I suppose there is nothing wrong with my interests, but when it comes to talking to others, especially to new people, in a social setting like a party, then yes, I may come off as boring because I don't say much if anything at all. Sometimes it is not entirely my fault. The other person is asking the wrong questions or focusing on the wrong things, but what can I do? It is too late by then because I will decide I want nothing to do with the person anyway. Perhaps I should use an example. I met one of my boyfriend's sisters for the first time recently. She only asked three questions, one right after the next: where did you guys meet? do you work? do you go to school? It felt like I was in a bad interview. She did not seem interested in getting to know me, and she made me feel so stupid I did not care if she liked me or not (she told my boyfriend not to answer for me on more than one occasion). I was kinda hoping we'd become friends as I don't know anyone in this town. It is not that easy obviously.
Yes, there are some people who think I'm boring. It's simply that other people don't share the same interests or like the things you like (or like it to the same extent).
No big deal - people are different. If others think I'm boring, so be it. It doesn't change anything, and I won't change in order to service someone else's idea of what passes for 'interesting'.

You'd totally fit in if you are in Europe, and I mean more Continental, maybe UK depending on what part and what circle. I love sports and I love my films (some of which won't be appreciated by normal people), love crafting and my food, love shopping and clothing, and panel shows. And I love Vintage clothes and accessories. I am a combo of everything and I'd hate for somebody to pigeon hole me, not that they could. I usually make people undecided as to what group I fit into. When I suppress my personally I can be very boring. I usually spend my time being mute around people I don't know or like.

No one's every outwardly said so, but I have a hard time imaging anyone thinking I'm anything but boring. I don't really do or say anything, and when I do I imagine I must seem miserable to the people I'm with. And a lot of times I don't want to say or do anything either which makes me feel like a boring person. Like how can I be content with sitting in my room by myself for hours without doing anything and not be bored.
Maybe it's because of this though, I don't really take any risks - especially around people - and while it does meet the "rather be safe than sorry" clause in my personality safety is usually quite boring because you know what's going to happen. I feel in control of things, which is just boring. I just figure it bores other people too. I'm trying to loosen my grip on the handle bars though, hoping to let go sooner or later.

OMG! vj, you're anything but boring!! Mr Jones & Twiggle & McGee, and others, you too!!
How can you guys think you're 'boring' just because you're maybe not the 'stereotype' loud obnoxious t(w)eens or such?? omg!! /faints??/
Like Marie and others say, it just depends if you're around people you have something in common with and maybe working on common projects together, so you have something interesting to talk about!!
