This is an interesting and amazing topic, and we should definitely talk about it. 

We’ve all felt like we’re a little boring at least once, right? Every time you go on Instagram or Facebook and see all these people doing all those super fun and interesting things, it’s easy to feel like a huge loser. ☺ 

Boring… is an epidemic of massive proportions. As we, as a society, sink deeper and deeper down the technological rabbit hole, learning and experiencing have basically been replaced with technology and killing time. 

There’s also a concept or notion of being too nice, therefore boring. This couldn’t be farther from the truth, because you should be a nice person, courteous and a gentleman above anything else. 

But the notion or concept of being too boring actually comes from the feeling that you’re stuck in a routine, and maybe you’re not doing enough with your time. 

That kind of thinking can now be changed, and you’re gonna learn some new and interesting ways on how to avoid thinking you’re a boring person. 

So here you have seven things that you can do to be a more interesting man aka less boring:

Acknowledge that boring is a state of mind

People aren’t boring. They feel boring. 

And so, from this day forward, right now, right here, you should be stating or proclaiming if you will: I am awesome! I am amazing! I am also interesting! I am not a boring person!

1.Be well-rounded as an individual.

Most of us are very proficient. We spend a lot of time and energy, doing one or two specific things. But the problem is that we focus on those specific things so much that we don’t seek out inspiration and education from other areas of the world around us. 

It’s cool you have a hobby, a passion, and a job, BUT make sure that you’re not isolating yourself and preventing yourself from learning about the world around us. 

Because it’s always about learning, it’s about continuously educating yourself, seeking out knowledge. Knowledge is the key to being less boring! 

2.Try something new every single day.

Let’s put it like this: routine is interesting’s Kryptonite ☺ 

When you do the same thing day after day, you just aren’t very interesting. It’s mundane; it’s routine. Try something new every day, even if it means trying new food, or taking a different route to work, or listening to some music instead of the news in the morning, or just wear a stylish hat that particular day… the possibilities are endless, and it doesn’t have to be something big. 

Try something that you’re curious about, something that sounds interesting. It’s an amazing way for you to break out of the routine and also, at the same time, enhance your world knowledge and your life experience. 

Basically, just by changing your daily routine even slightly, it changes your mind, it changes your perception of yourself, and this actually makes you feel more exciting. 

Also, treat yourself with something fun – a concert, a festival, a comedy club. 

This will result in you having more things to talk about, being more interesting, more well-rounded, and definitely not boring. 

3.Seek out and engage conversations with new people

Basically, seek out and engage somebody new in a conversation every day. Yes, try doing this every day, and you won’t regret it. 

A lot of times, we get stuck in our own little social bubble. We talk to the same people. We go to lunch with the same people; we interact with the same people. Are you gonna be more interesting sitting there, talking to the same people, same conversations? 

No, of course not. 

Seek out other people. There are so many amazing, interesting people out there that have amazing stories to tell. Learn from these people. It’s also going to enhance your life experiences and your interpersonal relationships. 

Yes, it’s easier said than done, but with all the technology today, and with all the tips and tricks regarding anything and everything… you can definitely find some info about conversation starters that can help you become more sociable and, therefore, more interesting, aka not boring. 

4.Constantly seek self-improvement

When you stop learning when you stop experiencing… you stop living. 

Life is about the experience and getting out there. It is not done in front of a computer. Yes, you can be entertained, but the real experience, the real relationships happen out there. 

Try new things and constantly seek self-improvement, both in skills and experiences, but also knowledge. 

5.Watch documentaries 

This is in direct correlation with the number 5 above because the more you educate yourself, the more you learn about a variety of things, the more interesting you are. It changes the way you look at the world. 

And you can learn so many things by watching documentaries and all sorts of fascinating stuff, all of which is just basically new info that will give you the power to talk about new stuff you’ve learned. 

You’ll look at things in a different way because you’ll know more about them. And the more you know, the more interesting you’ll become because you will be able to carry a conversation with just about anybody. 

6.Volunteer

If you’re not sure where to volunteer, you can always go online to search for opportunities in your area, and the best thing is you can go to a different place in need every week.
