It's not easy been an introvert. My sisters are all extroverts, I have two elder sisters NAD two younger sisters. They can talk for Africa ehn, I'm just the opposite of them all. Mum and dad always have a hard time steering them towards decency and stuff and prohibiting them from getting calls from boys or whatever until they were matured to do so. When we go out shopping, my sisters would be the ones to pick out stuffs for me as I'm always dumbstruck or shy I don't even know which one for sure. Same thing goes when we go to eateries, I would order whatever they order. This continued till I finished high school and dad thought maybe it's just a phase in adolescence for me that I'm gonna outgrow it. He insisted I go to a federal university to improve my social life since I was low on it and still I'm by the way. I argued with him that it's got nothing to do with population or people I'm with, that I don't just like being around people much, I wanted to go to a private university where you know almost everyone and life would just be easy. I went to Oau and to his dismay, when I came home after part 1, I only worsened. Back in school, I was astonished when I saw the no of students in my department being microbiology, we were up to 500 I swear, I maintained a triangle which is going from hostel to class to library and back to hostel. I stayed in the hostel most of the time and never went to any departmental party. After the break I went home and stayed indoors more. I played video games like mad and rarely go out except for early morning jogs. And I only received calls from my roommates and other guys. The icing on the cake was when my mum asked me to see her one day after I got a call from one of my friends and talked for a long time over the phone. I went to see her after taking the call and the first thing she asked me three me off balance. She said "are you gay or what,? you only receive calls from guys and I have never heard you call a girl ever, and none has ever come here to look for you either." she told me that even my youngest sister in ss1 has been caught calling or receiving calls from her bf. I just laughed and told her I'm not gay that I just don't like being round pple much or with girls since I can't seem to construct a coherent sentence when with any girl apart form my sisters. She just nodded her head in disbelief and dismissed me.
