A lot of introverts are on Nairaland. You will know them by their posts. I remember when someone on this thread posted about introverts:

You have a valid point about parental influence on a child being an introvert. On the other side, have you noticed that many Nigerians follow the crowd? They go with trends and they don't have a mind of their own. I am not saying being an introvert means you have sense but I think the other side of letting kids be also has its detrimental effect on you as an individual. Instead of learning from books, experiences, listening to others and all that, you experiment yourself or you learn from your peers, who don't know better. Children want to grow up fast and behave like adults but some of the things they do will cause them fatal mistakes in life. Like when you see girls gone astray, why do people always ask 'where is the father/mother'? It's because they know that the world is not as it seems but the child is in a hurry to see the deceit of outside world. Look at the kids of today learning from the internet, they are not able to think on their own, they have the stress of the outside world which is technology.
You don't realize until later on in life that you have never made decisions on your own, you always needed validation of the outside world, your friends or external to make decisions. You don't have your own convictions. YOU are not doing what you really want to do in life, you are doing what society wants. Some people only discover this in their 40s that they have not been living their own lives. Why do you think the Japanese Samurai and other disciplines focus on listening to yourself? Many of us grow up as adults then realize that we only needed 1 or 2 friends in life, not the whole class. We start to see the peace of mind having less people does. LESS people, LESS drama.


There are some points for me that I want such kids who are adults now to respond to:
1. As a parent yourself now, do you think that you now understand why your parents kept you away from the outside crowd?
2. Will you do the same thing to your kids albeit in a different way?
3. As an adult, do you think being raised that way helped your life today?


PS: this thread proves that there are adults on this forum even though most topics because of FP gets taken over by clowns and political lackeys.

DarkJeddi:
And how would you know that?

yemmit90:
Majority of introvert are talkative, just that they only do that with people that close to them. Your no.2, say it all.

Introvert don't intentionally gives people the impression that they are dumb, people often see them as ones due to their reserved personality, and it pains them alot.

Every introvert wish they are not.

mariahAngel:
For someone who is outspoken and expressive, it is [for lack of the perfect word] dangerous to always have someone with those traits around you.

I'm of the opinion that introverts/less expressive/non expressive people deserve their kind.

Ah! Especially that first point,

You have said it all.

1. We hate unannounced visitors with passion.

2. People think we're boring, when we can be a lot fun when we're with the people we're close to.

3. Socializing is another challenge.

4. We like giving people the impression that we're dumb, when we're a lot more smarter than they think.

5. We talk less and listen more.

6. Sometimes we would just look at you and argue with you with our thoughts without saying a single word.

7. There are also times where we just want to be alone, not because we're upset, but because we just feel like it.

8. We're sensitive to noise.

9. We can be more active online than in real life.

10. We're lovers and not haters.

Exceed15:
U no be introvert... They don't brag

EmperorCaesar:


They werent born that way. They were molded into this right from their pre-puberty years(A different background would have made them a different person entirely)

More often that not, they are mostly people that grew up in a religious or a more modest/conservative home with strict parenting well into their early 20s


I can argue till the end of time that being an introvert is the ultimate version of any human. I struggle to understand whats fun and lively about being the opposite

God1000:
Growing up in a world that often values the loudest voices, introversion can be misunderstood

It’s not about being anti-social or shy; it’s about how we recharge our mental and emotional energy

The ability to listen, to observe, to reflect. These are the gifts of introversion. We see the world in layers, in depth. We listen not just to respond, but to understand. We reflect on experiences, extracting wisdom from even the simplest moments.

Greenlandz:
80 percent of nairalanders are introverts including me . A chronic one at that.

Factcheck0001:

Infact I put on earpiece/headset even when I am not listening to music so people won't want to talk to me

I like my privacy n I even hate crowd n I don't like taking pictures too.

D picture on my FB page have been there for d past 6 years

cezarman:
Never knew about this day sha...

Everybody will start claiming introvert now.

Introverts are Dope... And silently strong headed

kingbee90:
The less people you chill with, the less drama you deal with.

We RULE!!!

Hisroyalbadmeat:
Loot one introvert banny that year,in her apartment, very lovely Soul, truly I no deserve her, but then ship must sail,

Basildvalour:
I hold meetings with myself and plan how to grow my company all by myself.

The company itself is still being conceived and "we" are putting finishing touches before we roll it out.

DarkJeddi:
Nothing is black and white in real life..

Being an Introvert doesn't preclude other traits,just like anyone else..

popo1494:
From experience:

Their good side

They’re usually brilliant in thinking

They hardly forgets incidents even for decades

They’re anti volumes

Many of them actually knows more than people think they know and the most surprising thing is they’ll not showcase it until conditions warrant

Their bad side

They can hold your offense for mind for many years and avenge even when you think it’s all aged past
