Other way around for me. People find me both boring AND annoying, no matter what I do or don't.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 8 months ago

What an interesting response! I was not annoyed and it was not boring. Maybe you're just listening to the opinions of bad people...?

[–] [email protected] 5 points 8 months ago

Most people are boring and annoying but that's OK.

Haven't found the right crowd, I suppose.

The important part is asking other people questions ;)

Because people love talking about themselves

[–] [email protected] 2 points 8 months ago

That’s just naturally what keeps others engaged. Per of it is that people like talking about their own life and interests. Part of it is just keeping the conversation going. But it’s definitely a IRL conversation/charisma pro tip

Literally exactly me irl

I can physically feel people's interest dissolve as soon as I start talking about something I find interesting

Haters gonna hate, then go back to talking about Taylor Swift or whatever.

It's been my personal (and embarrassing) experience that the quote attributed to Abe Lincoln, "Better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to speak and to remove all doubt" is usually best policy.

You're allowed to be annoying, you're allowed to be boring. Just be you, that will be good enough for the people you want to be around.
