Is it normal to be a boring person

I don't seem to have things in common with people around me. Often I don't know what to say in social situations. People seem to swap funny anecdotes and I have none. I don't want to talk about relationships or what other people are doing like they seem to.
I'm generally a boring person to be around; I'd discuss literature for fun, spend hours with animals, go for walks...

    in general society is brainwashed to cater towards mass consumption and become mindless drones, and therefore the majority of people are boring. you however sound anything but boring, even a little fascinating considering your relatively unique perspective on things. I would much rather have a friend like you than someone who is addicted to celebrity worship or the latest superficial trends.

    • That's a first haha. You wouldn't though, seeing as you hate teenagers.

    I don't think you sound boring. What's boring is how much some people gossip these days. I can appreciate anecdotes, but too much constant relationship talk makes a colonoscopy sound like fun.

    Additionally cats and dogs are far more interesting than all the popular vampire romance stories or Fifty Shades of Poo. My cat's litter box is infinitely more compelling than all that bullshit.

  • You're like me. I'm a rather dull person much like the skies in Seattle from November to March.

    And just what is boring about literature?? It sounds more like the people who you've tried to socialise with are not that academic but have social skills...I usually find people like that fun for a bit but ultimately boring. You sound much more interesting to me. I think you need more selective company, extroverts tend to be able to talk to anyone and they let off steam that way. People with a strong introvert side do better with one or a few close friends.

    • Thanks :) I don't consider it boring at all, nor intellectual matters as a whole, but people my age don't seem to want anything that deep.

    I'm pretty boring as well and I'm not very good in social situations either. Also, most of the stuff I spew out is random nonsense.
