What makes some interesting/boring?

completedit · 2019-07-20 15:42:46

Some of the most entertaining people I know to be around are not particularly interested in the world around them, while some of the most boring are well versed on a number of topics. What to you is an interesting person? And what makes someone boring? Who is the most interesting and/or most boring person you know?

I think somebody can be kind of boring when there lief revolves around one thing and it's all they do/talk about.
It could be a job, sport,etc.

Ironically, I always suspect that people that are at pains to point out that people are not interesting because of stuff like talking about kids or their cultural bent are probably just as fixated on their own riffs

Id be more inclined to find people interesting based on their mindset, emotions and personality not what their interests are. People have different priorities and interests after all.

Boring people keep you at arm's length and don't let you close enough to discover anything interesting to talk about

I hate it myself but I don't automatically think anybody that watches it is a moron.

I would say sufficiently boring ppl are those who are just clones of their family and ppl in their community.
