What things could a boring person do to become less boring?

Question

The_Shadow_Dweller · Accepted Answer

A person's any trait can be boring to one person but can be interesting to another person.
Suppose I like accounting, then I can find a girl who likes accounting and may even help me in it. But I can also find a girl who will not like what I do.

What I think is, you can only pretend to be someone else or behave in artificial manner for some time. For a long run, you need to find someone who accepts for who you are naturally.
But what you can do is watch a few web series or movies to get in the crowd. At least read the story on Wikipedia.
I watch them when I am having lunch and dinner.

You need to find hobbies, meet friends at a local hangout, socialize more.

Sonorous · Answer

The first thing might be to find people that don't have extremely high entertainment standards. And especially people that tend to be more like you than not. As you'll have more in common & they won't be so frequently bored.

But I imagine it's still can be useful to practice being unpredictable to certain degrees. But not so drastically open to change that it scares people or disrupts their perception of an equilibrium. Gotta find a balance between what is different but still familiar to them. So it requires good social intelligence for testing the waters.

Maybe the most important way to start is through charisma. People often find charismatic people to be more interesting. Here's a video talking about the aspect of charisma:

I really do like what she said at around 1:05 because it really does highlight what interests us as humans. We often find someone more interesting when they make us feel like we're very interesting or appealing.

Hobbies, Travel, not giving a fuck.

If you are boring, you are boring. You can TRY to be less boring, but if that is who you are, then no amount of work you do will really change that.

My guess would be someone you really like/love, told you that you are boring. And maybe they are right, but so what? Find people that appreciate that and don't try to change yourself to please this person.

Your attempts will come of as fake, and you will run out of gas trying. Just accept who you are, even if you don't like it.

Then embrace those "boring" hobbies you like, and tell everyone else to fuck off. Sounds interesting to me.

Varanus · Answer

Explore your hobbies and interests with passion. Make things.

Any time someone asks what you've been up to, stop saying things like "eh, nothing", "the usual", "nothing much", etc. Instead, talk about your hobbies:

"I've been knitting a new shawl!"
"I've been doing a lot of gardening, and my azaleas are coming in nicely! Wanna see?"
"I've been into woodworking and made my first bookshelf"
"I got a macro lens and I've been doing some photography; I got some great shots of native bees last week"

Not everyone will find your hobby interesting, but at least you've given them something to work with.

Apulu_3 · Answer

Well no one is boring. Maybe you have those interests which is boring for majority. I'm also the same. I have interest in writing and Music (piano playing. It is seen as pianists are depressed people lol) which is considered boring by most. You just need to find someone who shares similar interests and you both will be interesting for each others. Just be yourself and don't change yourself. Maybe you will get more attention for that as you will be like a mysterious person. And mysterious people are most interesting.

BirdieBeep · Answer

What's "fun" and what's "boring" is a matter of perspective and opinion. Do what makes you happy. Do what you think is fun. If other people think you're boring, then you're around the wrong people. If you try to change yourself to be more "fun" so the people you don't even vibe with will like you, you'll end up bored yourself. Life is about doing what you enjoy and finding like minded individuals - not about finding random people to be around and then changing yourself for them.

But if you genuinely think your life isn't fun enough, purely for you and no one else, and you seek new excitement - try something new. A new hobby, new experiences. Meet new people - that's often a nice way to get involved in something new, too. When bored - try new things! It's always great to experience new things even if they don't become your new hobby.

exitseven · Answer

I don't know. I think that I am pretty boring. I have not travelled much and spend most of my time taking care of my wife and kids. I have a pretty low body count. I do not drink or use drugs and I don't have an extra marital affair. I have never been in prison and cannot sing or dance.
I have got a couple of masters Degrees and some IT certifications and I took courses in being an electrician and I learned how to weld. I am a scuba diver and I ride a surf board although maybe not anymore. I ran a few marathons as well. I read some of what people post on this site. They are all world travelers and have had adventures and gone on trips.

artstatues · Answer

Simple… Don’t do what boring people do! Becoming a more interesting person, much like any other goal, is not rocket science. All you need to do is observe what interesting people do and then model their actions and mindsets. Travel More Frequently and For Longer (Even if it’s local), Talk Less and Listen More, Learn How to Tell Riveting Stories (Two people can have the EXACT same experience and, when they tell it to their friends, one person can seem like the most interesting person alive and the other can seem like a total bore. The difference? Their ability to tell stories in an engaging way. If you want to be more interesting, then study the great story tellers of our time. Read plenty of fiction and watch TED talks.) and be Be Passionate About Something (such as a hobby, playing a musical instrument, sports etc)

