ask an introvert anything

[AmbotSaEMO]

Anything na related sa pagiging introvert lang...

Feeling ko lang madami akong mababahaging kaalaman sa ganitong personality, pati yung mga conditions na madalas maranasan ng mga introvert such as depression, anxiety and mood disorders.

Ako, everyday my battle starts once I get on the jeepney and bus to work. I avoid going out ALONE because I feel like I'm always subject to judgment. Kawawa naman siya, mag-isa lang. Yung ganon. Hindi mga stranger ang nagsasabi ng ganon. Sila yung mga narerecognize ako dahil either kilala ako personally or dahil taga don ako...in some cases kapareho lang ng network sa facebook or other social websites. The truth is I enjoy my alone times although I won't survive one day without making conversation with at least one person. Almost everyday I have to deal with coworkers who feel superior over me because I'm quiet and usually solo.

I love going out and hanging. I'm not shy either. I'm capable of expressing myself on the spot but I get easily bored from small talk. I prefer eating out and shopping in far places where not many could recognize me. I also can't keep up with the pace of a professional workplace because of depression.

This is not about me. I know some people who frequent internet forums who can identify with my story. Feel free to write me.

Wrong forum din yata. Paki-move na lang po sa FFS. Thanks...

I hate it when a person is so madaldal at kalog sa PEX pero napaka-introvert at mahiyain in person kapag na-meet mo.

To TS, pwedeng magtanong about anything?

Mas okay na yun, baka nahihiya lang sa una, kesa sa kunwari mabait sa PEX, sa personal pala eh ubod ng sama ang ugali.

Sa Forum naman kasi, madaling magpanggap eh.

Madami diyan nagpapanggap na:

-matalino
-maganda/pogi
-mabait
-mayaman
-walang asawa
-madaldal



kagaya ko, nagpapanggap akong maganda, ganun talaga, yun ang paniniwala ko eh

at mapagkumbaba.

ano pa idadagdag?


ay teka, ako ba yung sinasabihan mong nagpapanggap na humble?

[Impenneteri]

ikaw may sabi nyan.

yung humble ay maganda na para sa akin...

[jazzmine22]

^ ah okay, wala naman kasi akong sinasabi dito sa Pex na humble ako eh, kaya nililinaw ko lang

Oo nga, aanhin mo ang maganda, ubod naman ng yabang?

Kahit pangit, basta sweet. Haha.

During my younger years, ang alam kong version niyan madaldal sa bahay pero tahimik sa school. Some of the kids I babysit are also like that. Masunurin kapag kami lang pero uncontrollable kapag nandyan yung mommy. That's so normal.

As for online pretenders, I couldn't care less. If I know who the person is or what s/he looks like at least, I'll be interested in how they form their thoughts and opinions and how they invent their stories. I don't judge. People have to de-stress one way or another. I'd rather that person pretend online as an anonymous than in front of me.

[razzer_rising]

Baka naman tahimik lang sa simula since first time makita.

Introvert - madalas na problema ng mga pangit.

[chizmojo]

I'm an introvert in real life. Ask me anything.

[AmbotSaEMO]

Haha thanks for trolling.

Even some goodlooking people are introverted. The only edge they have with the not so goodlooking ones is they can get away with it and they gain more sympathy than resentment...

[kongersman]

EMO may nagtrigger bang experience nung bata ka pa kaya naging ganyan ka?

[kongersman]

Haha thanks for trolling.

Problema kasi sa mga introvert, feeling nila lagi silang under scrutiny and parang di nila masasatisfy yung judgment ng iba dahil nga sa pangit sila. Yun ang ibig kong sabihin sa problema ng mga pangit.

[AmbotSaEMO]

You must be really ignorant to think that way. Maraming pangit na masagana ang social life. Hindi lahat ng problema, kapangitan ang ugat. Physical appearance doesn't have anything to do with being an introvert. It's beyond that.

[kongersman]

Ignorant o pwede ring limited lang ang nalalaman dahil kokonti ang kilala kong introvert and lahat sila pangit.

Kaya nga nagtatanong di ba?

[AmbotSaEMO]

Tao rin naman kasi ang introvert. Hindi mo naman laging alam kung introvert ba ang tao o hindi unless makilala mo ng husto. Maraming successful na introvert. Marami ding artistang maganda at gwapo na introvert, mapa-Pilipinas o Hollywood. You must be confusing shyness and low self-esteem with introversion.

This is a nice book:

Quiet: The Power of Introverts in a World That Can't Stop Talking
by Susan Cain

At least one-third of the people we know are introverts. They are the ones who prefer listening to speaking, reading to partying; who innovate and create but dislike self-promotion; who favor working on their own over brainstorming in teams. Although they are often labeled "quiet," it is to introverts that we owe many of the great contributions to society--from van Gogh’s sunflowers to the invention of the personal computer.

Perhaps most inspiring, she introduces us to successful introverts--from a witty, high-octane public speaker who recharges in solitude after his talks, to a record-breaking salesman who quietly taps into the power of questions. Finally, she offers invaluable advice on everything from how to better negotiate differences in introvert-extrovert relationships to how to empower an introverted child to when it makes sense to be a "pretend extrovert."

This extraordinary book has the power to permanently change how we see introverts and, equally important, how introverts see themselves.

[kongersman]

Very enlightening. Nagkataon lang siguro na yung mga nakilala kong introverts eh pangit.

Care to answer my first question? nati-trigger ba yung pagiging introvert? experience nung childhood or traumatic incident?

[AmbotSaEMO]

Hindi. Pinanganak akong ganon. I was also trained to be a "pretend extrovert" for my "survival" in school. It's not as negative as it sounds. It helped me in great lengths.
