I have always believed I was a fairly interesting person. I always knew I didn’t appear interesting to others on the surface, and that I just seemed average. But I always believed that was because I never really tried to be interesting. I thought that if I actually put in the effort to do so, I could appear interesting to at least some people. Whenever I put substantial effort into anything, I usually had success, so why not this as well. But when I actually tried to be interesting to others, I was met with continual failure.

My first reaction to this failure was denial. I couldn’t believe that I lacked the ability to compel others to gain an interest in myself; after all, I had so many ideas in my head that others would love to hear. So I kept trying and trying. Whenever I had the opportunity, I would try to say something funny, or do something interesting, but it would backfire 90% of the time. For example, when I would think of a funny joke to say, I would wait, thinking, asking myself “Is this joke really funny? Would I laugh at this?” Very rarely would I tell the joke and it would actually be good; but usually I would conclude that the joke was no good and I would back out, and I would think for too long that the joke wouldn’t be funny anymore.

After numerous similar failures, I started to realize that I’m just not an interesting person. Sure, I could say that I’m interesting on the inside, but I know that’s a poor excuse for uninteresting people. Every person – including boring people – could say their interesting on the inside. Sure, I’m relatively smart, but no one gives cares if you’re smart. I have accepted my place in the universe as an average boring person, but it’s still quite disturbing. I don’t really care that others don’t find me interesting, but it’s upsetting to find out that I’m incapable of doing something that I always thought I could be competent in. All those years thinking I was interesting, when I was actually just like every other below-average guy out there with minimum value to others. What about you VGChartz?

When did you realize you were boring and was it a shock to you?

I find everyone interesting. I think what you really mean is that you're not really funny or perhaps the word is charming. That's fine. Most people aren't. It's a natural thing. You can learn it to some extent but some people are just naturally better at it. And if everyone was funny and charming the world would be annoying. I can only handle so many of those in any crowd. Personally, I'd love to be a pro hockey player. But no matter how hard I try, I'll never be quite good enough. No biggie.

Mmm... sorry, I fell asleep. What were you saying again?

I feel the same. I blame people around me. They are plain stupid.

I don't consider myself boring even if others do. I do what I enjoy, what I like and act as I like, even if others might think these things are boring/dull/uninteresting.... I do consider myself better than others though, that can be an issue.

You're interesting on the Internet. At least that's something.

OT: I don't know whether I'm boring or not. People usually invite me to stuff so I guess that must mean I'm not boring, right? (pls say yes)

You have your own personality and don't give a crap what other people think, and having some of self-confidence is never a bad thing.

Boring? You? I think you are a funny member. I don't know in real life though .

Most people think I'm funny in real life. But sometimes I can have my "days".

I feel I'm very boring, but for some reason everyone is always trying to talk to me
