crackhous & fountainofyouth, why dont you two love birds just admit to loving each other, its so obviously embarrassing that you two keep ranting to each other and secretly admiring each other. next thing we see on front page ''TWO NAIRALANDERS PRE-WEDDING PHOTOS'' (crackhous & fountainofyouth)
Fountainofyouth:




I don't try to get your attention, I quote any comment I feel like regardless of whose moniker it is, unlike you,

You live for ignoring me, lol, sounds like you are always conscious of my comments, like its permanently in your mind and head to always look out for fountain of youth and ignore, it sounds more like you think about me every day, who is obsessed now cheesy

For me
- I switch off my phones on most birthdays to avoid that attention.

- I don't pick unknown numbers on my personal line, if your number isn't saved on my phone you are wasting your time calling me.

- I barely post pictures on social media so as to avoid comments

- I most likely won't be caught in a group meeting except it's something that really suits my interest like tech/finance talks.

Its one of the reasons I loved the Ambience of Radisson Blu, VI as a place to chill. That place ticks all my boxes, cool and serene arena.

I am not a lover of gba gbos hangout areas. smiley

Back then, Gimme uninterrupted light and you'll not see me again for weeks. Stayed indoors for two weeks one time and my street people thought I travelled.
Old things have passed away.


Nowadays, I take the evening off to go to the mall or a good restaurant. I don't really hang out with people. A lot of people don't vibrate in my frequency

Let's draw the line between being an introvert and being proud.

I've learnt in life that there are good-spirited people and bad-spirited people. If I don't know you and don't know which you belong to, I can't interact with you.

I have friends whom I cherish soooo much and others I plan each day to cut away from (I stir trouble to end friendships). I hate toxic people with passion. I can do anything for the friends I cherish very much. They mean so much to me.

I am very careful of interacting with a stranger because I don't know if you are good or bad, plus I will be angry with myself if you affect my emotion with your toxicity along the line.

Till this day, it still amazes me whenever I see two people spend a good amount of time having small talk. I'm always like how do they find what to talk about. Recently I even wanted to eavesdrop to learn how they're doing the small talk thing so I could learn. The best moments of my life come when I'm alone, either in private or public but just alone. Small talk scare me and But I make concerted efforts to speak with people. I believe any aspect of our lives can be worked on and improved upon if we're willing.

Meanwhile bia fountainofyouth and crackhaus, erm...get some rooms guys

Op most of those experiences are rather unoriginal and unNigerian.
You're sharing experiences from overseas.
One can't really relate to some of those unless to try to fit yourself into the context .
Re: Things Introverts Have Done To Avoid People by Culin(f): 11:56am On Jan 11, 2020
Haha God, the pains of being an introvert. Every little encounter with people makes you anxious and nervous, even if those encounters happen, they'll just be awkward. I can relate to some of these things cos I've done similar or worse. It's better to avoid people totally than to try to hang out and have them call you proud for not involving in chit chats.

Lol, first off, my emotional and mental health is perfectly fine, the fact that I like being alone doesn't mean I don't interact with people, I don't just like crowd,

I only have negative energy here when a comment or sets of comments is perceived as negative, I don't go about insulting people just for the fun of it,

You've never being hard on me, or I never felt that way, anytime I actually see your usual negative vibe, I smile cos I know you like to poke people just to make them react, especially females,

I have love, will continue to be loved cos I'm lovable, so you can join the queue, of which I know you already love me anyway,

And I know you are an introvert too, you just don't want people to see you a certain way.
lol, see two ghost.

I am just like the Mehari girl at no.5. I switched off my phone for a month and changed sim card there afterwards to avoid contact from the outside world most especially my course mates, my parents probably thought I was dead and had to call my friends at school to know if I am still alive.

Most times when people are talking to me in my head I am asking my abstract friends who they
are talking to and I always find distractions just the end the convo

So, glad I could finally share this

I am Yoruba... Yoruba greet a lot but I live like I'm not even one...sometimes I don't even know the right answer to greetings.

Some one would say "Aku Odun" and I'm just clueless.

I avoid all forms of greetings.

I upload pics on social media, the next moment, I take it down.

I don't have friends, not at all. I bought everything I'd ever need to not get bored in my room

ACER INSPIRON TABLET

32 INCHES TV

The only people I'm comfortable with in life is babies. I'd adopt one if I can't marry soon.

I'm really scared of wedding. I don't like attention.

I am not an introvert but I show signs of one. I am just careful with my emotions. I can be very bold when situation demands.

Switched off my Facebook active status so you won't know I'm online and also removed my profile picture. I come online to chat with my good friends there. Planning on quitting Facebook for good. I hate the fronting and competition there.

Just imagine. cheesy

Two is crowd for you, you would rather be alone locked up for hours, your only social media presence is right here and you should have been taking advantage of this to form/have healthy relationships to at least nurture your mental/emotional health, yet you still chose to spend it fighting, insulting, and surrounding yourself with so much negative energy...
Don't you get drained?

I'm actually starting to feel bad for being too hard on you all this while, when all you need is love.

My husband comes in late and leave very early the next day, I will just close my eyes pretending sleep, he will just say ( mummy, I'm back and I know you are not sleeping).
I always sit at the back seat in church, once I give my offering, I will disappear, can't stay still church is over, because I don't want anyone coming to greet me.
Recently I have stopped going to church because my two years old son won't sit at a place, I'm always running around trying to control him. I better sit at home.
I just received a message from my Rev. Reminding me that tomorrow, I should try come to church.
ah ha ....sometimes I leave when prayer is being said over the offering.............and when i stay to the end of any meeting i usually rush back home.......nt dat i have a crious tin to attend to......but I just cant bear people nose-diving to my life through small talks

I put my phone on airplane mode and disappear on my birthday for the past two years to avoid sappy "Happy Birthday to you" and the general attention birthdays bring.

I got rid of my roommate so I could live blissfully alone and receive less visitors. smiley

I'm always on earpiece. . . .nothing plays but it discourages people from striking up conversations with me.

Since 2010 I created facebook I think I just posted like 4 times but enjoy reading comments. I dare not attend social gathering especially birthdays.
Some days I would lock my door with padlock and follow the window and enter the room, then bolt the window. I will successfuly stay indoors like that for almost the whole day. Very enjoyable.
Even when the door is open, on seeing someone, I will open a book if I was not reading and claim to be studying so the person will know I'm busy and leave.

I hardly asked for something from my parents even if I am in dire need of it, just to avoid talking. They provide for me if they like and see there's need for it.
But I'm coming up now

Very funny.

Mine is, I usually avoid busy paths when going out for fear of someone just calling me out from nowhere. I'll just feel like disappearing.

I take off from church service immediately grace is shared while others are busy exchanging pleasantries. Some of my pastors noticed and they are now like hey Sister J, drop this your bag, where are you always running off to grin.
It used to be very bad but I'm loosening up a bit these days.
