Your probably making friends with the wrong people

Now i tend to find it hard to have people leave me alone. People just seem to want to be around me. Its gets really annoying cause i like to be on my own sometimes and just have some me time. My social life does not really let me. Would love to have more time to play games.



Nobody's perfect. I aint nobody!!!

Im in the same situation, too reluctant to say whats in my head in fear it may backfire, and when I do want to say something, I cant say it over someone whos already talking, and by the time they finish, it doesnt make sense to say it anymore.

this video sums me up.

That pretty much differs from person to person. I think 99% of people I know are boring. But all people that know me think that I'm boring(probably). It really depends on the interests.



If you demand respect or gratitude for your volunteer work, you're doing volunteering wrong.

Ya you are very intelligent and thoughtful, but I can tell you aren't someone to excel at a meet-and-greet type of function :P

Fast solution: Google news every day for 20 minutes. Keep up with current events. If all else, you will be able to hold a conversation and be engaging. Add your own politically correct spin on the news, and people will flock to you more often.

I cant count how many times google news knowledge made potentially awkward social functions just flow because I not only held my own but excelled at current news discussion.


I'd just rather not talk to someone than talk about news. I find it more fun to cause the awkward situation and watch the other person squirm than talk about news.

Personally I find people boring. Most people I can have the conversation with them in my head before I talk to them. And then they say pretty much what I expected to them. Yeah I'd just rather not talk to you then.



I can't really relate today but in previous years I tried to stay out of sight and mind from most people irl. I eventually gave up and realized that what I do naturally seems to attract people and at some point I stopped fighting it.  On my first day at school in any school I've been in my teachers always remember me and a couple other students before they remember the rest of the class. Girls in photography at my school ask me to model for them. I've been told I should be a public speaker, singer, model or actor as well.  I get told by my friends that I attract too much attention and that I need to tone down my charisma level. They don't really like attracting too much attention, but some like it though so its not always a bad thing. On the internet you have a great wealth of knowledge and I love online convos with you. Some people are better at writing than they are at speaking. Few people excel at both, especially when it comes to interpersonal relations.

"Being interesting" is very subjective. It's probably just that what you find interesting and humorous doesn't align well with what 95% of people find interesting and humorous. I bet you find most people "average" or "boring " for this reason too.

For what is worth, I think you have some of the most interesting threads and posts around here, because you're always trying to analyse everything and anything in a logical way. Your humour is quite unique but I get it.



No troll is too much for me to handle. I rehabilitate trolls, I train people. I am the Troll Whisperer.

Same here. When I just relax and act natural people are drawn to me. People are attracted by me constantly like I am some kind of Obama, Nelson Mandela, Brad Pitt or an even greater legend. Males around me are envious because I suck all the beautiful women to me, but at the same time the males admire me due to all the respect I gain. All these sexy Swedish women, you wouldn't believe how many have proposed to become a naked model in front of me. I'm practically a walking, living pussy magnet.



You better be handsome then.

I detect sarcasm. 



I've been in my own head endlessly thinking for so long. I never had that social appeal my brothers/friends had and I always thought, like the OP, it was because I didn't try. There was a period in my life where I had to realize that to myself I was this amazing person who dreamed these amazing dreams and felt the wonders of the world, but I could never get anyone to see it.

People will always see me as a boring person. Although it isn't always fun to watch as people distant themselves from you for it, there is a good part. Let's face it, if you're boring and people don't want to be around you because you don't do what "acceptable" thing is like being a funny guy or w/e then the people doing this are probably shells of uninteresting creatures.

This is just my opinion and I know there are great people who are also funny, but when I see a group of people and the only thing holding them together is a collection of personalities that make everyone laugh I can only think that if you took that generic everyday humor away there wouldn't be anything there. I've tried to engage with many funny people on a 1 on 1 basis and it feels like I can't get anything real from them. It's almost like funny people are uncomfortable when they can't exercise that skill.

To sum up this insanity, you may not be boring OP, your inward process may just be much more interesting than the average laugh it up, don't talk serious, person can handle.If you notice something, the people who are close to you and listen probably think you are one of the interesting characters they've met.

(It should be noted that funny can be interchanged with socially skilled, cool to be around, people want to be around, gatherers of the attention, ect)
