BBNaija Season 10: Housemate Dede Reveals Battle with Social Anxiety

In the ongoing Big Brother Naija Season 10, housemate Dede has candidly revealed her personal struggle with social anxiety, addressing perceptions about her demeanor in the house.

According to a recent update from LMSINT MEDIA, Dede has consistently been a subject of mixed reactions among housemates and viewers alike. Several housemates have labeled her as a “snub” due to her preference for solitude and her choice to avoid physical interactions, especially with male housemates.

During a private conversation with fellow contestant Koyin, Dede openly admitted her struggle:

Dede: “Do you have social anxiety?”
Koyin: “No, do you?”
Dede: “Yes, I do.”

Koyin offered a reassuring response, encouraging her not to stress over occasional social awkwardness. She gently reminded Dede that everyone has unique struggles, stating, “such is life.”

Earlier in the season, during her first diary session with Big Brother, Dede shared that she identifies as an introvert and doesn’t naturally feel comfortable around new people. She went on to explain her hesitation to hug fellow contestants, saying she had no prior relationship with them before entering the show.

“I don’t hug people I just met. I didn’t know them before coming here.”

Despite her quiet nature and introverted tendencies, Dede’s transparency about her mental health challenge is sparking important conversations around social anxiety and emotional awareness in high-pressure environments like BBNaija.
