I agree with all of these except the dry humor. It is better than the corny, slapstick humor. You are correct all the other traits are definitely boring. I'll let others continue..have said my share. Thanks!

I'd rather say that being boring doesn't have a definition. I might be quite boring to some people and quite interesting to others. I think it all depends of our interests and personalities.

Somebody who lacks ambition, passion or an opinion, no sense of humour.

Who doesn't participate in anything or if so, only does it half a$$ed and without obvious enjoyment.

Hell, all that sounds like my ex. Ugh.

Just being a shy or quiet person doesn't equal boring for me.

"Seriously, is all you do is read and write? You are sooo friggeen boring!
I have friends who send me news articles. I cannot possible digest all the information out there. So having friends point things out to me that I may have missed is welcome.

I think this would describe me, although I am not sad about it...I am a science person, have an mid level career, enjoy spending time with my pets, enjoy watching TV, like to go to the gym and use the treadmill (occassionally run), always pay my bills on time and save money, try to be polite, never really go drinking, don't have any real vices (except for chocolate and coffee), and really am a straight and narrow kind of person. Maybe a little OCD also. Don't have the gift of gab, and not the best at telling stories. I also am not very expressive, and like to observe more than participate - an ISTJ. Not big into drama or talking about subjects that get people really upset. I know that makes me wildly boring to the outside observer, but I am very stable and a little guarded with that stability. Not a big fan of drama, and not what the world would call "exciting." There are times I tried to change myself when I was younger to make myself more "exciting", but I realized this is who I am, and there is nothing wrong with that. Not a lot of people are going to get me, and I am going to be ignored by some because of my personality. I'm not saying this stuff to be down on myself, I just get that I am not the most exciting person in the room, but I do have other talents. I just come across as boring, and don't have a lot of charimsa.

Well, it is an interesting explanation of why you consider yourself boring. Being "not into drama" is an asset.

I would say it is more telling that you think introverted people are the boring ones. Some of the most extroverted people are also the most boring because they ramble on and on without regard to their audience.

Which I would also say is a good benchmark for being boring. No regard for the audience.
