ever get the feeling that your boring?

i try talking to people face to face and on msn etc, i ask them how they are and what they've been up to etc but i always get the impression that im boring.
like they dont want to stay and chat every time. i just cant seem to go on from there cos they dont want to..

i got talking to this girl one day and we did have a good convo but she stopped it and went somewhere else. in a way it was like she was in control of the convo. but after that she kinda went all weird on me like im a germ really...i said hi to her but she looked grossed out like she didnt want to be seen anywhere near me.

im not giving off 'desparate signals'. im just friendly and i like talking to ppl. im not in their face or anything but im getting the feeling like i have bad social skills and i cant hold a convo or that i cant have a convo...

It could be something else.
Boringness usually doesn't make people look at you like a germ.

More likely, it's how you look/dress, the things you say (boring or not...could just be weird/inappropriate things), or how you hold yourself (are you painfully awkward, for example?). It could even be your reputation. It's really hard to give advice or yes or no answers on forums, with such little knowledge of the situation or person we're talking about.

It terrifies me. The thought that I'm just doing the old monotonous conversations worries me so much that I actually stopped going on MSN.

This wasn't a helpful reply at all, I'm so sorry. xox

Try being less boring. "Hi. How are you? Did you have a nice day? Lovely weather isn't it. Its my birthday in 364 days, did you know? Its so soon I can't wait." Talk about something interesting. Make fun of them. Make fun of other people. Make fun of them. Do something interesting, then talk about it. Make fun of them for not having done that.

Sorry Yoda but those cliche lines are too boring.

I'm never boring. I'm wonderful.

...that's what I tell myself, at least.

I get the opposite, my brain works in interesting ways. I think its more often people judge me for being so quirky/interesting/random, so I'm probably not in the best position either

Congratulations. I was highlighting how **** the conversation would be, didn't think I had to spell it out for people.

Meh I'm always boring on MSN. I can't really hold a casual conversation on it. I tend to only talk to people when I have a specific reason for talking to them. If I just want a chat I'll wait till I see them next.

As for in person, I think I'm more interesting when you get to know me. I probably come across as quite awkward when meeting new people though.

I guess everyone will find themselves boring at some point because lots of msn convos usually die after 'how are u' 'wot u been up2' :s-smilie:

No; but I usually acknowledge that the vast, vast majority of students are very boring indeed.

You can get over your intensely boring nature by being loud, over-confident or a bit of a prick. Or at least, that's how most people deal with it.
