That boring?

Do you get people telling you you're boring to talk to? Just not interesting? They had hopes for you and hung in there, but you've let them down - you just don't have anything fun to say. You're not entertaining. "You're more interesting on your blog."

Yeah I didn't think so. I guess that's because when people think of you that way, you don't really want to talk to them again. And (hopefully) they won't want to talk to you either.


Honesty comes in all shapes and sizes. Some believe it's ok to hide things. Others believe that if you don't tell a person everything that's on their mind they're not being truthful (I knew one of those and got enough negative remarks in a week to last me a couple years).

Honesty can break you down or build you up (if both, hopefully in that order). Learning things about yourself can help you break bad habits and grow as a person. You can see your faults and be able to determine whether this person has a point or not.


I've got these comments and more like them twice, in the past couple weeks. Both cases were random people on my MSN who I've never met.

On the one hand I think "why the hell do you think it's my job to entertain you?!". On the other they do have a point.. My life is so boring at the moment, I have absolutely nothing to talk about.


I've been standing still long enough, it's time to do something about it.

    Mitt spørsmål er ikke innen dette temaet, men må si eg liker bloggen din. Hvor gammel er ein når ein er klar for SEX no i tide? Har du ikke små søsken? Er dei seksuell aktive? Mi datter på 15 år, har eg funnet ut er det. Men det er kansje normalt?

    The older I get, the more I wish I could've just been a lot more relaxed when I was younger.

    Hvor gammel man er når man er gammel nok er vel helt opp til den enkelte, selv om 15 høres ungt ut for meg... Det virker som mange tror det er et kappløp, at det er om å gjøre å gjøre mest mulig, fortest mulig nå for tiden. At det viktigste er å være "kul", uten å tenke så mye på hva en selv vil.

    Det viktigste er nok at man ikke gjør noe man selv ikke er klar for, noe man føler seg presset til enten direkte, eller indirekte av venner, klassekamerater, bekjente. Det kan komme mye vondt ut av å utlevere seg på den måten før man er klar for det, og mye godt dersom man virkelig vil og føler seg klar.

    I det lange løp er det nok de som vet når de skal si nei, som ikke lar seg presse til noe, som både har det best med seg selv og som blir respektert for sine valg. Det trengs styrke å stå imot slike forventninger fra andre.

    Når en er klar vet kun en selv... men dersom en spør seg selv dette, om når man bør være klar, er vel det et tegn på at man ikke er det helt ennå?

    There is such a thing as chemistry. I can be an incredibly boring subject if I'm not really interested in the person I'm talking to or the vibe is off. But that's just me. I'm a feeler personality. I have a hard time faking anything and I'm a terrible liar. I do try to make conversation and include people to be polite but sometimes there just isn't anything there.

    The best conversations happen when you truly connect with someone and you're not desperately trying to entertain them.
