I have no other social media presence except here, lots of sleep pretence, two is a crowd for me, when I'm in a gathering of more than two(me and someone else) and everyone is focused on me when I talk or about to talk, I panic and start to stutter, or I pretend to have forgotten what I was about to say, when I'm less busy for hours for a whole day, I lock myself in my room and make no sound throughout, one time, everyone thought I was dead, a friend once asked if I am a ghost cos I behave like one, lol.
you masturbate too right..

I'm not an introvert nether am I an extrovert. I choose which ever role I want to play with my life. I'm just a lone wolf.
That means you are an ambivert

I can related with the last one. Sometimes I pick and a meeting and look forward to it but as the day draws closer, I panick and sometimes cut it off.

I avoid social gatherings to avoid talking to people and even look myself indoor some days(occasionally stepping out to do some necessary stuffs) to avoid my family members.

There are days when I cry alone when I feel hurt or remember some of my friend who have passed away then come out and smile like everything is fine.... I don't share my problems with anyone. My parents sometimes encourage me to leave the room and talk with them which is very hard for me.

So it's more like I like my privacy, not necessarily an introvert

Technically, am not an introvert per say. I.can be lively in my days. But most times i remain calm and not participate in most stuffs because i stammer. So mostly remain calm cos i stammer and that makes people think am usually calm and reserved.

Whenever my in-laws are on visit, l stay in my room most times to avoid small talks.

I also fake phone calls to avoid interacting with people.

Sometimes I avoid checking my WhatsApp messages directly to avoid replying immediately.
I do the Whatsapp thing too just to avoid engaging in chats atimes; I rarely change my DPs as well, my number of posts here on NL is kinda weird sef considering when i joined. I've worked on some aspect of myself though while i love some the way they still are.

Mine, when once my priest says "This mass is ended, go in peace and serve the Lord"

I'm already on my way home. I do everything possible to avoid the "wait, meet and greet" by almost thousands of congregation in my parish.

It's fun to be an introvert.

My brother we are not mentally unstable or deprived of love.
Believe me,I might not greet you but I might love you than your blood relative.
I might be ready to give someone 1 million naira than for me to hold 10 seconds small talk with that person.
Unnecessary small talk drains our energy.
But not greeting someone is rudeness

1. I avoid sex by watching porn. The sex thing makes me feel like you are dusturbing my space.

2. I keep my circle small, too many friends stesses me out.

3. I take only meaningful calls.

4. I am hardly attracted to people but most are attracted to me because of my beauty.

5. I am on Facebook and instagram but hardly do any uploads.

6. I get irritated when people who are not celebrities live their lives on social media. Why do you have to update strangers and not make a dime from it?

7. Only family members and few friends are aware of my birthday.

8. I hate too much attention.

9. I can only be extra friendly when it involves business. After then, my mouth becomes closed.

10. I avoid reading whatsapp chats immediately to avoid long chats.
u avoid sex. Like seriously. Thats wierd.

Due to my level of being an Introvert, I don't have any friend and I hardly speak with people.

Attending occasion is always a problem for me plus am a very shy dude and love being indoor���
So you're a guy?

I bought headphones for this sole purpose. Even if they're dead or I'm not even listening to music, I still always have them on to avoid human interaction.

I once told someone who came to preach to me that i was a Satanist so they would go away.

I'm waiting for her to tell me her mind. grin

I've asked her what she wants before, sometime in December last year and she ran away, refused to respond till date.
She has great deep love for you. She's only female. Permit her to act tact now she has revealed her heart and intent towards you. Just give her time. Try later again. You know ladies. They want to do things when they feel most comfortable. And with her emotions off the charts, she prolly may be thinking towards recovering gravity before she communicates with you... But this one down fall for you o.

Introverts, I'll like to ask you all, How do you make money, especially for some of you who do business.
Introverts are driven by something they love to do..,be it business,music,acting,writing,sports,military.We are every where and we make money out of things we love to do.To an introvert,business is business,work is work.
because we had a long business talk doesn't necessarily make us friends..,our talk is strictly business,don't expect us to have a drink with you just because we are business partners.We draw our lines very well.

When I'm outdoors,I'm always in my head,I'm quite conscious of the environment,but I live in my head.I hardly notice people.
The best I can do for you is just to wave.

I'm a Christian but there was a time I went to stay with one of my muslim family members. It got to a point, their neighbors start calling me 'aunty eleha' thinking I don't go out because I'm eleha not knowing it's because I'm scared of socialising myself with people. And when I notice someone I know walking ahead of me, I will start walking slowly so as not to meet the person and greet.

People have this same misconception about me.Peoples' validation of me is not a "must" for me.My close friends and family know who I really am and I'm okay with that.
Simran94:
Same with me but people around me don’t understand, they usually think I’m proud and acting all high and mighty whereas I’m just trying to be alone.

Introversion has degrees,so one may not be as introverted as I am and thus,may see my comment as odd.

I'm also an introvert too, not the extreme type tho.

-First on birthdays, I don't post online and my phone is on airplane just to avoid 'happy birthday....' and shit. sometimes if Facebook cast my birthday I do deny it.

-- most of my social media account aren't in my name or picture, always on a ghost mode even though am always online 247. And I also have a status view of less than 20

-During holiday am always indoor, my phone and internet are my soulmate.

-I don't greet people except you are FAM or a close pal. people do report me to my parent, my parents has given up on me on that aspect of greeting people and making friends. Lots of people had told me am proud, saucy and shit but who cares




-In all my phases of life I had always try to avoid people, during Sec. Sch. I had less friends and had issues, some said I was proud and all that. well now I'm in tertiary and am trying to improve that. I'm always the first person to leave church after service despite the fact that always the last person to come in, just to avoid unnecessary convos

-Lastly those in my clique knows am such a wonderful, interesting,cool, fun person to be with.
-The SACRIFICE for this my introvertness is that till now I don't have GF.
- Trying to change now, so I will have more people attend my wedding

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.
I'm finding it hard to do this on my fb Lite.
