Lagos, Nigeria — Big Brother Naija Season 10 housemate, Dede, has opened up about her battle with social anxiety, offering insight into her reserved behavior in the house.
The revelation came during a conversation with fellow housemate Koyin, where Dede candidly admitted to struggling with social interactions.
In the conversation, Dede asked, “Do you have social anxiety?” to which Koyin replied, “No, do you?” Dede then responded, “Yes, I do.” Koyin, 21, reassured her not to feel uncomfortable about her perceived awkwardness, stating that “such is life.”
Dede’s admission comes after criticism from viewers and fellow housemates regarding her emotionally distant nature and refusal to engage in physical gestures like hugging male housemates.
LEADERSHIP recalls that another housemate, Kulture, once described Dede’s behavior in his diary session with Biggie, saying she acts as though she doesn’t use the toilet — a reference to her detached demeanor.
In her initial diary session, Dede had described herself as an introvert who “doesn’t like people,” emphasizing her discomfort with physical contact and unfamiliar social settings.
Her latest disclosure sheds more light on the challenges faced by individuals living with social anxiety, especially in high-pressure environments like the BBNaija house.
