Right from when i was a kid, i was forced to stay indoor when my peers were outdoor having fun. I was flogged everytime i tried to sneak out.
In the journey of life, i'hv learnt to be lonely.
1 When i was in primary level, i was a fighter in the class and later became violent. I cant count the numbers of pupils shirt i'hv torn. I was really poor academically.
2 In high school, my mates had besties, girlfriends, friends etc. But i had none. This time i became less violent but very harsh and mean in my words. When others went for sports and social clubs, i always hid myself under the school's basement.
3 In my adolescence period, i entered university of which i am still in currently. I had a place of work. And my boss always complain to my parents why i love to be silent at work and prevent smiling always. I guess i am just tough inside but not outside.
The same parents who me locked up indoor in my childhood. Are now begging to be interactive and be associative. Is it not too late?

Don't worry
You are still a kid not age wise though
When maturity sets in or life show you shege enh, you will come out from that shell

Dude there's nothing wrong with you oh, our experiences while growing up shapes our personalities in life, i am also similar to you, kind of reserved okay i don't even smile except when am joking or making fun of someone.
On the street i frown 24/7
If i want to quarrel /fight here my voice will be very high at the top of the roof like a market woman but mist times am silent.
I am like a TV if you want i can high the volume or low it for you depending on which leg you bring to me.
I don't even know weda im introvert abi extrovert or in between.

The choice is always yours how you want to live through this world.
If you want to be happy or miserable, you have the choice.
Choose wisely without sentiment!

All your parents did in your formative years was to train you and keep you away from problems

Now stop blaming them, you are now facing life and the world you are in

The change is you, get a girlfriend to start interacting with

Get a girlfriend to be your companion

If you don't, you may have issues when you want to settle down

If you are still a virgin, help yourself

If you are no longer a virgin then you are the cause of all these problems if not how did you break it without having a friend

My 2 cents.

1. Don't blame your parents; they can only give what they have. And as we grow up, we realize that they're not perfect and were also learning along the way.

2. Realize that you have all you need to become whom you want to become. You just need to read the right books and watch the correct videos on your area of interest and human interaction and you'll grow your confidence as you get COMPETENT in your field. Remember the biggest way to build confidence as a man is to get COMPETENT in whatever you're doing.

3. Try working out. It'll boost your confidence and help you interact with people as well.

4. Face your fears. Try public speaking. Many times, those areas we have the most resistance turn out to be where out greatest strengths and breakthroughs lie.

5. Ask God for help. 1st Timothy 1:7... Make that scripture your daily confession and watch it change your life.
