afoobabs:You cannot overcome being an introvert. Anyone who goes about thinking the world is the watching them probably has self esteem issues. You can only overcome being shy, you can build your self confidence and these things are not just applicable to introverts. Just like you can't overcome being an extrovert. Bottom line is, you can't change these things. |

Okay, on my way back to Nigeria, I missed my train to the airport so while trying to get another ticket I ended up sweating like a goat really bad. Eventually, I got a new ticket so had to rush to the place where I'll be boarding. Immediately I got there , I noticed two blacks (both girls) there so I just said hi and they responded. As we were boarding, the younger one just said Nigerian right? ....i replied Yes then she said okay. Fortunately, I am on the same couch with them in the train. However, the younger one caught my attention and had to keep staring at her while she sleeps during the journey. When we got to the train station, we entered same cab and got to the airport together. They said bye; I and the younger one, we've been talking for some time before the bye and I have made up my mind to ask for her number. After the bye, that was it. ![]() I eventually messaged her and added her on snapchat etc. She's not even responding well. Sge was very cool when we met, she was that person willing to talk and I was the guy who wasn't interested in talking to her because of my introvert attitude. Now I feel bad but tho' I'm still going to talk to her after sometime. NB: at the airport, I was so shy to go and ask for her contact but one thing is, the worst regret are the Actions and decisions we didn't take. 5 Likes |

Cleopatra4:You are right. That's what they are saying to me most times. We introverts are full of creativities and motivations. I can only leave my house for what extremely important(work), if I'm not at work, I am with my books, system and my reliable, trusted hazard. 3 Likes

I wasn't introverted as a child but I've discovered that certain circumstances especially those experienced when you're very young can change your personality for life. One of my biggest challenges as an introvert is that I find it difficult to speak very well in public( I've overcome stage fright to a great extent but after my speech, I continue thinking of a million ways in which I could have made it sound better) and I'm studying to be a member of a profession that requires a great deal of oratorical skills. And there's that confusing mixture of Inferiority/Superiority complex. I can't keep friendships, I hate calling so I rarely call because I'd rather we'd just sit face to face and talk. I hate going for parties because it seems that everyone is enjoying themselves and I'm not. I don't want my friends to think I'm a wet blanket so I leave early and come home unhappy, regretting why I even went in the first place. 3 Likes |

Well as an introvert I think friends are overrated. People are so full of shiiit. So to avoid any form of future disappointments i try as much as possible to keep to myself. Though i av friends but they can be counted. 3 Likes |

Divay22: One of my regular sayings.... "I wish the world will just explodes and I am the only survivor: I would live for 5000 years alone." Funny thing is it seems we can type verbosely on the internet. We can reply "for Africa". Perhaps the need to be alone is well supported by being with gadgets and typing our thoughts without being disturbed. We reflect a lot. We think a lot. And we criticize ourselves a lot. A lot of us need to know our strengths and how to better use that attractive thing in us. People are usually curious and at times want to impress us. They want to get close. We are strange to them. But a lot of us blow it. We don't know how to suddenly change and swoop on the opportunity. Both in business, romance, and general living. |
