34. People call me boring: what should I do?

The Quiet Warrior Podcast with Serena Low

Do people tell you that you’re boring?

Before being too quick to assume they are right (or wrong!), let’s use this as an opportunity to reflect.

• Does someone saying I’m boring make me boring?
• What does it mean to be boring?
• What makes someone interesting?
• Is it about getting out of the house more, having hobbies, doing fun and interesting things, meeting new people, learning a new skill?

The key to being interesting is ENTHUSIASM.

• When you care enough about something, you will have something to say.
• Recognize when you’re in the wrong circles or conversations.
• You may feel bored and tune out of discussions because you’re not interested in what they’re talking about.
• Look for ways to tune in to discussions where you can make a contribution by listening, noticing, and remembering - all ways we activate our introvert strengths.
• Look for groups where your kindred spirits are more likely to gather.
• Remember that you are responsible for the energy you bring.
• Bring curiosity, bring fascination, bring a spirit of service.
