Well,i don't think i have self esteem issues.but i'm like the most 'introverted loner',but when i drink i'm more likely to take risk and talk to people.i'm most definitely not saying shyness is an excuse to drink...but it helps me feel more relaxed and at ease when i'm around alot of people i don't know.
Okay then, my advise is that you should always be yourself (natural) and please stay away from alcohol. #OneLove

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?

nice 1. I'm more of an electronics and micrococontrollers lover/programmer. I love electronics, softwares development and computers than any woman.

My undergrad was on the oil sector. But after coming bck from my Msc(it was on energy management) ., it is now tilted to trading it, in form of stocks and futures. Presently using fx to learn it since futures involves huge capital. After this stage, i will have to work or intern in a consulting firm, so has to ve contacts.. The goal for me is to be a fund manager of energy products someday.. Not easy, but i've gone too far to give up. wink

#IntrovertFact.
Majority of introverts have hard time uploading their pics on social network.

Preach guy, preach!

These extroverts would never understand that.

Wow, a set of people who don't always ask : why are you alone, don't you have friends? And don't always act like you're weird or weak or stu.pid cuz u don't talk much.

Ive been seriously trying to be an extrovert, mostly cuz at my university people, especially in the hostel, act like your life is over or you're mentally insane if you're not all over d place or communicating often with others. Don't know if this is everywhere though . I think I'm almost there to an extent

I will consider myself a really weird introvert. While I barely have any friend, I find it absolutely easy making friends. I relate with people well. Keeping the relationship going is just the p. Funny thing is I'n the PR officer of my fellowship. Being an introvert can lead to depression so you gotta just know how to cope with it. Reading, writing, drawing and playing the piano does it well for me. As much as I wish sometimes to live an outgoing and sociable life, its really a pain, but I sure know how to blend. An introvert can be something else in the presence of people he loves or trusts. Understanding is really crucial.

Seeing new user handles making posts, It's a thing of joy.
Our priority is to understand ourselves better, by sharing good tips. I've learnt alot and i know there's more to learn..
I realize from 9pm to 11:30pm, the group seems to be more active. My observation though.

Welcome everyone. And pls lets know you as @iamayodeji suggested.

Thanks for sharing. If i'm not wrong, from what i read from ur comment, are u making a move to become extroverted? ... For i know it is possible but the probability is quite low. The core of the matter is happiness. If u ll be more happy, i encourage u if u can. smiley

If I can't just be an extrovert at the end of the day I'll just stop trying. No matter what anybody says it just doesn't define me. I have decided that they can't possibly understand smiley

My ideal future..

A house in the white sand shores of an island with beach palm trees. A wooden constructed home where cares of security are thrown away. A laptop with internet to sometimes keep in touch with the happenings of the World and for business purpose.
Oh, i can imagine the chilly night with cool breeze.
Ofcourse, i'm not letting out my future halve in this fantasy. grin and A beautiful daughter. u may ask why one.. But i ll say i love to center my rays of love on just one, so i can give my very all..

This is no mere fantasy, i'm working very hard to achieving it. And it ll come true wink

U can share yours, so i can get some ideas to add to mine. Since mine is still in the working.

Pics below..

Note: you may see it as too big a dream but it is not. I can learn carpentry to save cost. Barbados, bahamas re on the list due to security and i had to close to nothing on tax. A part in calabar actually ve good security and close to the sea, forgotten d name.

Felt i should share.. Is just part of my introvert dream.. grin

Is there anyone who has been able to overcome problem of maintaining conversation for long and stage fright? It'd be nice if you share how you were able to overcome that.


I think this should extend to every other common issues like being shy e.t.c. Instead of just sharing our problems we should also help ourselves overcome it. If the Op can rename the thread to Introverts support group I think that'd be better what do you guys think?


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

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...
