Geez introverts use a lot of emoticons, also I don't even know half of the words that introverts apparently use so often.

naman
akong
lahat
wala
sakit

???

After a bunch of Googling they appear to be Tagalog words which is a native language of the Philippines.

Naman - again expression of gentle protest or denial; also; rather; really; too; likewise; //"Wala akong sakit" is far different than "Wala naman akong sakit." The reason is simple. The first is a mere declaration, the second is a declaration with implications.
Akong - I; me; I the; me to; me the; even me; me a; I be; am; I am; have; //"Ako" means 'I'; "ng" is affixed to imply the next word is related to "ako."
Lahat - all; altogether; collective; entire ; every; everyone; everything; general; public; total; whole;
Wala - absence; absent; gone; lack; lost; negation; no; none; not any; nothing; zero;
Sakit - abnegation; ache; agony; disease; feeling of pain; illness; pain; physical suffering; sick; sickness; to ache;

As someone from the Philippines, I believe that the meaning I highlighted are technically what the people who say them mean.

I'm also really surprised that there are a lot of Filipino introverts on social media.


Thanks! I knew there were some Filipinos here that could help out. I just used some random online translator for the words; which actually seems to be fairly accurate.
