@Nnfe I hope when you use alcohol to douse your fears or self-consciousness, it will not intoxicate you as to to do some funny things.

It is a common trait that introverts often feel all eyes are on them but how about showing those eyes you are confident. Please don't let alcohol become your confidence, let it spring up from within you.

[quote author=GloryIsaac post=54179670][color=#770077][i] So i went ahead to know more about the schizoid disorder, its difference with the Introvert personality and this is what i found....

http://www.skepticink.com/gps/2016/04/08/introversion-vs-schizoid-personality-disorder/


People also gave opinions on this issue....

"Introvert is person who's the opposite of extrovert, so in simple terms they just aren't life of party. There is many reasons why person could be introvert ranging from social anxiety to just enjoying solo activities. So main trait of introvert is doing more solo activities then activities in group, there is also many kind of introverts and mixes between introvert and extrovert.

Schizoid in the other hand is personality disorder described in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders fifth edition, main use of the term schizoid is in the mental health field ash a way of diagnosing person who avoids social situations to a point where its deemed not normal human behavior. so basically schizoids main trait is that they choose to be not social even in situations that could benefit them or where the avoidance of social situations goes beyond of enjoying to be alone. Schizoid is also very rare and it haven't been really studied that much, mainly do the fact that schizoids don't seek help almost ever.

So to put it simple for you schizoid is what comes when persons need for solitude goes beyond being a introvert, its very fade line and there is no official point for it. Most simple way to diagnose schizoid is to look at if their avoidance for social situations hurts their life beyond their social life, person who avoids social situations if they aren't required is not a schizoid.

Also there are other mental health problems that may make the person seem like a schizoid, most notorious is depression ash it can make the person avoid social situations. To tell the difference if someone someone is schizoid or just depressed you need to look in to their past, schizoid would have been like this most of his life and he most likely enjoys living this way."


"Introverts simply get their "energy" from being alone. It has nothing to do with whether they can or do socialize. A lot of them enjoy socializing a great deal. But when their "batteries are low," so to speak, they recharge alone."


I actually checked it too and my result is almost the same as yours.

Arsenate:
because i keep to my self a lot, people misconstrue that as arrogance, rudeness or snubbish. it used to bother me alot. now I don't seem to care.

Very true.

RICKYMARIO:
Nice question
I think it becomes anti social when it seriously strains our relationship with people, i've come to realise that we actually need people (no matter how few) to reach greater heights in life.

perfect answer there¿¿

DonOms:


No. Low self esteem can be manifested in different ways and just about equally in both extroverts and introverts.
While Extroverts make their confidence clear to all, Introverts do not broadcast their confidence until it gets to the point they have to show it. Introverts can be really self-confident, hold themselves in high regards and show high self-worth.

As a matter of fact, since many introverts are introspective people and deep thinkers, they are often quite knowledgeable (generally or in certain areas) and this naturally improves their self-value. Shyness, refrain from interactions and withdrawal found among introverts have little or nothing to do with low self-esteem even though those traits can sometimes be the results of low-self esteem in some people.

If you as an introvert will just utilize the power in you (write powerful journal, compose mind exploding lyrics, eject ideas into long standing discuss with boldness), there wouldnt be need seeking for relevance or dying in solitude. you will always have back ups, friends that will be coming around for more exposition or ideas from you and from there you build steady and strong confidence in yourself.
There is no need trying to go out there to be like others when you dont even know who you are. When someone asks you "who do you think you are?", we'll find you sweating profusely like christmas goat.

Another introvert is here. I've never faced any challenge being an introvert because to me, the advantages far outweigh the disadvantages. I don't go out. I stay indoor when I'm not at work. I have one or two friends and the only place I tend to mingle with people is at work because we are many there. And the nature of my work requires constant communication and hobnobbing. When I actually want to talk with people I do it on http://femillionairee.com. Thanks.

I have been here before and I will always be cause we are family. A big shout out to olanrewaj and grace I can now make eye contact with people.
Keeping and starting convo is a big deal now

Ajibel:
Introverts dont have a lounge.

Tell me where is paining you na!

A quick querry to all ghen ghen IntroKings$Queens:
why is it that introverts love quietness, dont like gossips and avoid association but cant stay noiseless. As a matter of fact, true introverts dont read when it quiet (they only think and dream away). If there is no where to get some noise, they find TerryG and hang on there headset. WHY??

Alphasoar:

IF You Don’t Want Your Kids To Be ill Mannered, You Have To Stop Making These 5 Errors http://bashspeak..com/2017/03/if-you-dont-want-your-kids-to-be-ill.html

Being am introvert is one of d reasons I appreciate social media, am more comfortable chatting with someone on social media than talking in person. When situation calls for public presentation I dnt mind doing it. Sometimes I wish am better at expressing myself. I love myself anyways

oh, lol, i thought this was normal at childhood...associating colors with numbers....it was when in my early college years and i saw a childrens puzzle having to do with numbers which were all coloured...the puzzle was kinda easy for the average kid but i remember finding it difficult cos the colour combinations were all wrong (in my head)...i think i got very annoyed that day..lol....
though i v been unusually good with numbers...friends complain that i dont v a fonebook...for me i just remember the color combination at the moment i collected the person's umber and it just sticks...
to go a step further, these are the colors i see when numbers r mentioned

0 = black

1 = white

2 = green (light)

3 = yellow

4 = blue

5 = red

6 = orange

7 = ash/silver/grey

8 = purple/magenta

9 = red

Annais:


Good morning NLIL.

Synesthesia...So that's what it is called. I too thought everyone does that. It makes calculation easier for me.

I think being an Introvert is quite boring... Being alone with your thoughts all the time, not being able to contribute in conversations not because you don't have anything to say but because the words won't just come out, turning down invites from friends because you can't deal with the crowd or pushing your loved ones away without even knowing.... How do introverts manage in a relationship?

karleone:
Hello Beau49 & Corisande,

Do you still find yourselves in this world of Introversion?
We could be friends and fight it together.

Here's one hel of an introvert, but I try as much to fight that life. Believe me, it ain't a life worth being happy for.

Introverts are the best lovers. They just know how to put together all the broken pieces. But can there be a nice relationship, romantic relationship between two introverts? Wouldn't it be boring?

preshdiva:

That they are introverts doesn't mean they won't have topics to discuss or know romance. Believe me, they're the most romantic -- coming from the angle that they tend to put in their whole mind and heart in a relationship. One of their biggest trait is that ability to woo that lady (coming from the guy's angle sha - though most of them have got the skills).

And, relationships are built on understanding. So, understanding themselves perfectly well won't brew boredom.

That's quite normal for an introverted young person. My guess is you're still very young (perhaps below 22) and trying to figure out how you (as a young adult) fit into a matured society.

Don't see your quietness and difficulty starting conversations as a problem. It isn't. It's just something you'll have to grow out of. It's easier for extroverts but it takes introverts a while to blend. Practice makes perfect. As I advice people, just start by developing conversations with people who are inclined to answer (waitresses, security personnel, attendants e.t.c.). Then in a matter of time, you'll feel more comfortable making conversations with just anyone.

As an introvert, you most likely will not become the life of a party or some garrulous type that will chat with every thing that has ears, or not. Introverts prefer solitude and get tired of small chats so brace yourself for this kind of life if you're predominantly introverted.
