Well I am. What I figured out is, you will never winn the hearts or the friendship of people, if you are constantly depressed, cynical, or both! Personally, I tried to act "cool" but it often backfired, made me look like a dumb tryhard, I got beat up in school almost everyday.....by my friends. I don't have anything intresting or funny to say, and I listen to boring music like AUTECHRE, and I hide behind a thick layer of psychological bullshit. I dunno...how can I become more accpted and cool ? |

50% of cases - yes. |
||||||||
|
|

dunno. ask my friends. |

Are you confortable with it ? I heard girls dont like boring men |
||||||||
|
|

|
|
more bored than boring Through no fault of my own either, I hate work =o( hey ho! Home at 4! WOO HOO! |
||||||||

|
|
I'm not boring, just exceptionally interesting in a very narrow field ;) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I don't know... sometimes all I can think of to talk about is music or work, and that bores most people. Usually I am pretty good with the smalltalk though, and generally acting like you could care less works much better than being cool. |
||||||||

no, not comfortable. girls do not like that, indeed. between friends of mine there is a kind of blackmail - if you want to be interesting for some people (girls, boys) - you have to be active in things they are interested in, in this case it's protests, demonstrations, activism. I hate what they do, because it's not massive, looks stupid from the side, but I try to participate a little, or more, being negative about the whole process and always joking angrily about their activity, because i don't want to lose my own points of view. Recently, we had an argue because of music - they like ideological music like punk, ska and stuff. I hate it because it sucks loudly at all levels. But I never put noise when they come to our flat, because I know they will suffer. But, they decided to rail at me because of my noise addiction. I had an ace in my pocket, telling them about Merzbow the PETA activist (my friends are partially vegans and vegetarians) and they shut themselves up a bit. Music is dangerous, it can be a good reason if people want to quarrel with you. So, avoid it. I like one girl from the described friendgang, i try to be more interesting when she comes by. |

"Acting like you could care less" <- Yes, everyone should not try to get too emotionally involved. But I would say, that makes it HARDER for me, because I do not want to talk about trivialities, that simply BORE me. |

i feel like you : hating punk, ska and that... that sucks hard balls ! and i have the same problems with friends about music (electroic/noise)... i think i am boring cuz qrter told me so... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
good. one more punk/ska hater is good! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
You guys.....don't be hatas.....its not healthy |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
people only find me boring because they can rarely make sense of what im doing, and thus they just kind of stare in confused awe. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Your friends need to open up to the fact that people have a wide variety of tastes and not everyone will agree. agree to dissagree! Monoid, what you said about boring trivial conversations. I feel you. Sometimes i just leave and go talk to someone else or sit there, smiling and nodding. I hate pulling something out of my ass just to fuel an already boring conversation. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
right thought. at least, that hate should be kept inside, or it can cause troubles.. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Obviously it all depends on who you are friends with. I am really quite lucky that i have a broad spectrum of people to talk to about most things. So maybe i am lucky, the only thing that can get very annoying about it is the personal politics and the stuff that goes on that everyone else seems to talk about. I do have to wonder if people are talking about me. So up's and downs. I don't know if i am boring though sometimes yes, sometimes no. I think more often than not i can be. If i can't think of anything to say i won't say anything. |

"or sit there, smiling and nodding" - exactly |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
In terms of conversation, yes. I don't talk a lot, cause usually I don't have anything interesting to say, nor do I think a lot of the things people talk about are interesting either. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I'm extremely interesting. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
it's partly the extravertion vs introversion thing... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
You're not suggesting that Introverts are boring, are you? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Introverts sometimes just want to talk about introverted things, they miss the bigger picture |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
And sometimes Extroverts don't see the picture at all. And sometimes NON-introverts just want to talk about 'introverted things'. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
No...I'm not ! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Okay, good. What were you suggesting? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
That moods change [mods change, haha] and there are days i'm more extrovert and other days when i'm not as much as those are dispositions not temporal states my english sucks today, after 4hrs sleep i mean whether you're open to people or not depends on many things |
||||||||

I'm sorry, I skipped most of the posts in this thread - has the subject changed from whether a person is boring to something about the interaction between people? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i wouldnt say i was boring, i tend to be enthusiastic and abstract when i talk to people, but that just annoys them. i cant help it though, the people i know are so very boring they drive me to it. conversations often go on for hours like this- - hey how are you? - im alright mate, you? - yeah im alright. - wanna go to the pub later? - nah mate. fucking pub. - yeah. - i heard bout this new pub. - yeah? - fucking best pub. - what that new pub down the corner? - yeah. - i went there the other day. - fucking great wannit? - yeah - i know this bloke there - yeah? - fucking yeah. at this point i would go crazy with boredom and say something stupid like 'hey look at that dog over there. isnt it hairy! someone ought to go over there and give it a haircut!' and they would look at me like im an alien. i wish i was boring so people would like me. :( |
||||||||

|

|
|
No problem, really. This thread is evolving. It could become boring since it's a yes/no question in the topic :) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
today i can't think straight so i just tend to quote people : "i tend to be enthusiastic and abstract when i talk to people, but that just annoys them" it seems quite the same with me sometimes. but i'd rather be enthusiastic and abstract than bored and cynical. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
jijijijiji omg yes lol. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
BUT THAT WOULD BE VERY RUDE OF YOU |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
if you and I were at the same party, Paul, a fight would erupt between the partygoers on who is the most interesting out of the two of us. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
sounds like a fun party... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
The Place To Be, as it were. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
That would be an interesting occurrence sparked by the interestingness of the two of us. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
we radiate. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
FIGHT! FIGHT!!! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
im almost interested already! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
well ofcourse you are! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
ok we can settle this right now - each of you say something interesting, and i will determine what one of you said the most interesting thing, and is therefore the most interesting person. Go! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I like myself a lot, but I never bother to say anything to people or do anything ''zany'' so I guess I'm unexciting. But I like the groove I'm in and I'm not interested in having the boring people around me interested in me so I can't complain. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yes, i am boring; however, i believe that i am attractive. probably, my perception is off, and i'm just somewhere in between. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I have three shiny pound coins in my front-right trouser pocket. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i dont participate in life. that's for sure. either because i'm inhibited or because im boring. the lord knows .. |
