I don't like to talk, not even to my parents. There are only a few things I enjoy doing in life, such as working out and reading books. How can you make friends, or find a partner when you have this type of personality.. or be succesful in your career?

Boring - yes. The reason is because I don't do any activities other than University, unlike you I don't work out or read, I just play video games and watch movies. Also I don't have a part time job. So I barely have anything interesting to say.

Most people my age (22) talk about girls, clubs, work, gym, whatever...

Because of SA I don't do any of these things so I have nothing relevant to talk about apart from Uni.

I talk to my parents about Uni, mental health probs etc.

I seem to think I do, but I guess I actually don't??? I never ever show people my real personality though, I'm much too afraid that they will hate it.

I think I'm boring... but other people seem to like me. I'm not sure why... I often wonder if I would like me if I met myself. And I think that I wouldn't really have a reason to dislike me if I met myself... nothing glaring that is.

Do you think you would like yourself if you met yourself? Really think about it... I bet you'd like yourself more through "someone elses" eyes than through the vortex of thought and deprication that whips through your skull. Just think about it.

This is the same exact way it is for me. Not around the guys though cause I dont really care what they think of me. But with girls this is exactly how it is for me. On first impression, I strike girls as a cute little tough guy, I geuss, but once they start talking to me they get the wrong impression of me because I am afraid of being myself, and I have reason to be. Gets awkward. Naturally, when I am myself I am rude and nonhumorous. Two things girls around here absolutely hate. And by knowing that, its like im afraid to be myself and even something else. Then Im just left out there to dry and die in the dating life. sux [/quote]

A little strange maybe, but not boring. I think depression can make you think you're boring cause you lose interest in things. SA can make you feel you're boring cause you're not able to express yourself naturally and stay 'safe'. But these things aren't 'you'.

I don't think anyone here is boring...you've all got your own unique experiences and take on things, and that makes you interesting IMO :p

I don't think I am. I can be very outgoing around friends but in front of strangers, different story.

I have nothing much to say to anyone, don't know how to engage in a conversation, have no interesting experiences to share, hardly any hobbies or interests... therefore I must be boring. But still, it pains me to be perceived this way.

I had "friends" ditch me in high school because they thought I was boring. I thought they were boring!

I feel boring because most people my age seem to be into partying. I think i make up for this by driving my car fast. I guess that no one is truly boring it's just that we have a hard time expressing ourselves.

I think that getting drunk every week like some people is boring anyway and a waste of money.

Exactly! What is so fun or interesting about drinking, partying, or getting drunk, anyway? There's more to life than alcohol and small talk. Even if I were outgoing, I don't think that would appeal to me at all.

Yes. I have a very boring personality. Sometimes when I meet someone for the first time, for whatever reason I'm outgoing, but once they're around me a bit more, they realize I'm boring. This is why I can never get more than a few dates out of a girl. Very pathetic.

I think I'm pretty boring. I'm not really passionate about anything at all, so that doesn't give me much to talk about. And I don't really get a chance to talk to other people very often anyways. And when I do, I don't really want to say anything. Or I do, I just can't think of what to say. So yeah! That makes me pretty boring.

I can totally understand every SA sufferer's frustration with feeling alone feeling like a boring person, it just eats away at you and is hard to just forget about.

I'm a girl and only like art, video games and thriller/action movies, nothing else interests me...so yeah I think I have a boring personality. Even if people do talk about what I like...I can never find enough stuff to keep a convo going and it always goes awkward. People are quick to find other people to go talk to in social occasions, even my relatives. Everyone is into fashion and clubbing and its always the main topics people my age seem to talk about and it bores me so bad, I can never fit in. I can pretend to, but it takes so much effort and energy pretending to be someone else, and the anxiety is too overwhemling half the time. So I am always alone and depressed. I guess prefer my own company but you get lonely alot.

I feel boring when around other people and stuff and never have anything to say. But I actually like my personality when I'm 100% comfortable. I'm quite animated, energetic and wild... Jim Carrey used to be my hero back in the day when he was doing movies like The Mask and Ace Ventura. I'm not nearly that bad, tone it down a few notches and ya. I used to impersonate Jim Carrey all the time when I was little :D I just wish I could be more myself like that outside of my comfortzone. Don't think many people would find me boring... annoying maybe :D

Boring? No way!

When I'm with close family or friends, I'm the life of the party. Cliche I know, but true. Not to brag or anything (okay maybe a little) but I've often thought about what people are missing by not getting to know me. I like to think I know myself well thanks to all that self-study and introspectiveness, and I would actually describe myself as outgoing, hilarious, spontaneous, and daring when I'm with the right people.

My cousins didn't even believe me when I talk about being really shy at school and other places I have to interact with people. Being with close friends and family, you would never guess I can go entire days without saying a single word to anyone.

Please, I'm the opposite of boring. :D
