@bold you should keep decieving urself . With this thread ? Extrovert hv no problem expressing their feelings, to friends and family. And we get solution or atleast get encouraging words or atleast get it off our chest . But u all die in slience . Telling urselves I am special but you all mentally unhealthy. It’s not okay or normal to be in isolation . It’s not Normal . With this thread u honestly think introverts deal with depression more than extroverts? Ain’t u funny .
You commented like a demented witch on crack.

I need help

So, I have been trying to buy the "Anybooks" app on google play store, but get a message that my card details incorrect at several attempts.

I have used the same card to buy audio books from audible.com and even pay for goods online.

Could it be the zip code? Who else has encountered the same challenge?

Attention craving.
I don't look like it at all, but my man gotta have eyes on me always. It makes me feel vulnerable, so I haven't really been lucky with relationships
I think it’s a general thing. Ain’t easy having someone who can cope with our personality, We just love that centered attention, but it always seems impossible to find. Everybody is busy with other people.

Like Anxiety? I mean for me personally, I would not go if I'm not mentally prepared for it, but sometimes I'd change my mind depending on the individual that invited me.

Well, being an introvert aint easy, more difficult when you're a nerd. People think you're proud and full of yourself. I rarely talk to people in my class and I don't think I'll know their names till I graduate. When I first got to my hostel, people didn't even know the room was occupied. I can stay in our house for four days without opening the front door. Did I forget to say many people will hate you because they think you're proud and will tell their friends about your "evil deeds" so don't be suprised if someone you've not met hates you without any reason. I'm kinda shy and find it difficult relating with people I just met. However, I talk and joke a lot when I'm in the midst of my very close friends. So people who know only my silent side (course mates for example) are surprised when they see me talking in my inner caucus and they'll be like "so this dude can talk?". As a nerd, I'm on my pc or mobile most times and that increases my "introvertility" and you'll see people praying all kinds of evil prayers like "I pray you lose your laptop" etc. Being an introvert can be interesting especially if you don't give a damn about people or their opinions.


It's not easy at all especially the emboldened

These days I stopped caring. If anyone makes up their mind about the kind of person I am without meeting me first, all the best to them. There was a time when I would avoid some paths so as not to run into certain people, but these days, I don't care anymore.

When I go to events and someone points at me to address the crowd, I step up calmly and say whatever I have to say like I've known them forever, not giving a damn.

Also when I don't feel like going out with anyone, I let them know right away, saves me the hassle of stressing myself. Whoever tries to please people all the time ends up unhappy himself/herself.

guys am I the only one who experiences this? people always question me whenever they see me that why don't I come out or why don't they usually See Me in the street or why am I always indoor? is it a crime to live one's life the way one pleases? I'm the type that don't see going out as a necessity unless I've got an important thing to do outdoors... I even feel disturbed sometimes if my friends come visiting. why don't people realize not everyone can be like them?

it’s normal , but don’t be rude about it, don’t feel offended by it either, just laugh it out , say something like “I just Dey relax” anyone who exaggerate about it , you just smile . When people care or like you and can’t hv u around often that’s what they say. They will get used to it, why don’t you like your friends visiting , I feel like if u hv friends willing to cm around knowing you would hardly reciprocate such actions , u should appreciate them.

That's society for you. "The mind is sharper and keener in seclusion and uninterrupted solitude. Originality thrives in seclusion free of outside influences beating upon us to cripple the creative mind." - Nikola Tesla.

Society is robbing people, especially young people of a lot of things.
1. Choice:The choice to be single, to not be on social media, to be a nerd, to get high and marvel Diotima's ladder of love or to be an atheist. Society robs the youth from thinking, from questioning women at the bus stops who are passing out Jesus flyers or who want you to attend NASFAT about them briefly explaining platonism and via Socrates dialectic method, opening their eyes. Faith is the new lust. Society wants everyone, not just the youths, not just introverts alone, to bow down, to give in to their demands.

2. Being ourselves. We are scared to have an opinion because if you are a Trump supporter for example, you are automatically a racist bigot. We are scared to end up on the losing side. We are scared to take opportunity because being an opportunist is bad and it is better to be unnoticed according to society. To be the majority, to be like everyone else is safer. We must have a label on our head. She is a lesbian, he is gay, he is too feminine, she is too masculine. We judge and are afraid to be judged. We are passive aggressive. We are afraid to speak up. We are afraid of "no" and failure. We are afraid of living, just crossing off the days in the calendar, in anticipation of what? Death? Don't live like that bro.

3. Love. Our society is now fast food everywhere. In each aspect of it, food. It has to be fast. It has to be a drive thru. Love? Screw that. Who wants a mortgage, a commitment, and old wrinkly wife with a tummy that's already pushed out four kids. It's better to have a fling, to have a moment of lust, to say "I love you" just after four weeks of dating. Dating is the new marriage, you dont believe me? Look around you. We stopped caring and acknowledging true beauty. We are even dumb to not know that all bodies are similar, we are contaminated with short term gratification. I was raised a muslim, mum's a Christian though, catholic, I can speak Arabic almost like a mother's tongue, also went to catholic school, but religion wasn't it for me. That was a choice, you make yours.

thanks a lot but trust me, I've always handled it with maturity, I mostly laugh it off as you said cos in reality I've got no explanation for them and about friends, yeah I have friends who do check up on me and I appreciate that but sometimes, maybe the moments I need to be alone is when they come around... I would call it a bad timing, there was a time when I was still in my teens that a friend of mine paid me a visit, I didn't know when I left him in the living room and went into my room to take a nap... my brother had to caution me not to do that again whereas I didn't mean to offend him cos he was already having a good time by watching TV not like I left him alone all by himself. I guess that's just the way we are, not to be clearly understood by the society, just maybe.

hmmm that was lengthy and interesting.. it's sad that here in Africa, we don't care about people's choice, we feel everyone must fit in to our way of life. that's a selfish feeling... we criticize, castigate, judge cos we ALWAYS view choices that are different from ours as bad and view ours as good. Africa is still living centuries behind in my opinion

At least people abroad still have a chance to be whomever they want irrespective of tags.

Here in Africa you don't have a choice than you conform to wishes of society and parents unless a young person is rich.


I have come to the understanding that it's because young people can't get proper jobs to fund for themselves, that's why our parents have been able to cage us, not because of Nigeria parenting.
