Your post indicates to me that you listen intently to what others say, you observe social interactions or lack thereof, you are definitely tuned in to some of your surroundings. (see below) You have done a self assessment and it sounds like you want to expand your horizons. In other words, your waters run deep. Deep water tends to be quiet, the opposite of rushing rapids, which tend to dry up at times, Jackie Gleason was famous for telling his wife Alice on the Jackie Gleason show, to "dry up will ya?!" because she cackled endlessly.
There's nothing wrong with being quiet or socially anxious, it's common, and it's hard to overcome. Sometimes you just have to accept some of it, and change what you can, but a complete makeover isn't realistic. I don't know how old you are but the maturing process tends to help your fear of others. You come to realize that you're just as valuable as anyone else. Just because others yell, shout, and repeat themselves doesn't mean they speak the truth. Many gadabouts are just FOS, and like to hear themselves talk.
I guarantee you have potential friends out there, you may not be seeing them, like you don't feel seen by others. Pay attention to those around you who aren't necessarily the center of attention, who aren't in the "A" crowd, because they tend to make the best long-lasting relationships whether it be friends or otherwise. Make a concerted effort to develop new interests for your own sake, not for the sake of others. Become more interesting to yourself, and it will flow out from there. Just know one thing, you're fine just as you are.
You will find love, friends, but not everyone will like you, nor you them. Don't seek to be someone you are not. We're all unique, there's no cookie cutter recipe for life, so be who you are and embrace it.
In my experience, people who complain that someone else is boring, is someone who is boring themselves and thinks others should fulfill a need for excitement in their life. It is not your job to entertain other people.
I wouldn't worry about this person's comment. Just keep being who you are.
I don't really have any hobbies besides YouTube, Reddit, and surfing the internet.
How can I be a more interesting/exciting person?
