A hard question to answer, and even when answered the hardest answer to carry out. Well, for me anyway. Plus, I really need to know how to not be boring. I'm an undeniably boring person. I don't know if my true self is boring or if i'm concealing it.. either way, I am utterly boring.. did i mention how boring i am? i am 10000% more articulate and colourful online, just fyi..
post is under construction! 1. PUT YOURSELF OUT THERE, JUST FORCE YOURSELF OUT THERE Force yourself to speak first when you encounter new opportunities. I used to be outgoing and social when I was young, and as I recall things, my "trick" (back then apart of my natural habits) was to speak first. People tend to be nicer than you give them credit for. Chances are they're shy like you. 2. BE INTERESTING I am personally really boring, or maybe i'm too scared to open up, or there's nothing i can open up about because of how bland I am. I dont know.. but regardless, try to be interesting okay?! I mean I suck at this, but a GOOD TIP if you ever run out of conversation items, simply ask them something! People can go on forever about themselves! Well, most people anyway. If you were to find someone like me this might be awkward, since there's nothing much to say about me. A list of questions to ask when you've run out of conversation (questions that people tend to expand on so it won't have to be awkward): - Do you have any siblings? - What are you studying? - I notice that you ______ (are wearing an apple watch, have red nail polish, have blue eyes, etc). - Do you watch any tv shows? What are they? Any recommendations? - what are your favorite songs? - Who's your favorite actor/dancer/author/painter/teacher/person? 3. REVEAL YOUR TRUE SELF if you truly want to become good with people, authenticity is key. I mean, this is a step I haven't conquered yet, but I think it is the final step for me. When you expose your quirks or oddities, it shows that you're human. Try cracking jokes, unless you're not about jokes.. Go on tangents about stuff you're passionate about. If you notice they're repelled by your true self, they're not worth conversing with anyway (despite your lonely soul craving a friend). When i was in grade 4 i found out a girl called me weird. It struck me hard and made me question my coolness and entire being. It kind of stuck with me for a while, and made me quite self conscious. When I was in grade 5, there was this girl who was an amazing athlete who I thought was so cool yet intimidating. Yet today, more than 5 years later we're friends. Give people the benefit of the doubt, and give yourself the benefit of the doubt too....
