I often find myself in this predicament in social, phone and live chat settings. I just feel like my personality is too weird, and I am too boring, to subject people to talking to me.

Is It Normal?

      I gave this a thumbs up because I like being called sugar. :). Anyways, I suppose its just a negative self image. I concede that the coordination of the terms may not make that much sense.

    People think that I am boring because I like math and science. I made a connection with JD777 here on IIN. He sort of thought like me. But, he gave up and left the site. I've been a lost soul ever since.

    I really don't have this problem. I think I'm pretty fascinating. Although I'm probably not, I just dont let that stop me.

      I think you're in the more normal state. I'd like to have that confidence.

    I honestly have no idea how ur personality is, but some ppl have this special ability to just make the most interesting topics boring! But they're usually not weird so I dunno wtf ur talking about, sugar.

    I feel the same way. At this point I try to remedy this by letting the other person ramble on about themselves.

    Same boat. People keep telling me I have interesting things to say, but I don't really know if I believe them. That's partly why I don't talk to people unless they talk to me first :/

    I feel this way a lot. But you're probably more interesting than you give yourself credit for. Just start by taking an interest in the other person, and keep the subject on them or whatever they're talking about.

      I do try to just talk about the other person, but it makes me nod off hearing ad nauseum about others' minutiae.

      I may be interesting, but I just don't feel that way.
