Don't be surprised, most of these people who talk more online - Nairaland and Facebook - are actually introverts.

Inanna:

Rorachy:
I don't like hanging out with many people like crowd. I love my quiet time.

I frigging hate parties.... programming is a solace.

immediately after secondary school I just disappeared. I all my mates have no idea where to find me. I didn't get any one's contacts. just one or two.

lol, funny enough we all have same issues, work on it, try to force yourself out of your shell until it becomes part of you, countless opportunities has been missed because of this lifestyle of ours, The light in you is not meant to be kept under the roof, or at your bed of comfort. Shine your light for all to see, never allow anyone to dull your sparkle, we are all destined to be great in life but all this pose as limitations on our way, so I urge everyone to comeout, shine your light, explore the world, conquer more territories and broaden your horizon!
#peace

thank u for this

pryme:
i think my challenge as an introvert is that i think too much.
Pay too much attention to the little things.

U have OCD

Cleopatra4:
I find it difficult to make friends...
When I do I just snub them just like that.
People think say I get pride but Na lie I'm one of the most simple person on earth.
Just the introvert thing

okay can we be friends? Snubbing tins as expected!

SPEEDEPITOME:
I do not like meeting people. I don't bother starting friendship with anyone coz I'm scared it'll end very soon as I don't have what it takes to sustain it. I'm not in touch with any of my secondary school friends- I just connected with two recently and I'm bored already.
I have not attended any party since 2010! I'm scared of going out - Agoraphobia ish. I can stay home for weeks and not complain. My friend helped me improve a bit when I was in school.
Funny thing is, I'm not shy, I can face the whole of Nigerian and talk. When I manage to get out I can be playful and all but if you try to come close, I just shut you out. I don taya.
I don't have a large circle. Even on social media, I screen my friends list at every opportunity I get.
The good part of me, I'm a good conversationalist.

There are things involved here and the op failed to differentiate them
1. Been an introvert
2. Been shy
3. Not been out spoken.

You are a victim of Just one, the major threat of been an introvert is they are easily bored and Many of them are realist, the world doesn't really like realists, so you end up losing friends as an introvert. You need to marry an extrovert who is shy but outspoken to balance your relationship. Udo

feyiflutist:
introverts I am dating one and it is not funny. I am even thinking of breaking up with him.

Please don't rather try to encourage him to work on his flaw(s)

wins18:
lol, we are just being programmed differently by our creator, we are nice people to be with though, just that people don't understand us, sometimes they mistake our silence mood to keeping malice or...something. some people say we are weird, maybe they are right though.

They mistake it for PRIDE o

wins18:
Being an introvert comes with some down sides, as an introvert I have my own challenges or should I call it excesses lol.
I miss my chances on getting that pretty crush of mine, I fear rejection and I am yet to device a means of handling such when it occurs, even though when the green light is at its peak.
Another one is that I find it hard to maintain closer relationship with people, they complain I don't call them, truth is I prefer texting instead.
Share yours too lets know ourselves better.

@ OP..introvert + extrovert + anyvert..na as holy spirit bring am I dey do..

Exactly....

I hate people. I am indoorsy, I barely go out. I prefer being home with a few close acquaintances than being in a crowd. I avoid people. People think I'm weird and I think that's a compliment. I love my solitude, it's addictive.

90 percent of them are introverts but some are shy and some are not outspoken outside the internet

I don't even know what I am sef and I still dgaf

You people should disown me now oo... I don't wanna be like you. Lol.


Anyone here hate people who show off?? I can't stand dem!

why would you inconvenience yourself becuz you want to oppress others? It doesn't make any sense to me.

I tend to always have a serious look on my face, makes people avoid me, always scared to interact with me.
I once shut a girl up with a look.. meanwhile for my mind I not dey vess, just dey indifferent.

The reality of been an extrovert is you don't have time for abstract things like the internet unless you doing business or catching up.

Its allowed to be an introvert
Its allowed to be shy
But its never allowed for you not to be outspoken. You would lose a lot of opportunities

I'm an introvert and I feel cool about it..

I hate being the centre of attention to a group of people and I hardly speak very loud....I do well when it comes to one on one or interpersonal relationship.... but trust me it became a problem when I left the country for another country where most people are extrovert and very social...and being an introvert just won't help as someone close to me said I was sending people away from myself

I didn't have a choice than to try and adjust...that was when I realised I was having social anxiety (phobia) and I seek for help.

Most people who see themselves as introvert are also suffering from this phobia.....it has to do with d part of the brain that controls pain...the amygdala....

Read up the symptoms of this phobia and u might find it helpful...

I'm currently saving up to see a psychologist..
.but with what I'm doing right now....I've seen positive changes and I relate better.

JeffreyJamez:


Same thing here, but I don't see it as a challenge. It's actually a very good quality. Attention to details.

Writing...poem? Novel? Diary? Which one?

I don't keep friends, don't go to parties whether birthday or wedding even when I am among the bridal train or asoebi I don't attend receptions because I don't like staying out for long...my tailor will be vexing that all this your body and style I am making for you suppose bring more customers for me o I will belike I go try and people will think I am forming
And when I finally go out people will belike where this girl dey since.......

Now that I am working,after office my house straight

barallanee:
Nairaland jux helped me to be open a bit..and jux bkos it's a social media platform...hmmm BT my real life out der am a big time introvert and sumtyms ah jux pray ah change..

Lovely eye balls



As an introvert, I like to be alone and not alone. I keep very few friends that we are benefiting one thing or the other from each other.

hinky:


Why do we find it hard to keep friends?? like i lose friends almost every month... Nd they b lyk m complicated

On the contrary, the contrary is the case. People find it hard to keep you as friends. You know what, no matter how one day, someone will appreciate you for being you. If Introverts are complaining, what do schizoid like us do?

hinky:
I believe if the right one comes, introveted or whatever u ll man up to talk to her...
Life is not too complex as it might seem...


As an introvet, i like being alone but when i dont want to be alone... I dont see anyone to be with cos i cant keep friends...
Sad story..hun..

If u wouldn't mind. I would very much like to be ur friend

sparko1:


This is the major problem! Every detail, even from past even! I think this is the main reason I can't make long speeches! Over think things.

i have thesame problem....it has resulted to ADHD

Yeah, you're right.
My mum noticed my ish in secondary school. I'd represent my school then, face the camera, feature on TV and talk on radio coz I was the literary and debating society. I spoke in front of my state's Governor then and even sang in the choir but I'd run away from family functions.
She made me stay in the Hostel during my OND days, now I'm no longer in touch with any of them.

You are an introvert, and for you can continue like this if you are very beautiful or a genius, unless you have to start socialising. Start going out, go to eventbrite.com and look for free serminal, talk shows to go to, if you are a student, bombard lecturers with questions in class but don't come as been witty, you go just get carryover for nothing. When you go out compliment people, pickup sales job for a month or 2. You can't impact to the world inside your room. Mike zukerberg at a time had to come out of his shell

You are OK, just use your introverted brain to affect something positive around you. It would have been a problem if you were, introverted, shy and not outspoken. Udo

Been an introvert is never a bad idea. Give me a bowl of "extrovertism" and a plate of "introvertism" I'd gladly pick the plate. People seems to see introvert like a handicap.
The problem is, if you're not self confident, or have low self esteem. Then you should work on that.
