I just hate it when people see quiet people as perfect.You get tagged "The pastor" like you can't go wrong.I told a guy who called me a pastor,"oga,I am not a pastor i am *******.I know I would be judged based on that and not like everyone.pls,share your experiences here.

Same here. The world calls the quiet ones & lovers of God PASTOR. I just hate that.

True

You're right, everyone keeps calling me pastor but I groove normally, maybe the society perceives quiet people as saints and this affects us badly.

. people need to be aware of the fact that they are putting others under pressure.

You're right, really affects badly. The day you'll say NO, they'll tag you evil. Wanting you to please them all time.

. They tend to forget we are not perfect.

Yeah!

Sometimes I cry in my closet for being nice & quiet to a fault.

What I get is respect, not this.

Hmmmm, this is so different for me.

For all my quiet and reserved disposition, people still assume I'm a quiet bahd guy.

Pastor ke...
No one, not even a single person, has ever assumed this of me.

Me too. i have a feeling they're just waiting to catch me doing something bad to confirm their suspicions.
Like during my NYSC, because my gf was serving in the city she could not be coming regularly to where i was, so no woman was entering my room. Everyone was thinking i was doing holy holy, some even asked "why you no dey carry woman?" until the day my babe showed up. I no hear after she left, they were just hailing me.
We human beings love to assume.

In this part of our world being Gentle is a crime

imagine someone intentionally offending you cause they know you wount do anything

Until you don't do their bidding.

You like crying ni,that should be the last thing to make you cry,learn to say no because people might tend to take advantage of you

Thanks for this.

These calling of Pastor thing got me thinking about going into pastorhood. Thank God I'm not alone in this. Now my curiosity is answered.

Na quite we quite, we no be perfect human. We still dey commit sin even pass some bad people.

May God forgive us

You don't understand , with me that 'silence' for some means they don't know what to expect. I don't wanna call it fear.

Yours is better nah, at least they associated the phrase holy-holy with you. I never enjoyed that much grace...

Everytime I have been single in my life, most people hardly believed I was no matter what I said. So I just stopped trying after a while – they ask me about my relationships, and I would say all my women are doing very well.
It was all about confirming what they thought they knew, had no patience to prove otherwise... Lol!

Life is weird
Mind was when my boss was falsely accusing me and she was like that why u quiet pple are devilish, some that gave me the job cos according to her am honest, hardwrking, etc when all she saw was a quiet guy

When I light my Benson switch

I go begin hear..


Ur too gentle to be lightin Benson
Ur too innocent lookin to be lighting benson
Ur such a fine gentle man to be lighting Benson
But brother y RE u lighting Benson?

Some go begin preach word of God




MEanwhile I no come borrow money from any of them to light Benson

I'm an introvert and also a quiet type, I just get tired of some people calling me pastor and also seeing me as that holy guy.

Any small thing they be like, so you also come here? So you can talk like this...

I can relate with all the comments here
The most annoying one is those that assume quiet people are wicked, or that you are plotting something evil if you don’t fight back. But I get lots of respect still

No be lie, ah swr
That's how I was walking to my mum's shop one day so her friend (mum's friend) called me and ask if I'm a seminarian or a monk , I told her No, but she kept on saying I'm too gentle and quiet and that I have a "priestly lifestyle". I just weak
Another one
The day my gf came to my room in school, I no hear word for my lodge, everybody begin hail me oh! The thing sef taya me
