Boring to me is someone who never rebel against this fake society and social game... I like people who can create their own opinions and are able to be critical what happends around us and not just read opinions from todays newspaper and repeat them. Also those who follow trends and are generally marionette dolls for everything. I like the ones who are stomping their feet down and yell NO ... No for living in a rat race.. as a slave of the markets and letting imaginery labels and "classes" to lead their life.. I can read their lives from a magazine already.. Also those selfie, belfie puppets .. They need to share them with other butt obbsessive narsistic people , I think that is boring.. looks looks looks.. I fell into sleep already 20 years ago.. Wake me up if you have actual opinion or action..

Excellent posting! Spot-on description of copy-cats who "go along to get along".

1)Nothing more boring than to hear about someone's medical issues in minute detail and pretty much nothing else.
2)Someone talking about people you don't even know, and could care less about.
3)Non-stop talkers who require no participation from you. On the phone, I have left them talking and attended to something in another room, then came back and found them still talking. Never even realized I had taken a break from the "conversation".
4)Overly opinionated people who insist on ramming their opinions down your throat.

I consider myself a good listener, but these types of people make me want to avoid conversations with them at all costs.

I always felt like I am a 'boring' person. I don't like partying, I'm not very social (unless I have to be for work or school) or like to join many groups or teams of any sort. I'm never the loud, outgoing person who wants to do something crazy or expand energy all the time. Some people are the first ones on the dance floor and the last one to leave, others like to create cook outs or block parties with their neighbors and always have some kind of fun activities going on that involve huge groups of people.

I prefer my alone time, doing things like reading, listening to music, going on my laptop, etc. I also like to travel and explore alone a lot too and to run errands on my own to get it done fast. I'm a general homebody and prefer being with a small group of select individuals to spend my time with. To me I would appreciate a small dinner party with a couple of friends, some wine and after dinner drinks, and having deep meaningful conversations (cliche, I know).

Friend's girlfriend travels a lot with friend, but couldn't care less about the actual places. All she cares about is that they go to the Tiffany store in whatever city they're in so he can buy her (another!) Tiffany key necklace. If you ask, "So, did you enjoy Paris [New York, San Antonio] the answer is always "eh." But look at her new necklace! Nothing to add to a conversation, just sits there. Blah.

People that have a single event that every thing pivots on ,all their failures of life blamed on one event.
Others are women that I've met that their only conversation is to do with their ex.
Few people seem to have any opinion about other things in life, or care.
I guess that's why I like it here so much.

I was quite young when I mentioned to my mother that I was bored. It's the last time I ever said it. She stopped what she was doing and told me if I couldn't figure out how to entertain myself, she would give me jobs to do to keep me busy. I never felt bored again and that means many years into the future. I like being with people, but always enjoy being alone.
