Boring

Post Reply New Topic

Thanks for the encouragement. I saw a play adaptation of Jane Eyre a month ago and it was performed by one woman. I'm 99% certain she's Aspie because she played various characters of a whole play herself which requires, I think, an obsessive interest in the story and also preference for performing alone. I had a look on her production company's page and all the shows she tours with are all performed by her by herself. At the end of the play I watched while the audience were applauding her she told us all to stop. It was sort of funny because most performers wouldn't do that. My sister who was there thought she might be Aspie too. It made me wonder if that kind of thing might be a viable career path for some of us.

Was it Rebecca Vaughan? I've heard she's extraordinary!

Yeah it was!

I think boring people end up boring because of their interests.

Example: most women are interested in haircuts. I am not interested in haircuts. So I find women boring.

I'd love to know how she did Jane solo and also in one act (isn't it under two hours?)
Did it involve the whole Moor House / St. John plot? I truly need to get out more.

I think it did. It cut out a lot of stuff out but got the main parts in. The play has had top reviews from critics.

I much rather indulge in my interests than talk about them & noone would really care about what I have to say about them anyways. Why would others care about what music I listen to when they never even heard of half of it or what they had heard of is old. Why would anyone care about my opinion of TV eps of shows that haven't been on the air in 15+ years. Why would anyone care what strategy I use to play a game that came out when I was still in skewl. Noone would give a flying f#ck & I don't really have anything else to talk about unless someone comes to me for support so I'm much more of a listener.

Not having a personality is better than six diagnosed personality disorders

Like me

I was diagnosed with a few personality disorders when I was going through a psychotic depression. I was still a wet napkin then thou. I was just an unstable & depressed one who kept going on & on about the same things.

No worries, we find you to be a tiresome misogynist.

My husband is exactly like that, and he's not even autistic. I still like him. I always liked quiet people. Sometimes I wonder if quiet people are secretly hating me or something, thus not talking to me. But then I don't care enough to find out. If they don't like me that's their problem, right? So you guys are saying you don't hate people who talk a lot? And you're not quiet because you hate other people? OK good that's reassuring.

A lot of the time you can win people's trust and friendship by listening attentively. I admit that I find that hard to do with subjects I don't care about, like dogs or sports, but I do try.

Eh? Are you basing your opinion on this one post alone?

Edit: No need to answer , I just searched the posting history

At one point in time I also tried a variety of classes and clubs: orchids, native plants, environmental, dance, acting, the list goes on and on. I failed to make a single friend in that manner. In my personal opinion, based solely on my own experience, NTs usually are not looking to make new connections. Their lives are already full, they have their friends, and their time is filled up with their current friends and whether they find you interesting or not, they just don't need a friend.

Fifasy, I find you interesting and I see sparks of personality even in your posts, so I don't think that being boring is your problem. If I really want to participate in a class or group like you describe, I try to thing up ahead of time some bits that I can contribute. For art, instead of saying "that's a nice picture," you can develop your own list of art comments, such as "I like the use of color here," or "perspective" or "what are you trying to say with xyz." And then, as another poster stated, listen. Usually people like to be listened to.

Most persons have sometimes considered me Boring as, I'm not someone whom obsessively speaks about American Football . As well, I tend to focus on unorthodox key points of interests.Beyond this, I may or may not come off as having a pedantic like form of speech mannerism;however, I do at times try to be creative shall one say. I feel you should not go by what others think of you, rather define yourself as a person overall, if this makes sense?

Yeap, me too
