On a scale of 1-5, with 5 being the most boring, how boring do you think you are in other people's eyes?
People who don't know me closely, a 4 or 5. I tend to keep to myself and am quiet. Most don't see the "real" me unless they are a close friend.
I'd like to think the people closest to me would say 1 or 2.
a lot of people struggle to talk to people they are supposedly interested in.
This used to be me, I struggled to talk to people. Until I learned to get better at asking questions and listening. Being genuinely interested in people, asking questions, and truly listening to their answers makes it so easy to talk to people.
For sure! This is how I go into it - genuinely curious. It is why the conversations can be so deep and broad, without anyone getting upset.
It becomes addictive getting to meet and learn about new people. It's okay to be boring, they can be the interesting ones!
I find the boring ones tend to be more experienced and more intelligent :D
