Do you ever get the feeling that you're the most boring person alive?

I've noticed others are so excited and energised over pretty much nothing.
I tell a story and although I'm not flat, I'm not over excitable.
I'm more of a matter of fact kind of person...
I never developed a sense of humor like other. Ones more dry...

I don't know I feel myself starting to worry about who I am again...
Wsyching dahmer has messed me up!

I swear I can't keep friends, family don't seem to want me around...

Not the most boring, just boring and someone who doesn't have much to offer to other people. I prefer solitary activities or I have temporary personal obsessions nobody understands or can relate to. The problem is when I get bored of these things myself and crave some external entertainment or meaningful social interaction, social anxiety prevents me to go for it.
I was never able to tell jokes or stories.
I perhaps take myself too seriously to go goofy and entertain others with role-playing/acting and those little things some people pull to draw attention to them. You either have it in you and you're able to entertain others or you're just complete cringe. I learned very soon I'm the latter.

I prefer true stories over excitable crap that didnt happen. Experienced this twice now. I have a good memory so it was easy to see when the story changed.

@PaleandPolluted I hear you, people lie to please others and enhance their view of them, sad....

@Mellowgirl I think it was a bid to look interesting. The lies got tiresome. Apparently they predicted lockdown and knew someone who had to escape Wuhan and a bunch of other weird stuff.

In many ways, my lack of emotional reactivity makes me feel like a robot. And robots are supposed to be cool, but they really aren't.

But then I realize that so many other people are prisoners to peer pressure and are constantly reacting in order to belong. They feed off of the validation that others give them, sometimes to the point where they're lost without a crowd to entertain.

I've reached a stage in my life where I don't give a single f*ck what people think, and I'm free to live how I want to live. Whether I'm boring to them or not doesn't matter, because I quite enjoy what I get to do with my time

I get that feeling all the time. By the standards of others, no doubt I am. It does make for a lonely existence.

Mellowgirl · 31-35, F

@ButterRobot I always enjoy our chats, but I do feel sometimes either I'm pestering you, or you're too busy.
I'm weird it's the hardest thing to reach out to others because of this deep feeling

I can relate.
I'd rather troubleshoot a computer than go out to eat with..what do you call them?...oh yeah...people.

I've always realized I was fairly boring. I'm definitely the boring but stable type.

PaleandPolluted · 36-40, F

@Mellowgirl You need to breathe and lower your expectations. Look out the window and ponder about how it's okay to just exist and that people have done that for ages. Really dig into that thought and figure out what it means to simply exist. Think about an older man/woman sitting in the ages before internet, just having nothing to do, and being content. Why is that person you see in front of you okay with that? Find out why.

@MartinTheFirst I am that person but life and career seems to need "connections"

MartinTheFirst · 26-30, M

@Mellowgirl In that case you shouldnt feel disappointed/anxious.
