INTROVERTS - You're in!

[jtansanco]

^ I think it depends on how you were brought up. As for me, I'm an only child so wala ako makausap sa bahay. And then my parents were really strict back then na bawal ako gumimik so after school, derecho bahay ulit. So nasanay na to the point na ayaw ko na magchange.

[kenjiekenj]

^me too school-bahay lang ang routine ko dati. Parents are not super strict naman. Theres just this situation na I felt rejected kaya yun simula nun I'm afraid to voice out my opinions and ideas to others. And ako kasi yung tipong If I have problems, I want to keep it to myself nalang and wont tell my parents even close friends.

Good for you masunurin ka. Haha I know some people na only child lang din and pinaghihigpitan ng parents thats why parang naging outgoers and pariwara talaga kasi hindi na makahinga sa sobrang higpit.

[jtansanco]

^ Another reason maybe is nung bata ka, whenever may nagtatanong sayo, your parents were the ones answering the questions? Ganon nangyari sa akin e. Back when I was a kid, some people would ask me stuff but my parents were quick to answer. It came to a point na sanay akong sila sumasagot and nakatahimik nalang ako buong time.

Actually, now that I'm older, nagiging liberated na because they still spoil me so much na they still think I'm a little boy. Can't blame them since I'm their child but they have to realize their kid has to grow up soon. Ang problema lang sa akin, ang hirap magchange sa nakasanayan! Haha

Natural na ba sa inyo yung pagiging introvert? Or theres a certain situation that made you become one?

I think natural na sa akin ang pagiging introvert, pero dumagdag pa yung pagpapalaki sakin kasi medyo "perfectionist" mga kasama ko. Madali sa kanila to give criticisms kaya medyo pigil ang mga actions ko. Alala ko pa, back in preschool to early elem, I was bullied so bumaba na confidence ko at a very young age. since then hindi nako talaga naging friendly, sobrang piling pili yung sinasamahan ko.

May habit din ako pag nanonood ng movies, gusto ko ako lang mag-isa. Hihintayin ko matulog sila lahat tapos magpupuyat ako by watching films, surfing the net and being with my dogs. I prefer night time kasi mas tahimik. Sometimes I go out to shop or to eat na ako lang mag-isa, I could do these for months, tapos pag bagot na bagot na talaga, nag-aaya ng hangout with friends. Ganun lang buhay ko at masaya naman ako

[kenjiekenj]

^Hindi naman. They allow me naman to join the conversation and answer by myself. Pero sometimes diba pasaway and its normal, pag pinagalitan ka its like they're very comfortable na pagalitan ako sa harap ng relatives namin.. Parang for them wala lang yun. Tapos pag may mga celebrations sa bahay, ako ayaw ko talaga lumabas lalo na pag hindi ko kilala yung mga bisita, sa room lang ako music internet movies ganun. but my mom would really knock my door and tell me na lumabas naman daw ako sa kwarto at makihalubilo sa mga bisita, tago nalang daw ako ng tago. (Pag ganun super irritated na ako and will just close my eyes for a second as if I heard nothing) haha. Kung lumabas man ako magpapakita lang ako sandali then back to regular programming LOL

Sabi mo nasanay ka na maging tahimik all the time and hinahayaan mo na sila sumagot I wanna ask, hindi ka naman naging indecisive because of that?

May times ganon. Especially nung time na wala sila, nahirapan ako sumagot minsan since nasanay ako na sila sumasagot. Guess it's just part of growing up. Now, there are still times na I try not to answer some questions kasi hindi ko alam paano sasagutin so I just find ways to evade it without "lying".

[kenjiekenj]

Napansin ko tayong mga introverts may mga similar interest. I'm curious, do you guys like ghost/paranormal stuffs rin?


 

[stylishmomy]

^Not Me. Actually I dont like the idea, but I know some introverts who are into that "stuff"

I guess Im not really an "introvert" but rather someone who has lost trust and expectation over people so I prefer to distance myself to possible new "friendship" or tend not to share too much information to others.

[abuanddiego]

I'm curious, do you guys like ghost/paranormal stuffs rin?

I'm not really into paranormal stuffs but I like documentary and investigative shows. I like researching alot too, learning/discovering something new really excites me. I'm a quiet person but I'm very curious, like ko rin magexperiment 

[vainwriter]

^^i also felt that it's easier when i became a wife and mom kasi i know my priorities. i know extrovert moms na wala pa din ginawa kundi gumimik and while that isn't bad at all, they have to admit nanababawasan yung time nila para sa family at bahay...sayang yung oras imo

when i was younger i like paranormal stuff pero nung nagkabahay na kami ayoko na lagi kasi ako naiiwan like ko din docus. it seems to me that introvs are into intelligent stuff hahaha

[jtansanco]

Probably not for me. Since I sleep on my own, I just don't like the thought of waking up in the middle of the night thinking "something" is looking at me. Haha

[kenjiekenj]

Ah I see.. Ako mahilig ako magbasa and watch movies about ghost/paranormal stuffs. Para bang mystical ang dating for me whenever I read good stories. And for movie, I never felt afraid of them until I watched insidious! Haha kuhang kuha niya yung "takot" na gusto ko and the story is good.yun nga lang hindi ko narin siya iisipin before sleep dahil matatakot lang din ako.

