ladywriter:Thank you. |
ladywriter:I need your help. I registered an account with Freelancer 2 years back but abandoned it. However, when I saw this thread, I decided to go back and update my profile. Right now, United Kingdom is automatically selected as my country of residence and I can't seem to change it. Do you know anyway I can change it to Nigeria or would it not affect me if I leave it like that? |
Krysstie:Thanks |
Krysstie:you said something about guest writing in your post which got my attention. do you know any person/website that need articles to be written by a guest writer without paying. if you do, kindly let me know. I want to do some pro bono work soon... |

You always like to spend time alone as you prefer to focus on your inner world. People may think your living style is boring but actually you enjoy yourself so much. You may not be shy, but you think having a few best friends is better than having a bunch of Facebook friends. Share answer in F |
Olarewajub:Getting back might be a good idea. I have been so busy I find it difficult to update the diary... And thanks for viewing... |
Olarewajub:I haven't seen the like. Maybe you point that part out so I continue... Meanwhile, blublahd has raised a vital issue. I think the discussion here should be multifaceted. Let's talk about books, current event in the world, particularly nigeria, work, education etc., to make this lounge more educative. At this stage, we all know this is a gathering of introverts, so let's expand the scope of things we discuss. |
Disneyboy:Ur welcome... lotta space to accommodate u... |
Hello everyone. Hope ur all enjoying your weekend. I plan to dedicate this weekend to reading. Probably some classics I've been wanting to read for some time. |
iamayodeji:I have read that book like two times and still plan to re-read it. The part that gets me every time I read it is where Introverts are forced to develop and exhibit extrovert characteristics. One thing I hate and I'm still trying to hate it more is small talk. It just wastes my time and make me feel empty. And that is mostly what extroverted people want almost all the time. Such shame. |
MarilynNash:Sweating, trembling and particularly stammering does not really translate to having SAD. Maybe you are reading too much into the article and your own experiences. Sometimes when you worry about some things, you tend to read into other things that have a link to those things. I do stammer and sometimes tremble when I'm talking with people, but I'm very normal. It happens a lot when I'm with strangers. What I do is to sit down, take a deep breath and stay in a relaxed state for a minute or two. After that, I'm back to normal. You can try that too. Just try to be yourself anytime you find yourself in such situation. You should only worry if these things distrupt your daily activities or if they prevent you from achieving your goals. |
[quote aauthor=angieberry post=35073688]Hello wallflowers, So, I have a brief question. Does it ever happen to you that sometimes you don't feel like talking to anyone, you don't take calls, you don't reply messages, you just ignore everyone? I go through this phase sometimes, but it never lasts as long as I'm having it now. This is the seventh day. I'm not depressed or sad or anything, but the thought of actually talking to someone irritates me or seems like a chore. I know it's a bad habit as people may have been trying to reach me to no avail but I can't just help it. Does anyone else experience this? How do I break this habit? Does it have anything to do with being a recluse? Olarewajub can you answer?[/quote]i think this sometimes happen do to an event that has happened in the the past. i sometimes experience this. when im hurt by someone, i just try to break away from ppl for sometime. i think MOST introvert dont have the strength to hurt ppl, so when they are hurt, they try to withdraw from ppl. however, since u stated that ur not sad or anything, it means u just chose be in that state. since its a thing of the mind, i advice you take action everytime you experience this. just pick up your phone, call ur mum or dad or brother or sister, and tell them u have missed them. just brace up and reply those messages and cheer. thank God u know its a bad habit . so break it by reply those messages, calls, talk to ur family. JUST DO IT My opinion... |
hemor:Practice is the best way to conqueur stage fright. try to create a situation where you can talk in front of people. your friends can help you in this. you can start with two of them and then move on. let me share two examples with you: 1. i had stage fright when i was in 100lv in school. fortunately, i was made classrep of a large course (ecn 101) and there are about five departments offering the course. every time i need to announce something, i will just climb the podium (despite being afraid to the point of shaking) and make the announcement with a shaky voice, and even sweating. i do this while face hundreds of faces, although ALWAYS SWEATING. I MAKE SURE I DO THIS WITH AS MUCH CONVIDENCE I CAN GATHER. However, with time and constant practice, i can not only face the crowd and talk, i can also deliver a tutorial to crowd. if you read QUIET by Susan Cain, you will find the same pattern. 2. last semester, i did a course and the lecture gave a group of us a topic to research and present. i was the leader of my group and was asked to present. what i did: when the doc to present was ready, i took home a copy and read it severally. when i got back to school, i asked my group to gather so presented to them twice or so. later, i presente to my close friends at the hostel and again at school. the result: i made a superb presentation on the DDAY. MORAL: make sure u are well prepared (be very familiar with the topic you want to dicuss) and PRACTICE, PRACTICE, AND PRACTICE ONCE MORE |
Hi all, I think it's good being able to express myself freely here. I remember my first experience at being an introvert: I was taken to a party when I was very young. At the end of the party, all members of my family were taking pics together and I was called to join. I just hid in one corner just staring blankly at them and refused to join them until it is time to go home. I hate parties (except if it is family party) as much as I hate taking pics. I also remember the first time I presented in my class. Contrary to what I have read here, I actually wow the whole class taking applauds intermitently as I move on. I think being able to sit alone and plan, practice endlessly is part of what helped me. I also enjoy the curious looks I get from people. They are probably wondering what I'm thinking... :p |
