JacksonMS: oh! please don't say that again. That's a very terrible thing to say about one's self and i am sorry you feel this way. You are not useless and a relationship won't prove otherwise. I perceive loads of insecurity surrounding you. Work on you bro. 1 Like |

JacksonMS: Jackson, you're too funny ![]() ![]() You once said you'll sell your soul to have a gf. I remember a pretty lady giving you green light but you failed to take her up on the offer. You couldn't even give up your fear for a chance at happiness. ![]() The problem is not that your life is useless, it's that you've refused to do anything about it. Work on yourself. |

Hmmn this thread ehn If I start my own, everywhere go full. But I'm in a relationship though. I've been with this girl since my university days (100l sef) and she's a very cool and lovely type. But most times, I just get tired and feel like being on my own and all. I've actually 'broken up' with this girl several times, but she just won't let go....she's this strong and determined type. In short, she's the reason we're still together after all these years. I've had funny/interesting experiences with other girls too (they'll tell u that cool and brilliant boy). Mehn, e no easy o. I've always been with my phone, TV and jotter (not diary, keeping diary is maddd) since I've been around for holiday. I don't leave this house expect for Chelsea's match and Mosque. It's cool to find peace in yourself, to enjoy your own company, to have time for yourself and reflect, to mind your business and all...but it's necessary we find a way to balance it with life demands.... 6 Likes |

Xzbit91:Honestly JacksonMS case is no longer that of introversion but low self esteem. Introverts are quiet & reserved. But it is totally different from low self esteem. JacksonMS ur case is low self esteem which is as a result of things u were told growing up & how u were raised. U think u are useless because that was what u were told growing up. U really need physical coaching & orientation. If u are like this online, I can't imagine how u will be in the real world. U are living a life of fear, which is very bad for a man. How do u even perform at ur work place with such mindset? If a pretty lady should engage u in a conversation physically, I am very sure u will run away or collapse ![]() 1 Like |

Hello Introverts! I've been scared of dropping my comment here.... Well, it's good to be here. I'm an introvert... lemme say ambivert (but 80% introverted). I prefer being on my own. I cherish my solitude. When I come out of my shell, I take the lead. It's so funny I love leadership. I took the lead all through my uni days but always looked for a quiet place to refuel myself. Sometimes, my social battery runs down faster than I can imagine. Also, I've never been in a relationship and I ain't planning on being in one soon. Finally, sometime in 2018, i found solace and tranquility in penning my pains, fears and rejection. I wrote poems that emanated from the pains, oppression, depression and rejection happening in my surroundings. Am I welcome here ![]() 5 Likes |

hello introverts, Going through these posts made me understand a couple of things about myself. However, my character baffles me. i may term it spiritual. Heres the thing. i have been struggling with finding happiness in people or myself. i sometimes just drive to a park alone and watch people smile and laugh and wish i could do that. i have tried having friends but in the end happiness doesnt come through. i finally resorted to spoiling myself with choicest of gifts, this seemed to have worked for sometime but the whole fun phase dropped. To be more descriptive, i am a single dude with 6 cars, two quad bikes and a power bike. which were gotten in quick succession all to keep the flow of happiness going. i have received criticism from both friends and foes alike. My colleagues think i am insane, neighbours always find a way to get on my nerves cos i am the only single dude in the compound and a host of other issues that arise day to day. Presently , its just a lack of taste in life now. i dont see any reason for me to hustle like my peers and make money. running all the machines takes a good portion of my pocket and i dont want to be a wreck and all. i apologize for venting via my long intro but this should just be the first time i am introducing myself in reality. its really frustrating. People around me seem so happy and expect me to be swimming in happiness but its the reverse. sigh. Anyway, i am a virgo and firstborn if this helps. if anyone's in my shoes. i did like a quote on this because it would go a long way to make me believe i am 100% normal human. 3 Likes |

