What do you think about introvert dating an introvert(or semi introvert)

Malolu:

It's nothing wrong esp if both of them know how to complement one another, speak for each other. Being an introvert isn't a disease. Communication between both solves it all

remedick:
i am an introvert lol.

remedick:
you will get over it. I have overcome my introversion to an extent. I think pampering kids can cause one to be introverted.


I got over mine due to challenges I had to face in life after the demise of my only parent. Few weeks ago, my friend was telling me i have grown and that he can't believe i am taking some responsibility in my family.

Another thing that helped me is that I realised that being a Nigerian doesn't help introverts much because you might be trampled on due to your quiet nature.

I still have traces of introvert in me though, like staying indoors, not keeping much friends but I have over come the reluctance to speak when I want to.

Rukkydelta:

Hmmm
I do speak out even to strangers
Just don't love associating with others

Malolu:

Then I guess you are dating one as well, you love her and she loves you too right?

remedick:
yeah. Every introvert does. I have been in doors since morning

Rukkydelta:

Me too
Though I'm going out soon

remedick:
okay. Stay out of trouble while out

remedick:
I think one should be created bro.

It won't serve any purpose and besides many of us do not use Whatsapp.

Basically one of my cousins (well not really my cousin) said to me that I don't keep in touch with her mum which is not cool. I realise this with most of my aunties and uncles. I have grown up in the UK basically all my life and I was brought up to always respect my elders.

So for some reason now at the age of 26 I still find it very hard to talk to my aunties and uncles because of the fear of being disrespectful. Because every time I visit they will make sarcastic jokes about the way I talk to them.

Basically what I'm trying to get at is I can't have a real conversation with them just asked me about school or work and that's as far as the conversation goeswhich makes me very uncomfortable because it seems fake to me.

Can anyone give me some advice

I don't get what most people are posting on here and maybe someone has posted what i have to say here before. I actually can't say but the way most people put it across , seems like introversion is someone who doesn't love fun or likes to stay indoors or they are socially awkward.

Very very wrong. It's simple, we all have our ways of relieving stress. I would prefer to stay in a room with my phone alone without noise and sleep in between to relieve stress and in the end get happiness and joy from this simple action while to someone else that's brain tasking for them.

Their idea of relaxing is going out to loud places, shaking and greeting 10s and hundreds of people. Good for them as long as it is relaxes them. But for me the thought of greeting 10s of unknown people and trying to fit in to their personal space and trying to belong or form some kind of chemistry that is non existent is brain tasking to even cause me stress.

Am i socially awkward to want to avoid such situations? No. So maybe you guys take a chill pill and calm down on all these stereotypes and enjoy life to the fullest. If staying indoors and watching a movie makes you happy, then for goodness sake do it and stop whining.

Yes, a number of people have tried to explain introversion as best as they can on this thread. But as you know, some people have stereotyped and misguided understandings of things so it takes time and courage to accept what is factual and true. So these explanations may have to be repeated often, I'm afraid.

Either way, the truth is, one of the purposes of this thread (and loads of other blogs, posts, books and even the World Introvert Day) is to sensitise and enlighten people who are somewhat less informed about introversion to get rightly informed about introverts and why they do things the way they do.

Melsan:
Yes,you are welcome. Enjoy yourself!

SugaryBelle:
Being an introvert is not as people make it seem . I for one have grown to love the things that make me an introvert,there are still challenges I face with friendships but that's ok too because I honestly can't deal with people expecting me to be some particular way in order to maintain a friendship with them especially extroverts so I just stick to my 'kind' or not,where I don't have to go anywhere or do anything, sitting together in happy silence is fun too.
