think you mean introverts not shy guys. Introverts are logical and calculative thinkers, men of few words but always on point. They are emotional, but they always allow reasoning cloud their judgment.

The first time I tried to woo a girl was quite embarrassing lol, I was 15 then and I was sitting for waec GCE.
In my center there was this girl, she was very attractive and she looked older than I was.
So one day after we were done with the day's paper
I was walking with two of my friends, and I signaled to them when i saw her entering a classroom
I was like "guys look at that girl, that's my crush"
One of them says I should go meet her and ask her number, the other one said I shouldn't waste my time she won't give me her number.


"kai you have killed yourself see the way you are shaking you shouldn't have done this" I said to myself.

The girl noticed my condition I think and asked me for the paid
I said yes
"where is it?" the owner of the phone said taking the phone from me.
"You didn't
"Wait lemme ask her" I said as i went into the class again
One of them said behind
"Chineke, so you don't know her name"
I entered the classroom she was still with her phone

"Sorry I didn't get your name"
"Chinaza" she said

I didn't introduce myself cause I didn't know it was the right thing to do, I just left her.

Outside the dude who owns the phone didn't want to release the number, I just let him have since I wasn't going to call her anyways, but I started dodging her ever since.



My friends say I always have a story for everything, but I wouldn't have if I don't experience them.

when you said the first day you tried wooing a lady was very embarassing, I tried picturing you probably stammering.
Bro, I have been a shy guy since 10[don't know why it happened so, I guess it was because of the death of my dad] though I always concealed it with a straight face. In my Jss1 days, I would always do all my best to evade my class captain who I had a crush on-- never mind taking long routes just to make sure we didn't see each other, funnily enough, she never knew I existed.
In my Sss2, I had a crush on a girl whose picture I saw in our church magazine. Like always, I tried to evade her whenever I saw her and likewise, she never knew me. I ended up carrying the torch for her for complete 2 years and the day I decided to man up and approach her at the behest of my friends, I blamed my ancestors.
After walking behind her for some minutes, I moved closer and said 'hi', she responded, I can't really remember the banter that ensued, but I remember for sure, that at a point, I started stuttering and this girl tried suppressing her laughter but she unable to hold it, so she had to LOL. Honestly, if I had a gun at that moment, I would have ended my life. As she was laughing, I discovered that I was still alive and unscathed, from no where, I got courage and I ended up talking with her, but that single act marred everything. After then, whenever I saw her, I always kept a straight face.
In my first year in uni, I made a good result which actually actracted the most beautiful and curvy lady in my dpt to me, though I think she had always liked me even though we never had any contact. 'A whole me', I wondered. To be honest with y'all [am shy to say this], she approached me, collected my number and called me. As time passed, she insisted on going to my place but I always gave her 1 excuse or another until the day my village people remembered me. A friend invited me to his elder bro's birthday where I drank myself under the table. Being on cloud 9ne, I called her and started reprimanding her for not visiting me, apparently, she knew I am a shy guy and that I was drunk. So she pleaded with my friends to take good care of me. The next day, I remembered what I had done, but I couldn't stay back at home because I was dam.n serious with studies then. Devil is indeed mischievious bro, that WAS THE DAY I WAS RAPED. Chai.

I had so many yanshing op2nitis right in my room, but I was just too stupid and foolish to initiate anyone until one bold girl came and used[seks everyday except on holidays] me for a whole year until I was able to free myself from the bondage and started seks starving myself, sometimes, I jerk off.
Truth is, telling people you are shy helps a lot.
Am a serving corp member teaching in 1 fed govt college here in Nigeria. How I am able to do this[teach] is a decision I made. Taking those actions you dread most is the only solution.
Though am still single now, I must make sure I fill that space soon.

But Op, you are goot at impromptu lying and for y'all looking for errors why not turn a movie critic and at least help our movie industry or don't y'all know what we call SUSPENSION OF DISBELIEF.
