Let us share how our introversion has saved us from a big catastrophes?



For me, i would have involve myself in a lot of fight, but i was able to control myself. And also , my introversion has prevented me from making some derogatory statement which would have jeopardize my integrity. Some times its better to be slow to speech.

Its a known fact that Introverts do not like to keep contact with a lot of persons except close pals. So your attitude is quite normal for an introvert. Never feel sorry for your self because your unable to connect with every body, it's just exhausting. Anybody way you can try the Hi with those around you and just try to be humble in your owners way.

Sound boring?? We are actually boring. Very boring!
I've started learning how to keep conversations going. I chat very well online nowadays, but offline conversations are still below what I want.

Yes I agree with you. The best method is try and become comfortable with those around associated this will make you to be at ease where around them. When initiating a conversation that is engaging. Most introverts are talkatives. This may not work when meeting people for the first time.

We're actually not boring when around with people we have a mutual relationship with.

As introvert is an advantage to me staying out of bad company, where I stay people talk about being like me because am the only simple and gentle guy around.
Sometimes the temptation of being someone else arises like breaking bottle as rugged as mad to fight in public but no matter what I still calm down and people take it as my weakness.

The aim of this Lounge is to know our strength and weakness as introverts so that we'll be able to compete and cause positive changes in our (extroverted) society. For example, if you are shy, you can ask other introverts here about tips to overcome timidity, and also for anyone currently faced with any challenge, we can all support and see how to assist that individual by proffering solutions and lots of other benefits . It's a pity that majority of the introverts that have been to the Lounge just come here to announce their introversion and leave, thereby making the Lounge aimless and pointless . I'm still thinking on how to solve this menace. Got any idea?

Re: Introverts Lounge (Extroverts Pls Keep Off !!) by Olarewajub: 8:33pm On Jun 03, 2016

Good to know.

While in school, did your introversion deprived you from achieving some certain things?

WOW! Sorry about your experience. On leadership, Introverts usually do not volunteer for such positions unless thrusted upon which they tend to perform excellently.
Those ladies who gave you green light, you would have atleast friend zoned them. It is well.

I know you are better and stronger now.

We're actually not boring when around with people we have a mutual relationship with.

Can I be able to talk to you on phone Olarewajub?

I feel like am boring because I don't talk too much. I find it so difficult to relate with people and find a common ground. Even when I see people talking I don't really join the conversation because I don't know what to say. Most times I tend to avoid the conversation because I can't even keep a conversation going. Even when I eventually join the conversation and starts talking I feel like am unable to express myself in correct English. I have spoken to my family members and they are so surprised that I find it difficult to speak correct English.

I am almost 22 years old and It has been over four years since I had a girlfriend. Right now I don't even have a close female friend. I don't even know what to tell a lady or how to be creative when talking with a lady both online and offline.

I have tried reading books and watching television but I always fall asleep when I pick a book to read or try to watch a show. I wonder why I go to sleep so early by 6:00 PM and even when I wake up by 3:00 AM and try to read or maybe do a research online I start feeling sleepy. I know something is wrong with me but I don't know what.

Right now I lack direction and motivation. I have low confidence and low self esteem. I am even thinking of giving up on life. How can I get my life back on track?

how can I possibly increase my vocabulary and speak more fluently?
I tried watching some movies but most times I don't understand what is going on until the end and I always find it difficult to recall the exact words used by the actors. Can something be possibly wrong with my memory? Sometimes somebody can tell me their names and within five minutes I have already forgotten their names. Is there a proven way I can expand my memory and be able to think like a grown adult?

What Can I do to improve my basic conversational skills? When I see two coworkers talking and laughing I begin to wonder why I can't get my fellow coworkers to open up to me. Everyone thinks I am stupid because I can't really talk. Everyone I know can speak English correctly why am I finding it difficult to speak correct English?

My Self esteem is so badly damaged and I am so lost where do I start?
