Been through lots of posts here and I've noticed people seem to be battling with their personalities.

I've been through what most of you are currently experiencing and I fully relate with the feeling. Sometimes I feel genuinely sad when I read through y'all post.

I've been through lots of depressions, battled with inferiority complex, and also experienced social awkwardness. Communicating with others was difficult as I often don't know what to say in conversations. Plus I had zero friends.

At first, I blamed it at my personality (being an introvert). But later on, I got to discover that my personality wasn't a disadvantage. It's actually a blessing.

The thing is, if you don't make deliberate efforts to understand and know yourself, you'll always think you have a problem.

I took on the task to understand my personality— devouring all I could on subjects pertaining to psychology and philosophy.

Little by little, I started understanding my likes and dislikes; my tastes; my preference; my kind of music etc. I learned to accept myself and it changed everything.

I got abreast with my abilities and worked on my flaws. I'm far from being perfect but I love myself more and I'm much happier than I used to be. I still fall into depression sometimes but I don't remain there. I always manage to get up and keep forging through life.

Dear introvert, the fact you're not like the rest of the larger population of the world is exactly what makes you unique. You've got more abilities and skills than you realize. Stop trying to become what you're not just because people tell you you're "weird."

You can be an introvert and still accomplish great things. The first step is to fully understand who you are.

Your Creator infused this personality in you because He felt it's what you'd needed for a successful life. It's not a mistake you're the way you are.

If you're like me, you probably don't have a lot of friends. But sometimes you just want to share your feelings and burdens with someone who genuinely understands you.

I've created a WhatsApp group which you're welcome to join

No criticism. No back lash. Just a family of fellow introverts ready to listen and support each other. You're not alone.

Embrace yourself.
Wear your insecurities.
There are over 7 billion people in the world and no one is like you. That's your power.

Goodluck folks.

At this moment of self isolation, I always feel like going outdoors because my privacy/solitude has been invaded... Can't even enjoy my me time again


Who feels same

DivineGrace123:


It is different for those whose kids are now indoors 24/7.

dammypat:
Staying indoor if I am not going to work is a bliss for me,I enjoy my company,I don’t keep friends,I hardly share my pains as I go through them alone,heal and bounce back,I’ve outgrown not talking in the midst of people,I can address a crowd,I hate being dependent on people and I have a lot of DIY skills because my brain functions well when I am alone,I hate noise and having too much people around reason why I am choosing a garden wedding party of not more than 20 people(I pray hubby agrees)
A guy I dated for a short time once told me,I have a problem because I am not outgoing but I am grateful to God for the kind of person I am,my mom is always grateful too and do thank me for giving her peace of mind even though I am 7hrs away from home
I am an introvert but outspoken and bold when I’m being cheated,I am a loyal friend,keep secrets,deep thinker and can’t double date,I don’t joke with my peace of mind,I love nature,the moon,waters and mountains especially,I also love seeing new places.
Shout out to all introverts here,we are the strongest beings on earth.

ayanbaba2:


everything is 101%

what kind of music do you like listening to?

every of my colleagues hate the genre of music I have on my playlist... I don't give a fuc.k because, I still look out for more of those "good" music.

lastly, I have always cut my coat according to my clothes! no pressure at all.



kudos!

dammypat:

I love RnB,worship songs,old songs and songs that talks about realities of life I love reading,writing and watching movies I am also very creative

DivineGrace123:


You have almost the same traits as I.

I believe an introvert should also date or marry a fellow introvert or at most an ambivert. People always say such relationship will be boring but I don't believe it will be boring especially if both of them are in love with each other. I am not sure an introvert-extrovert relationship will work. One of my friends is having issues in her marriage because of this. Her husband is an introvert while she is an extrovert. So, this is really creating issues in her marriage because her husband loves staying indoors whereas the wife loves having fun and the like. I know sometimes, it is possible for them to complement each other but I still believe introvert-introvert relationships will work best than introvert-extrovert relationships.

Just my opinion though.

dammypat:


You nailed it sis,
Introvert-introvert or ambivalent relationship is the best,The said guy in my write up was an extrovert, my staying indoor was literally a big deal to him,he thought I was abnormal,it was hard for him to understand my kind of person,major reason we couldn’t stay long,he was my opposite.
I believe in introvert-introvert relationship,they’ll understand each other better,bring out the best in each and have a peaceful marriage

Karleb:

I feel your pain.

This is exactly what I hate about this thread.

They all come here to celebrate how awesome and great it is to be an introvert but deep down, that's all a facade.

Many here are married, have a good job but are still suffering from social anxiety. Many here have never made a single friend in their life, the friends they have made them.

...and y'all still think this is normal?

This thread should be focused on how to make people better. How to make people come out of their shell and face the harsh realities of life.

But what do we have?

I think the thread should be deleted. It has lost its purpose.

Hello everyone,

i have been a silent member of this thread and i think i should express the way i have been feeling this past period... please pardon the rant... i just need to let out some steam

EDIT: i have to cut out a large chuck of this, so that it would be short for you guys to read.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Being an introvert isn't that bad, what is worst is being an introvert and also a stammerer... yep that is me.

well i have come to accept the fact the way it is and there is nothing that can be done about it

i am the type of person that is scare of any thing that would single me out, i remember how my heart pound when i am asked a question in school that will make me express my self... i dont know if its the fear of me stammering or that "introverted fear" that will make my voice shaky and my hand sweaty with a cold feet.

Because of my kind of personality i so so so much love to stay indoors -at least it makes me to reduce the way i meet and mingle with people, but as i grew older, i knew i will have responsibilities to bear, so some months ago i got a job.

the day i resume my job, what was in my head was "how will i cope with this people", "how will i socialize" and i am amazed that i survived after 2 and a half month and funny enough, no body talks to me in the office except when its critical. My kind of job is one that i would need to be relating with people everyday and God has done it, i have been able to adapt -this still remain a testimony.

so let me talk about me being depressed, that i was so close to commit suicide.

Over the past year i have been extremely depressed, despite i got a job but i still feel like a failure - i did so poorly in school, that my career is in ruin, currently my mate went to NYSC and i am still here- i dont even have the hope of going in the next two years; and no body in my family knows or even bother to ask me except one of my aunt.

i had to summon so much courage to tell my aunt not to expect anything from me because i have fail them...well that what i get when i cant have a conversation with others family members and them even not bothering to know how i have been coping for the last four years in school.

let me spare you all my misery and tell a bit about my social life...

the only person i call my friend, that i could talk too is avoiding me, why, he told me "he now has more contacts" meaning he doesn't need my company again every since he came back from NYSC camp, we barely chat unlike before, he probably made new friends there over there, friends he thinks are better than me... he is the only person i open up to tell what i am passing through... he doesn't even know the reason i come online in whats app is just to communicate with him, well... i will survive.

oh i didn't mention he has a girl friends more of a f***k mate now, probably devoting his time to her.

so when all these things happened, i figure that " hey dude (me) its time to get out of the shell, see if you can make news friends or in this case see if you can make a girl friend.

i feel so shy among people especially the opposite sex, i tried having a girl friend and it all failed, i am even lost interest in trying but i just have to keep pushing on.

i feel most of you may be asking why is he concern about having a girl friend, well, i just need someone of the opposite sex to talk to, all my life i have away been with my guys, so i want to know how it feels like talking to someone else.

for the last 3 days, every evening, i would just walk around my neighborhood thinking of who i can talk to but unfortunately i have seen none... rather i have seen none like me.

i apologize for boring you with my long tales...i just needed to air it out, in case i am not there anymore, let me have someone/thing to speak for me
