I cant go out . I'm always indoor. I am always shy to talk in the public. I have only one male friend and no female friend. When i was still in school, i couldnt answer question in the class. And many more. Nne, i think there is nothing we can do about it. We just have to keep living like that. |

I am an Introvert and I have few friends. I don't care. I prefer to have few true friends than to billions of fake friends, they are useless. |

I used to be completely introverted too, but when I noticed it was killing me because I was missing a lot I decided to change myself. Even tho it's very hard to say hello, try your best and always have a smiling face. I saw this somewhere once, 'Always keep it in mind whenever you want to speak to someone, this person wants to hear me speak. Keep repeating this to yourself.' there is no problem with being an introvert, but ppl will think youre depressed, sad, a loner, a snub, and worst of all a looser; you'll miss a lot of good opportunities . To avoid generalizing, this does not apply to every introvert. It might be the way you were programmed , but who says you can't upgrade. learn to reach out to ppl, one day at a time. Godspeed Nice piece by the way. 2 Likes |

In this present day society,Introverts often feel the need to behave like extroverts in other to get some benefits that have been pegged with having extroverted qualities. A left handed person will always remain a left handed person. Although he may try to utilize the right hand,it will never be as effective as the left hand. In the same way, an introvert may try to exhibit extroverted qualities to thrive in today's "extroverts world" but will be constantly drained by those stimulating environments which normally energizes extroverts. Most introverts are often ashamed of their personality type because the media and general notion has pegged extroverts as successful, decisive and good leaders, while introverts are generally perceived as shy,indecisive, aloof and depressed. Even the church tends to unintentionally exalt extroverted qualities as ideals of faithfulness. So most Introverts often run down their energy endlessly trying to "play extrovert" while ignoring their inherent gifts and talents. What I think is that every introvert should be true to themselves and embrace their personality. This builds confidence which in turn leads to a happy and fulfilling life. 2 Likes |

Most of the great people we hear about are introverts. For instance: Warren Buffet, Bill Gates, Albert Einstein, Napoleon Bonaparte, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, Mark Zukerberg and many writers, philosophers, artists, inventors etc. The innovations you see today were by the introverts because they are natural thinkers. 4 Likes |

No better way to describe me...d mere mention of going to a party or gathering gets me sad.I hardly talk outside but my siblings and close friends call me a talkative.... In class,I don't answer questions except d ones directed at me.I can stay indoor for a very long time..am always surprised seeing people going from a friend's house to d other...being shy is an understatement for me |

Re: The sign by Nobody: 8:32pm On Jul 02, 2014 |
Will I say you just described me op? I have so many E friends but in real like I'm a loner. talk less, I love me, I don't keep humans close to me, I'm not close to anyone in particular. I find joy in just being with me. some call me a snub , some say I'm shy, some say I'm proud, people say things and even when I try to change, I still go back to who I am. maybe that's who I am meant to be and that's who I am. Although, people also say Aquarians behave like that. |
Re: The sign by shegxi(m): 8:44pm On Jul 02, 2014 |
nice one op, i am intovert, i will say inbetween phlegmatic and melancholy for intelligence, yes we are, dats so evident. sometimes, i do sincerly wish i wasn't introverted, bt i hav come to realise dats who i am. i also discover dat i do veri well wen working behind d scene dan wen am d centre of attraction.....i hav come to respect dat and realise we all can nt be on d scene, d point is just to play my part. in all, i have tried improving myself and i can say i am beta at my relationship with people nw. d onli downside for us as guys is wen u like a lady and u can't tel her cos u are shy , dat feeling is sooo.... bt in all, we are unique.......lets appreciate and develop our strength. |
