There's nothing wrong with being introverted but never the less, your life needs balance. Everything in creation is about balance. Wet and dry season, Hot and cold temperature, life and death, light and darkness, etc

Introverts need to sometimes be extroverted and vice versa. I am an introvert and my woman is very extroverted.

Its all about balance.

Am an introvert also, so wat I observe about myself is dat I lik isolating myself frm other people, I dnt to go party even though na one of my family dey do party, I hardly greet people in my area, I can stay in my room for 3days witout going out or talking wit anybody, sometimes I always ignore calls from friends. When I lik someone, I can do anytin for the person bt if I some1 offend me I go hate am 4 ever even if he apologize later. Meanwhile, am a twins bt my twin is an extrovert.

when i started reading,,i was like ''HOW CAN A FIRST TO COMMENT WRITE SUCH A LONG EPISODE?''........is like you typed this long thing down before.

I know how NL is,,once a topic is out before you know it,,,within the space of 2mins, you will be seeing 27comments

sometimes you may see the post first,,but with this kind of long episode,you will find yourself on page 2,,,cos before u finish typing,,poeple with shorter texts are there before you....

That is why FTC people rejoice so much,,,but many don't know why,,,,

in a nut shell,,,,now i know politics happen on NL too,,,,,,i can't just belive this long episode in FTC.....something happened

It's like you are new here. Have you not heard of space booking? grin
Once you type a word and click on 'reply', that space becomes yours and you can now take your time to write what you have in mind.
And by the way, this thread and my comment were created almost 6 months ago when the thread was not yet on FP (check the date of the post). I did not make that comment today.

So, chill. Stop wondering what happened. Space-booking happened! grin

There is nothing wrong with being an introvert. I tried my best to like become extrovert some times back and I realized that that isn't the way am supposed to be.
My introversion has helped me alot, coupled with the fact that am a little bit stubborn lol!
These my new generation frnds dnt know me at all, they think am proud and intentionally dnt wanna associate with people, the say I dnt interact.with everybody in class grin I only have ONE close frnd all my life.
I dnt keep frnds, i dnt even visit anyone other.than my boyfriend....
My phone is my beatie.
Dnt worry about what people say about you. Let them take time to get to know you, u dnt have to go clubbing or party before you see someone to ask you out.
she can go to clubs, but just be urself don't copy, like me, I like drinking out, visiting places but I keep my cool.

Einstein was the jew kid in his class in a Catholic school, in a town of 300,000 residence, 85% Catholic, 2 % jew. He was echolalic. Those were his reasons sortof for turning out introvercial, and he thanked God and attributed his success to it.

It important to note that he was creatively intelligent. and not brute mentally gifted as people like to believe, his invention, theories and hypothesis was a way of showing the world what he saw in his head, express how he reasoned, not to tell the world he was inteligent he was. What he couldn't say fast enough in words, he expressed in equation, that and the fact he had a poor language structure, enabled him to focus more on proving than speaking, really reconsider the obvious perception of things cause his was always different. Psychological he spent the better part of his life trying to prove and express himself through his work and gaining acceptance. Many of his theories has been disproved but one is forever burnt in the heart of humanity, the equation E=MC SQUARE, HE got that equation from a simple desire to ride a wheel on light beam or rays, pure imagination, he just wanted to prove to the world it was possible verse the equation.

Now trick other scientists had been gaining nobel prices and awards before Einstein, some even more coup many for there inventions,
how many of those scientists with noble prices and their hypothesis is recognizable as Einstein's singular equation?. That is the power of an introvert deeps and expression.

Well, if being an introvert is the reason why I'm shy, antisocial, don't know the right word to say when I'm with people, keeping to myself every time, don't like going out so I don't get to be around people, don't pick calls 'cos I don't wanna talk to anyone, don't greet my neighbors when I see them...then it sucks big time! If I could change, I'd do that ASAP

Nothing is wrong with being an Introvert
It just our nature and there's nothing we can do about it.

People tend to wonder why will a mature good looking guy like myself love to stay mostly indoors even on weekends but the truth is I love it.

I have all I need indoors.
Ps4
Dstv
Dvd
Books
Psp
And my phone to call family members and girlfriends..

With enough drinks in my fridge and foods in the kitchen and 24 hours electricity ( generator and nepa) I don't see any reason why I should go out and hang out in an uncomfortable place and gossip. if u need my company I can give u 15 minutes of my time and you will have to do all the talking ooo as I don't talk much.

People around us view us as alpha male/female because we are unpredictable and extremely mature for our age. We don't talk much but when we do people tend to listen..

With such nature people tend to give u some certain level of respect as they don't really know much about you..

We are more.
Mentally and Emotionally mature than people think. Our strength and weaknesses is a mystery to them
We are playful but only to those who are really close to us. We are fun but our fun must be indoors.


When I marry my wife will really enjoy my companionship.

In my next life I will still be an Introvert.


Oh brother I love this, an introvert too, u just narrate d kind of life I like.

Yeah it really sucks, being in your own world all the time and not willing to let others in. But then, it helps when you have extroverted friends who can offer a sort of balance.

I have stayed in a house for weeks without stepping past my gate, I know I can do it for a longer time if I have everything I need in the house with little ones to go on errands. Sometimes, nothing appeals to me than my own company and if not for work , I guess I won't be seeing people all the time too.

Offcourse we use other people's brain, our's can't be idle too. E.g Bill gates have workers that make up his workforce. He dictates what you do for him( one need his/her brain for that).

melancholy, yhur reasons sound more melancholic than introvercial. But thanks God, you know yourself.
Seems like you get easily agitated outside.

Why do you hate notice me attitude?
Do yourself strong?

Every human needs attention to be healthy, if you abhor it, then.

such is the gift of been extrovercial. It an extrovert quality not introvert, cause in the eyes of an introvert everyone is imperfect, no one can do it better. While an extrovert knows how to harness what you have, manipulate it to benefit himself.

Funny thing is I can't keep friends for long they start to bore/annoy me and it's really bad. + I do that a lot, lock myself up for weeks.

As an introvert you hardly please me, will scrutinize your work till i say yes perfect! Some works by other people have been in the perfect range for me. Billgate,Steve job are all introverts and they manipulate for their benefit, It is not necessary an extrovert thing...you just have to know the right string to pull.
