In addition to the previous comments, I have very few friends. I don't like to injure other peoples' feeling. I don't enjoy relating with extroverts as many of them are pushful, cheaty and seems heartless in my relationship with them. I enjoy being indoor watching movies and interacting with people of the same personality. A lot of the extroverts takes advantage of my being merciful/compassionate. I like to listen to other peoples' view points. It takes time before I take decision but when I decide, it is only God that can change it.

Sometimes I go out alone as it's inevitable, if u see me walking seems I just learnt how to walk , buh it's all cool

If I must I tag some1 along
About gals I seem to notice d ones dat like me early
And I suddenly become an extrovert
I like my privacy
I hate calls, it's like they are disturbing me
I rarely call that's a reason my last relationship didn't work

And even at dat I avoid pple a lot
My phone is my greatest companion
Being introverted has its own perks
Buh u dnt need to b told am an introvert
In my case I wasn't never allowed to go out play with friends
Imagine they helped craft d introverted nature deeper into my system

My challenges

Find it extremely difficult going out and meeting new people.

Have few or no friends at all.

Calling people is climbing to the top of Kilimanjaro, even if it's to seek help.

People are somehow scare to approach or relate with me, thinking I may snub but I rarely do that.

Most of the time, I have to go extra miles to prove my simplicity, humility and friendliness.

However, few people who understand me are always full of praise for my impeccable and humane personality.

God punish dem.. life is boring without frends n I wonder aw sum1 will cope without a frends to hangout wit.. I tink all dis pple claiming introverts here dey lie jare
You know, there's this thing called emotional intelligence. It's understanding why people behave the way they behave and knowing how to act in different situation. Why would you blame someone else for your actions? You said you are annoying, now you're suffering depression because of of them? You just admit having a personality flaw, work on yourself Bro.
...Why would anyone claim to be an introvert when they are not? Yes, some people don't truly understand their personality; some are just shy, some have low self confidence/esteem and so think they are introverted. it's not because there's a medal for it, its just because that's what they think they are.

there are two way to overcoming being an introvert 1. try and become an IDGAF i.e. I don't give a Bleep in real life stop concerning ursef with what ppl say, think or feel abt you, it doesn't really matter more so who even get ur time the world don't give a Bleep so u shouldn't as well. introverts think and feel all eyes are on them which is wrong everyman has his/ her own problem that he is facing squarely so they aren't looking at you
2. The spirit of street. you can hardly find an introvert in the street the spirit of the street will chase out the introvert out of u any street guy will understand this. in most case introvert are kids from reserved home gra, estate flats self con and so on there lifestyle has been program to be secluded. they can live for months without talking to neighbors but living in the street gives u the opportunity to have encounter with people day in day out u will be forced out of ur shell. I can relate with what every one has been saying. but this two things help a lot now am becoming a talkative I can now initiate a convo among friends.

The gathering of complex cases. Mine is worse enough. It makes some people who don't know me well enough think that I am some kind of silent psycho. Some girl in my class once described me as eccentric. I wonder if she even really knew what that meant back then. But at the end of the day,its just me: Not too many pals,no social gatherings<except you count my evenings out playing football>,no nothing and I remain Ok in my skin and it also makes me happy to know there are lots of people like this guy on this forum and I am bloody pleased to meet y'all.

What IF you are both an extrovert and introvert by nature?
It's possible and that's like the coolest thing ever. You get to enjoy the pecks of both without being disadvantaged. You switch to whatever mode suits you and if you can balance, you're good.

I worry alot about things I ordinarily should not be.. I can't stand irregularities, I just need everything well co-ordinated.. Extremely choosey when it comes to friends and ultimately the opposite sex.. I get bored with shallow conversation.

I have a lot of challenges. Because of my introverted nature I didn't enjoy school life like i was supposed to. For the past 4 years all i had were crushed who never knew I crushed on them. To start conversation na wahala especially with the opposite sex. Now I'm leaving school soon with no sense of achievement except in my academics . Even to relate with my family na wahala.I enjoy solitude. I even relate with friends more...and it's the reason why I've been single for the past 4 years while all my friends have babes. The struggle is real

I was extremely introverted back in school and being a computer science student who loves programming made it worse. You could be talking to me when I'm doing a mental run of an algorithm... I no go answer you. Always seeing codes in my dream. Funny enough the solution to most problems Ive solved came this way so I don't fight it.

Who school babe help?
Relax you will meet alot of them in the real world and in your profession. By then your only problem will be choice.

Try not to be too uptight. Just take your time to develop your social skills cos you will need to interact with colleagues /bosses /contractors at work.

The introverted nature gets better with time if you work on improving your social skills.

Start with baby steps. Join a volunteer group or youth group in your church /club. As you contribute to achieving set goals of the group you will be encouraged to know that you were part of something exciting and that helps your psyche alot. It helps you know the value of collaboration, accept criticism, offer and accept help from others etc

And remember great men collaborate. No man ever became great by locking himself away from the world. Even computer technology trend emphasize the need to share data, network and collaborate.

Just like most of us, I don't like crowd, social events and all that

Chai, I couldn't open up to my crush for a solid 5 years during University days. I still regret it till date because she did everything a girl could have done to get a guy's attention but I kept thinking too much instead of acting

Other times, when it comes to girls, I might like you, call you often but sometimes I might not remember you for days, not that I have an issue with you but just that being meditative drifts my mind to a whole lot of things

And when I care, I really care....sometimes I try to force myself not to show it to avoid being taken for granted

I'm getting better at communicating with people sha over time now

Its a world which gives me inner peace in one second and in another second, I feel why am I like this

You've said it all brother.
I'm smiling in one second and in another my mood has changed. I like being alone most times because people around me don't understand me at times.
I can be caring too
All the same I like myself this way because it keeps me out of trouble most times.
