My boyfriend/husband must be an extrovert. I Can't continue living in a shell. I need to explore the world and see it in all dimensions and perspectives. Introverts tend to view the world from only one point of view- loud, scary, discomforting and unnerving when in actual fact there's more to it. There's the good, exciting, dynamic and interesting part of it. I want to see life and people this way.
Although I can't help but just think of how amazing it would be if I end up with someone that's just like me. Where we don't need to have conversations, there'd be comfort in our silences, we'd spend long hours indoors doing introvert things. where we could spend long hours together without saying a word but understanding each other's thought perfectly well, where we'd decline every invitation to attend whatever event because we'd rather stay home and read a good book or just enjoy the comfort of being secluded . Where we'd not really have any friends because we are more than enough company for each other. Who else can relate?

Being an introvert comes with some down sides, as an introvert I have my own challenges or should I call it excesses lol.
I miss my chances on getting that pretty crush of mine, I fear rejection and I am yet to device a means of handling such when it occurs, even though when the green light is at its peak.
Another one is that I find it hard to maintain closer relationship with people, they complain I don't call them, truth is I prefer texting instead.

I've used to be an introvert ( or I thought i was), though i was always outspoken amongst friends (max i have at a time is 3) until my Undergraduate days, 300L upwards, when people usually say that i have two personalities of which one is great and the other is irritating, i found my self to be an ambivert

Sometimes i can be very jovial, almost talkative in class or in the midst of other crowd. I engage everyone in a discussion and make jokes about almost everyone. One would almost mistake me for a comedian. People love this guy, coupled with the fact that i was among the best in class.

Other days, i will just be on my own, not relating with anyone, just doing my thing. In such cases, I get questions like 'what's wrong?, 'You are not cheerful today' and i will be like 'nothing, I'm fine'. This introvert side of me has caused a lotta misunderstandings especially with the ladies as they expect to always meet that outspoken and jovial guy they kno, and on days I'm not, they will think i am mad at them for something or i am snobbing them, or i just don't want them around.

This lead me to being extra conscious around ladies and try to make my extrovert side available always, a feat i couldn't achieve even with tedious effort. I tried many times to do away with my introvert personality but to no avail. I have stopped trying and have accepted both sides of me.

I do party on occasion and i party hard on such occasions.

I Currently have 3 friends (the highest I've ever had) out if which i frequently communicate with 2 because they contact me frequently. I hardly call my friends. They do most of the calling.

I rarely chat, mostly visit Facebook and Twitter as a ghost (hardly update, comment or tweet)and This is probably my longest post on Nairaland.

As much as i wished (i have stopped wishing) to always be an extrovert, I love the Introvert part of myself as i rarely feel lonely when I'm alone and it gives me ample time to think and plan.

Bolter96:
Actually, I think most people that frequent Nairaland are introverts. Extrovert don't have time for that.

my angoraphobia is xtreme

You guys got me smiling at my phone like a mumu. It's not easy being an introvert, some times I wake up and I don't want to talk to anyone. And they will be like, 'what's wrong with you'.
You all know how it is in our head! We can love ehn! But when we hate, even the devil sits to learn. #1L

Staying out for long makes me unhappy..
Op have you completed that your story

Being an introvert unfortunately, never make friends except we have something in common or have thesame area of interest like being in thesame department in school or we are fans of the same soccer team.
I used to be afraid of rejection, but after being rejected by 2 girls, now I can handle it.
To be honest this world and it's people can be very unforgiving.
To be able to suppress my true nature I chose to be humorous when am in school although I have a good sense of humor, I want pple around me to have a good laugh and enjoy their selves when am around. But I don't get close enough for you to know me, I only let you know what I want you to know. Where am living its more than a year now I don't have any friends. So its a diff. Scenario when am home just me and my self in my playing game on my laptop or doing something else or am here on nairaland.
I have just been rejected by a girl I really like a lot, been trying a lot to let her see I have good intentions. Was talking to her today in the middle of a convo she just told me to keep quiet tried to say a word again she told me to keep shut lol, didn't say anything till I left (we were walking together in a pack) it was quite embarrassing. Didn't say anything to her she felt guilty and kept looking at me all through till I left. Because I told her my feelings she just misbehaves and feels she is entitled to do anything she likes, but guess what I will leave it to her, there are other girls out there.

I find it difficult to make friends...
When I do I just snub them just like that.
People think say I get pride but Na lie I'm one of the most simple person on earth.
Just the introvert thing

thesuave10:
This whole introvert extrovert thing is better explained using the personality type scheme developed by psychologists that is the sanguine melancholy phlegmatic and choleric. I think it's a better description. Because every human being has two sides. An extrovert side and an introvert side. A masculine side and a feminine side. Everyone has this. Your default setting is who you really are because everyone has times where they want to be alone even extroverts

One personality is always more than the other in most people. Only few ppl have balanced personalities aka ambiverts.

I think you mean Agoraphobia. And even a bit of that is extreme in my opinion. How do you deal with it?
