Is it normal i am always told that i am boring?
I was a cautious child growing up, I have a good small group of friends, and I went to college on an academic and sports scholarship.
My goal has always been comfort and security, having a peaceful mind is very important to me.
I’m 29 now, finished paying off my mortgage and completed my degree.
I’ve had many people, classmates, coworkers, acquaintances, and my parents, tell me I have no “fire”. This is a bit hurtful, I feel that I’ve succeeded enough to be satisfied with myself, yet they tell me I have a “bland” personality and that my energy is low. I’ve had dates tell me I was putting them to sleep... it actually hurts my feelings quite a lot...
I’m single still, I’ve always been in shape from sports, but I started to really work on my figure in hopes of attracting a partner. I’ve always been told I’m pretty, but after a few dates they always seem to fade away from me.
I don’t understand how people can have such a negative view of me when I’m so content with myself and the tasks I’ve completed each day... but it’s starting to get to me.
