I am an introvert too... I find out I always wanna stay alone I spent 5 years in OAU and I managed not to appear in any important photographs or events... Most of my course mates didn't know who I was, my lecturers always mistook me for other people... I also have a hard time having fun in public... The only places I am outspoken are church and football viewing centre. 4 Likes 2 Shares |

Aystarz: Well an depressed most times if my dreams fail. My best friend now has been my earplugs. I would suggest you dive into the world of deep meaningful music. You will find what will pull out with their lyrics. Stay away from all these cavemen songs dished out by our local artist. You are introvert so won't relate with most of them. Try to have a positive outlook, and try to help ppl solve problems, forget about yourself. You will get better as you help others. Finally go to dating app, social media, try to be different there. Do silly things if you like, try role playing. And don't care too much. Good luck. 4 Likes |

Oh dear! I am an introvert and I don't have low-self esteem, I am not shy. People mistake us to be these things. I will perfectly speak if delivering a public speech even more than some extrovert. My alone time is just so precious and would never trade for anything. 5 Likes |

I really do appreciate this thread though. I was once in this shoe but presently and gradually due to my exposure am riding toward the path of an Ambivert. Being an introvert is not a down syndrome nor a disease but a personality trait that differentiate one person from another. I am definitely going through this gradually. I love n cherish my guys especially those I regard as my friends. The female folks are something else. Though am gaining confidence in approaching them and being around them. This is because my close friend is a Female. We have shared a lot in common in the last Five years owing to the fact we were in the same dept n level during school. I Love her so much to the extent that my colleagues then in school n my guys assumed/assumes that she was mine whereas that is not the case, But we do go intimate but not to that extent the way u think. All the same being an introvert is cool because we are always the best in terms of Caring Loving and Thinking. Shout out to my guys n gals in the house. Love U all. See u on the other side. Cheers!! 2 Likes |

Being introverted is both a blessing and a curse. For one the overanalytical ability that comes with it helps most times, you're able to see things your fellow colleagues can't, and they know this so they come to you for advice. I've acted as a "therapist" for my friends and sometimes complete strangers many times. Plus staying away from crowds spares you the drama and bullshit that comes with having so many friends and contacts. The downside for me is that I have a difficult time maintaining friendships, especially close ones. I care DEEPLY about things, think DEEPLY about things. I would never have you as a friend unless I absolutely can trust that you wouldn't turn on me someday. It's worse with romantic relationships, I tend to be very analytical of my feelings for the opposite sex, trying to determine whether being in a relationship with that person would be beneficial or end up as an overbearing/heartbreaking liability on the long run. It's virtually impossible for me to live "in the moment" and just have fun while it lasts. The future is always a factor to consider for me. But as someone earlier commented, it's all in our thoughts. If you can learn to say "fvck it, I don't care" then you can conquer all the fears that comes with being an introvert. I'm slowly learning to do that now, but the knock-on-effect which I'm beginning to notice is that I no longer care about people's feelings or if what I do upsets them or makes them hurt. I suppose that's good and bad 5 Likes |

SPEEDEPITOME:cc afoobabs Babs, someone who's shy and has low self esteem will move into a corner and say they're introverted. There's a difference. Being shy and being introverted aren't the same thing, although they may look the same. An introvert enjoys time alone and gets emotionally drained after spending a lot of time with others. A shy person doesn't necessarily want to be alone but is afraid to interact with others. 2 Likes |

The aspect that is most painful about being an introvert is people owing me money and I will be feeling shy to ask them, in some cases I would think I will be offending them if I go ask them about my own money. Walahi I have lose a lot of cash, I mean huge cash! By being a mumu introvert. 5 Likes |

afoobabs:You're still missing the point. This is something I enjoy. If you're an extrovert, you enjoy everything that comes with it cause that's what makes sense to you and you don't wanna change it. You know the way extroverts don't understand how someone can stay alone and claim to be happy?That's how I wonder how extroverts survive too. I'm kinda good with words, I make my opinion known without fear of intimidation, I can address a public gathering if the need arises. What else can I ask for? I'm good Bro. I don't start friendship not because I'm scared, but because I don't see the need for it. Trust me, I don't want any forced friendship cause I can't sustain it. 4 Likes |

Tobium1: You know, your sense of humour has nothing to do with being an introvert or not. If you have a dry sense of humour, it's a totally different ball game. Extroverts can be like that too. afoobabs:Yes, you are right. The same way we have extroverts with self esteem issues. |
