I do.

This is because in my free time I don't do much except play video games or use the computer. Sometimes I tell my father that it's because we don't do many things together anymore, but when he asks me "What would you like to do?", I have trouble answering the question. I don't really explore any hobbies and I need a hobby outside of technology. I have considered doing Taekwondo so I'll ask my friend at school about it.

Lately I have been very bored also because I have not had any pocket money for months. I try to ask my father for some but I worry that my mother may have something to say about it.

Can anyone recommend any good hobbies outside of the computer?

I don't think I'm boring. I think that I'm quite exciting. The people who think that I'm boring are the ones who have the problem.

Everybody finds me boring. That's why I find it nigh impossible to make friends. But personally, I do not think I'm boring. I have my interests, and I pursue them. If someone sees my enthusiasm for biology, astronomy, or physics boring in comparison to, say, football, that's their concern, not mine.

I think people see me as boring unless they're laughing at something I've said or done.

I don't find myself boring though. A psych teacher in high school once spent the class period observing the students. He wrote that I will never be bored... guess I was having a pretty good time in my own little world at the time :P :D

Most of the stuff in my mind is SO INTERESTING and unusual that I get all excited and want to share it with others... too bad their lives are so boring they can't appreciate good stuff when they hear it! :wink:

People always tell me I am the most extremely boring person they have ever met. It's funny because I am never, nor have I ever been bored. I can always find something interesting to do. If other people don't like it, screw 'em.

I would answer your question with a Yes. I see myself as being a boring person.
However I am not often bored, because I do all sorts of things that interest me. I guess the real answer is that I don't think other people would find me interesting. I would wager that for some it is true, but that many others would indeed find me an interesting person. However because of my negative view of myself I never even try and let others see the real me.
Part of that is the difficulty I have in describing myself as a person. I can describe what I do for work, play, what things I like to eat and such, but to me that isn't what I am as a person. I am not really even able to tell you my definition of what defines a person. That was kind of a revelation to myself as I typed this out.

I don't look at myself as being particularly boring, but everyone else thinks that I am.

I think of myself as boring a lot actually and quite a few people find me boring or more often tiresome.

I don't consider myself boring, but others probably think I am.