I also love traveling. But with companion. Afraid to travel by myself lang. The problem is kahit may companion ako e minsan iba yung gusto nila sa gusto ko kaya sometimes naiisip ko dapat pala ako nalang mag isa (pero hindi ko naman kaya) I think this is one thing is should practice this 2013 to become independent sa mga simpleng bagay.

Do you guys have this kind of instinct na whenever you see this person, parang alam mo na kung makakasundo mo siya or hindi? Madalas ganun ako, and suprisingly, tama talaga. Like I saw this person tapos parang for me yung aura niya hindi ko gusto or I felt umcomfortable pero meron naman ako makikita na ok na ok for me na mafefeel mo talaga na walang halong kaplastikan.

[jtansanco]

^ Yeah, same here. I can't travel alone. That's too boring for me. Kung may gusto ako isama, iba naman gusto gawin kaya parang ayaw ko rin isama. In short, di na natutuloy mga travel plans. Hanggang plans nalang. Haha. Same din sa instincts. I could tell if makakasundo ko yung person after the first meeting. Simple lang for me, if mas mayabang ka sa akin (although di naman talaga ako mayabang), we're not going to be good friends. Pag sa girl, more of attraction lang naman. Haha

[Serena.]

^^KENJIEKENJ. OMG, i find it so funny sobrang parehas tayo haha! Pati sa paranormal things, i have my own library na karamihan puro books about paranormal. And dito ako lalo na-amaze about sa instinct na sinasabi mo. GANYANG GANYAN ako. Super galing ng instinct ko when meeting new people. Alam na alam ko agad kung nasa loob ang kulo o mabait, or kung makakasundo ko o hindi. Kaya alam ko pag kaylangan kong isawan the people around me sa unang meet pa lang. And never pa ko nagkamali about them. Hahah!! This is so funny, andami palang common traits ng introverts! HAHA!!

[kenjiekenj]

Nakakatuwa nga. I thought yung pagkukulong lang sa kwarto and pagiging tahimik yung commonalities natin. andami pa pala! Hindi pala ako nag iisa. haha

Aren't we all siblings with different parents? Haha gulo.

[aiden]

Feeling ko introvert ako. Mas madalas mas relaxed ako mag-isa kahit malling and working out. Hehe. Nung maliit ako madaldal naman ako ganun but when I started to take reading as a hobby nung Grade e ako, nag-mellow down ako and then I preferred reading na than hanging out. Well, I still hang out but may bitbit na libro ganun. LOL. Hindi ako ang life of the party ika nga lol.

Pinipili ko rin makakasama ko sa travels... yung friends ko nung college kasundo ko sa lakaran, yung naging officemates ko sa isang work ko ok din, and my bf now hubby. yung friends nya di ko masyado type kasama sa travels, kahit nga sa malapit lang eh LOL. yung family ko (mom, dad, sibling) di ko rin kasundo sa travels hehe

Dati malakas loob ko to travel alone...pero ngayon hindi na parang nasanay na ko na for years hindi ako mag-isa magbakasyon.

Re instinct, TUMPAK! Ganyan din ako. sa unang tingin/usap pa lang alam ko na kung magkakasundo kami ng isang tao. Maganda na rin yung ganun kasi I avoid wasting time on people na hindi ko kayang pakisamahan in the long run.

may nabasa na kong article na ganyan, that because introverts can spend more time with introspection they can assess others' attitudes, etc.

[cheskacruz]

Hahaha... I love to travel but I need a companion too and yes, dahil sa I am an observer madalas, when I see this person alam ko na kagad na makakasundo ko siya and yes totoo nga.

when it comes to films, type ko rin yung may mysteries at yung pagiisipin kang mabuti, pero hate na hate ko yung gore movies, nandidiri ako.

I like travelling alot too, with closest friends and family, gusto ko yung close to nature, like when we went to Coron, haaay heaven para sakin yun.

Malakas din ang instinct/intuition ko when it comes to people and future, parang isang tingin ko lang alam ko na kung okay sya or hindi. Sa aura din ako nagbabase, at madalas tama ang unang hinala ko. I always tell my family and friends kung ano tingin ko sa mga friends nila to serve as a warning hehe. May mga times din na may mga bagay/happenings akong iisipin for few days, example may magkakasakit, accident or may madededs, madalas sa dogs ko naiisip since sila lagi kasama ko. as in yun lang nasa isip ko, super lungkot ng feeling, di ko maintindihan bakit. Then pag nakalimutan ko na, all of a sudden biglang magkakatotoo, not exactly the same sa naisip ko pero within my circle, madalas sa family members.

I think isa ito sa traits nating mga introverts na very useful sa buhay, we tend to observe alot so mas careful tayo sa choices/decisions Pero umaabot ba kayo sa point na nagiging perfectionist na kayo? Ako guilty dito haha!

[Serena.]

^GUILTY AKOOOO!! Haha!