Anonymous · Answer

I wonder the same thing. I’m beyond bored.
Beyond unamused. [~,~]
I feel almost like a slave, prisoner and a robot. I feel like I’m only breathing and eating to continue this existence.
The only time I was happy was when I was attracted to the BRAD PITT at my old job and the anticipation of obtaining that F*er drove me crazy day in and day out. I’ve left that job and lost all of that

ItsMeElliana · Answer

probably just being yourself, doing things that make you happy, just go out, explore find things to entertain yourself with (like watching movies in a theatre, shopping things that make you happy, spending time on self care things, etc )
find some motivation, know what you want in life and that'd keep you going

Diodoro · Answer

Having the social awareness to notice when the person in front of you is bored and the willingness to do something different in that moment.

That one change would change their life with people who find them boring. Like hey, if the person is bored with the topic and you see that... why continue it? Why not change it to something else?

TheorionMage · Answer

Become an 'expert' in that which fascinates you then SHARE your knowledge & passion...

by deflecting the conversation to a SHARED passion, it takes the pressure off of
having your listener fixate upon you physically and your social awkwardness!

PhenomenalQueen · Answer

I used to told that I was boring, but I never changed anything about myself. What I did change would be the people who I previously associated with, the people who I am surrounded by now are always complimenting me on my personality. They say that I am very funny and fun to be around. Maybe that will help you, first try changing the people around you. It also varies by the scenario.

Star_88 · Answer

Don't listen to judgmental assholes who called you boring. Boring is 'subjective'.
For some, interesting means having sex, drugs, alcohol, party, extreme sports or even being knowledgeable about certain subjects. The list is endless!
I knew a guy wanted to date me desperately and he had the toxic idea of 'fun' so I pretended to act closed off lifeless doll, this turned him off and I saved myself from his creepy way of pursuing me.

my_name_is__ · Answer

Nobody is boring. :-)
What are you passionate about?
What's important to you in life?
That's what makes you unique.
Maybe you're introverted and that's why you think you are boring, but that's just part of your unique personality and doesn't make you boring. <3

talka20 · Answer

The question made me giggle 😆 but ummm lets think bout it... i think he can make himself known for the humour that is so boring n like wth and once it becomes his thing, people (his close one) will laugh cuz that will come out as funny then outta his mouth only... if someone else tried to do, they won't seem good... that somehow makes sense to me I don't know if it really does to others

Moose304 · Answer

Let me see. About a month ago I was attempting while using a grease board to demonstrate what RMS (Root Mean Square) is and its importance. I was speaking to a 19-year-old male that's headed to Virginia Tech in the fall. I was boring his mom. Boring is in the eyes of the beholder.

ChiTown33 · Answer

Pretend to be somebody they're not. 🤣
Look I am who I am. If that's boring to most people that's fine by me. I'm not the world's dancing monkey.
But I do think the key to life is just being open to experiences. We tend to get more cynical as we age because we have a better Idea of what we know we like and what we don't. I think as you age you should fight that inclination. Because we are lifetime learners and you never know what someone can teach you if you just listen.

ohshee · Answer

First thing is put on your tennis shoes and go for a brisk walk for 30 minutes breathe through your nose and out your mouth and when you get back sit down and relax for a few minutes see how much clear your thinking and then do it again tomorrow and then do it again tomorrow you do it for a week I guarantee that you will be way less boring because you will be up doing things

Passion_Devil · Answer

TheSpaceGnome · Answer

People are only boring because they have no shared interests.

You could have amazing talents/skills, a great sense of humor, impressive knowledge, and be very nice, but if you don't like the same subjects as me, or don't think like I do, then you're boring.

To me.

And thats the point, you will always be boring to some and facinating to others, stop worrying about it and just do stuff you enjoy.

KatieB713 · Answer

Start by considering what makes your special and things you are interested in... after all (in my opinion anyway) no one is specifically boring, just some people can sell themselves more than others

Pooppoobi · Answer

Boring people usually get bored, so learn how to have fun and enjoy things.. What I mean is pretend life is a video game and do all the things you would do in that video game if you could with no fear to hold back on anything you wanna do, if you die it's game ove.. so what... We're all playing and not everyone succeeds. Some people suck at video games. So jus do what you want with no fear. Social anxiety really constricts you and take the fun out of life. Fuck it
