This is exactly how I feel.


Same here.


Well that'd certainly be the best way to look at it.

Most people who talk to me (those i've let in enough to actually get to know me) say that I have a lot to say and enjoy talking to me. Especially if they need a different outlook on the situation or just need someone to listen. Still, I put yes because I may seem boring to some people, usually it's the people who I worry might find me boring. Not so much that I think they would, but because I worry too much about what i'm saying and analyze it so much it either comes out wrong or loses it's impact. This is only around people I first meet or don't really know that well. Unfortunately, it happens when I try to start relationships too, which might be why they like me at first and then shy away after awhile, because i'm afraid to show interest for fear of it not being returned. Since I don't read even the most obvious body language, it makes it almost impossible for me to tell also.

I worry that others think my social life is
boring (because it is ! ),even if they find me
interesting enough to talk to on other levels.

I don't worry about that anymore. The last time anyone told me that I was boring was about 5 years ago. I'm bizarre, I'm unusual but boring I ain't.

Hello...?

There are two tricks to being interesting; listening, and being interested in a lot of things. Takes a little practice, but works like a charm.

I'm boring to some, but generally not to people I find interesting.

Haha, that reminds me.

I was sitting outside talking to myself, and apparently the flies come outside at 5:21.

I was annoyed with them, nevertheless I kept talking.

Then I got the great idea to let one of them just stay where there were at.

So, when one landed on my arm, I stayed still.

I talked to it, and at first it just stayed there.

Then it got up and flew away.

So I literally bored a fly.

Wow.

:lol:

Nope, if I'm boring, than that's what I'll be.

Do people think I'm boring? Oh, absolutely. Do I care? Absolutely not, because anyone who thinks that I'm boring is boring in my own opinion.

I have a strong tendency to bore people. In fact, I was wondering if my loneliness and relatively short history of bullying stems from it.

I don't worry about it, cos if someone thinks I'm boring then they're the one who's probably boring. I'm not a dull person. I have eclectic interests, a strong intellect, and great taste in music, film and art. If that's boring to some people, then that's quite unfortunate.
