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.

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

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 ?

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.

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...

Akposy:

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

chikk:






Ha Jesus!! Some posts here are really scary o. Is it that bad??

Oya all of you gather here for a hug... One each please... Don't take more than one hug o....

You all are blessed!!

May be, I should quote you more. Perhaps, you will.be magnanimous to add some kisses.

chikk:


Other people are yet to even get hugs, this uncle wants kisses. Manage the hug mbok. Today is Sunday.

Since the advent of internet I discover that my level of introvert has increased. I can be with my fone, laptops etc without going close to physical human beings.

U are very normal
But six cars??
What for?

Hello introverts... This thread is still alive? Means you guys have much to say after all...

Please I need an introverted friend ooo... Someone to drag around this Christmas (when we have time sha), and force out of her/his shells. Anyone?

Ps: I am not an introvert o, but I can choose to be. Also, please be above 30.

Compliments of the season guys...

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:

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

Ftheophilous:


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.

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
