I have stopped trying to become what I am not. I am a super introvert and not even my intense trials at becoming a bit extroverted would change that.

This So Me. I Caused Lots Of Trouble Back Then In The Neighbourhood. Later Sent To Boarding School Only To Start Craving Really Hard For My Privacy And Got Really Reserved..

Would you say being a boarder changed you?

Sort Of.....
I Started Attending Boarding School In SS1, That's 2013. Was The Loud Type During The First Term. 2nd Term Laidis, I Got Really Reserved And Kept To Myself All The Time Till Now, I Don't Tell People What I Feel. I Don't Have Much Friends Except Those That We Do Read 2geda Now

I no na so we plenty reach.....I am a twin (not-identical)growing up was so much fun playing from house to house, compound to compound, street to street, the whole area knew us. Now grown up, I have become a bit more reserved although as a kid I don't think I was much of a talker compared to my bro. He is more of the out-going type and mostly initiates outings.But when I am on my own ....indoors is bae. I hardly initiates conversations with people I don't know but I can be lousy with close friends. Where I work presently ,it took about a year for some people to know I could talk ....even though my talking is mostly forced. Any female introverts chatting from Ibadan in here?

Thank you so much,I have been into this for 10years with just my husband alone. I came to understand that people keep friend or friends aside their spouse. Only one fits into the friendship circle but she has a lot people around her,so may not even notice me or have my time.And don't like rubbing myself all over people, I'm afraid also of the friend hurting me.

I completely understand your fears and they are real concerns. Just take your time and observe, I'm sure true friend(s) will come around. Humans are actually not designed to be without confidants who we want to trust and tell things to, celebrate with and share with.

sanguines and choleric always wanting others to "grow" from being melancholic and/or phlegmatic... only nigerians who are all knowing thinks so backwards. smh

True.... . They know you hardly talk but if you have to talk you come with a punch line

lol. maturity for you is getting over your introversion....

I've heard alot of rubish, this one is new..

keep living your fake life.. I'll stick to my childish fantasies

@bolded, don't know where you heard that from. I just said "grow up".

It's just an advice. Take it and your future self will thank me for it.

Wow...
That must have been a surprising turnaround.
I also rarely don't tell people what I feel and it has affected my past relationships a lot.
I find emotions too messy to deal with.

No I don't mean ugly, it's when your default facial expression looks unintentionally cold, annoyed etc.

Hello ayorbamy I saw your mentions!
Good evening!

I Find Emotions Messy Too. If I Can't Think Or Concentrate, I Go For A Walk Or Jogging, By D Tym I'm Done, My Head Would Have Cleared. One Of The Reasons I Dnt Get To Close To People. But I Can Be Very Lousy Among My Friends

Lol not as if am ugly o. but I find it awkward to smile on my own.

This Is So Me. People Tell Me I Put On Serious Face A Lot.