megatran:U are very normal But six cars?? What for? |
Re: Introverts Lounge (Extroverts Pls Keep Off !!) by Akposy(m): 8:02pm On Dec 28, 2019 |
megatran:I may not have those things you listed but i can relate. My boss once asked if I have emotions. Most times, nothing seem to excite me. I find it difficult to keep up with "happiness". I found comfort in cooking and writing. Also, little kids gives me joy, especially a playful kid You're not alone. We ain't normal...we are unique but need to work on ourselves |
Re: Introverts Lounge (Extroverts Pls Keep Off !!) by babtoundey(m): 10:47pm On Dec 28, 2019 |
megatran: This your own case seem veeery extreme o; at least, to me. I was thinking I live with the rarest case of introversion until I get to read of yours. Though I can relate with.the first instance. In fact it is what I do regularly. Once in a while, I cherish being in the midst of jovial and playful people without adding any remark or reaction to liven the atmosphere. I will just advise you free yourself; be free with people. Forget the disturbing thought and baseless opinion that your neighbor, friends or acquaintances are at your neck, scrutinize your move and progress or care less about you. I simply wonder how buying gift for oneself, buying some materials possessions here and there guarantee satisfaction or happiness. Unless one wants to deceive oneself. You can't keep buying gift for yourself in quest of happiness. It can hardly work and cannot be replaced with the comfort you get when you share gifts with friends or relatives. No matter how isolated (or even unfriendly you may seem) a handful of people will always be interested in knowing you and being with you. |

megatran: Sometimes, our interests could help, but people don't know. No matter how introverted you are, there will be some things that really interest. You can pick these things up and make fun out of them, by so doing you'll meet people that also love those things; be free, chat with them, have fun and all. Example; if you like basketball, you can always take like a day or two to go and play. You'll meet people like you there, you chat, have fun and all. You can even meet a future partner, we can't say Yours could be football, music and shows, movies and theater, visiting natural heritages etc |

chikk: when you say force out of ones shell, it may seem super possible on paper or thought. However, in reality its difficult for an introvert to change. just speaking for myself though |

babtoundey:thank you for your input. it is nice to know that one is not alone in his boat. You mentioned sharing gifts to friends and relatives. i guess my upbringing must have a crack in it. i mean about loving people and expecting love from people. i was raised to be though and the show of love was rather seen as weakness. so i just bottle up, when i loose i swallow the pain and for gain i take the credit and share if i am in the mood. Although, far from the topic. For unknown reasons i cant seem to cry even at very trying times. i have always wished to have that experience in its good or bad form. But whenever such happens i get angry. My friends do tease me then that i am canon of emotions and that when i would find the right person that would strike that chord, i would be sobbing like a child lol. On a more serious note , i am beginning to feel like i am saying too much 2 Likes |

megatran: I too experience the same thing.... Maybe it's due to the fact that one has faced difficult situations and persevered such that the broken pieces left behind has accumulated and solidified into one impenetrable wall causing any thing that will be able to create an upset to be mighty greater than what you have ever experienced before. I don't think I can lose anything to cry about. It could my attitude towards the things of life which I see as transient and vanity. In fact, sometimes I picture someone close dying, even my siblings, and I don't see my self crying, maybe a little troubled, but not devastated. It's crazy but I've come to accept it. Probably, during the course of my life all these will change, but for now. .......It is how it is.... Happy New Year in advance y'all. 1 Like |

People find it hard to understand my nature, I dodge my neighbours, avoid shallow conversations, stay indoors most times, hardly mingle except book reviews I go for because it makes sense. No girlfriend, emotions are subdued and I hate to let my feelings known to people because i find it hard to trust. Only few people have stuck around me. But then when I speak I keep people spell bound, I'm a bit of a perfectionist, sometimes I don't talk so people don't find me intimidating.Only few have come to know me. 4 Likes |

megatran: Nah... I don't plan to change anyone. - Come out once in a while and do whatever it is you normally do - but in the company if others - scream into the wild night, rambling ocean, etc. - laugh hard -Then go home and sleep or whatever. Life is too short. |
