I have a problem being interesting

[KnuffleBunny]

Any MMO is a massive time-sink, of course. And you can't just quit whenever you need or want to because you end up obligated to other people and could get your whole group killed if you quit at the wrong time. Plus you end up essentially forced to socialize in order to get cool stuff, often with people whom you wouldn't otherwise want to spend time with. No thank you.

^^It doesn't have to be common interests, either. A difference of opinion can also be conversation material. ::

You CAN play WoW without needing other peeps, it's just not as fun. The trading place is all auto, no dealing with others. But in any case, I just like RPGs in the first place.

Sorry to have come to this discussion late - I haven't read the whole thread, but my first thought is: how do you define 'interesting'? I ask because it might mean something different to me than it might do to you.

I like to find interests and get involved in them, often people are also interested in those things. I don't try to be interesting for anyone else, it's all about spending time doing somehing I enjoy.

Kiwong, I want to give you props and click the 'LIKE' button!!

So true, you wanna do interesting things cause LIFE is interesting, if someone happens to find those things interesting, all the better!!

and yes, quarelling/bickering/difference of opinion can sometimes be FUN too, hehe!!

My problem is that I have many interests that I would love to share but I don't know how to express it. I always come off boring.

Stop. Don't TRY things to become interesting to others. It would not be defined as interesting, it would be what SOME individuals find interesting, others will NOT. There will be people out there whom connect with you more and you won't need to prove yourself to anyone, they will love you for who you are. Let me tell you, you are interesting. Once you start trying, that is when things go downhill. Quite simply be yourself, people who like you will come in your life and people who don't will fade out. Its best this way. You don't want people in your life who like you for the way you act and not for who you really are.

If you want to be more interesting as a person, I suppose you could things like play an instrument, take up a sport, start drawing, or something within your interests. Do a charity event, a walk/marathon, you will feel amazing after. Anything that you would enjoy doing, gives you something to talk about to others aswell and you may meet some like minded people.

To be interesting you need to know the topics that you enjoy. You have to open up and be proud of who you are.

I was in an inpatient unit for a while, and the staff there kept saying, "Stop acting, Kate!" It took me a long time to figure out what they meant: I was reflexively telling people what I thought they wanted to hear. I wasn't being me at all.

Once I twigged to that, I panicked. If I dropped the mask, would there be anything behind it? I literally didn't know who I was.

Til one of my fellow patients told me, "I know who you are, Kate, you like coffee." Yeah, it really is that simple. Know what you like and talk about it. Maybe the other person will relate, maybe they wont. Either way, you'll have been yourself. And that's much more interesting than a mask.
