I always believe too much of anything is bad. You should keep a balance between everything. You should study,work or do what ever you are supposed to do but you should also enjoy your life.
I am shy and do not talk to people very much. I do not smoke or drink. But my friends do not say I am a bore. Because, other than smoking and drinking, I enjoy my life. I respect them and the way they are and get respect in return. I study, party and have fun. Everything is a part of our life and we should give time to everything.
So my advise to you is this - work when you need to and then hang around with friends. I am sure you can find atleast one night when you can go out with them. That will cheer them up and in turn will cheer you up. You can try finding some colleague from your work who can hang out at the time when you are free. Have fun.

Hi Jensky,
That is a little sad. But what about your colleagues? Can't they give you some time and hang out with you?
Tell me something. What do you like to do? What do you enjoy doing? I mean like surfing, watching movies, reading books, playing games(does not seem likely ), there is surely something you like to do yourself. What is that? You can do it and it can be fun for you alone. You will not need anybody to give you company at those times.

I guess I am like you, after work I go straight to our house. I don't have a nightlife either. But I can go if i want, I have friends at work, sometimes when they want to go out after work I go with them, sometimes I choose to go home straight to have a rest. Boring means you are not doing anything to make your life enjoyable. Enjoying is not always with friend, it either can be feel with a pet and play with it. You can go shopping alone and buy what you want and enjoy, it can be a good book or a new dress or a food. and you like to meet new friends, that is good. I met my new friend from a forum from my interest. I just feel that they are the right person I will meet in that forum that is why I continue to make friends with them. As of now we are still friends and we met for a get together just last October. You can do it too, join online forums and make friends. Even here in Mylot you can meet some, you can feel it , you can feel if a certain person is giving a genuine friendship.

Hi jensky
I hate to hear that you are feeling a little left out. I know that is hard to be young and have nothing to do. As for myself Im not young and have a husband. Therefore I don't the problems that you have. Sometimes I wished that I did.,,LOL I don't have alot of friends either but I am contended with that.
One thing that you could do is just pop up when your other friends are planning things with their friends. Don't say that you don't them because you have to make some new friends along the way. The friends that you do have were once strangers as well. Get out and see what you might be missing. Be socialable and good things will return to you. I wish you the best dear.
Keep smiling.

I would have you as a friend. You need to tell yourself that you are special and that you can make new friends. So don't be so down on yourself. I hope that you are feeling better now that it has been some time since you started this discussion. If you need to talk more you can PM me anytime. Remember one thing.
Keep smiling.

Hi Jensky: definetly! I'm a boring person and i have to say i'm happy being a boring person doing a routine and enjoying things that most people considers boring like reading books, watching films or stay here on a forum. What you can do it's to mmet new people, Internet offers many sites where you can find friends or you can join a group about something you feel passionate doing it. I think that would make you less boring. Lol. XD. Thanks for starting this topic, i tell you this being a boring person ;) Have a nice day.

hi jensky, i think im not boring. My friends always telling me that no dull moment when im with them. Actually yes, i believe them because im a happy person, you will only see me getting serious in serious talks ofcourse and whenever i get this headache. Jen you have to give time for yourself, you have to unwind,relax, dont always work, you will getting old quickly if you always work and have no time for pleasure. Atleast give your self a reward. Pamper yourself once in awhile, whats the used of always working for your future if you will get sick because of stress. Make time for yourself jen.

Hi dolyares: For the description, it seems that you are the kind of person totally different as i am and that i always look to have as a friend. At the same time i think those advices are exactly what a person needs, it's not all about work, obviously, we have to take care of us or probably nobody will think about what we need. Thanks for your answer. Have a nice day.

Life is a choice! If you choose to be boring then sorry for you. But as young as you are and healthy... try to make some changes and go out from your comfort zone. Life is great... adventure is fun. Try to do one action at a time... Go out with your friends this weekend. The next week try to hang-out with your cousins... then see the difference :) im sure you will enjoy. After all...NO MAN IS AN ISLAND!!!

Dear friend,
I could see that there are many friends, relatives and others who like me. Moreover I hope it is others who have to judge me whether as a boring or not boring person. Till now none has told me that I am boring. May be it depends upon how others get enjoyment from me. Still I could see that boring persons are also liked may be there are people finding enjoyment from boring people. I hope I am one among them.

"All work and no play makes you old and gray", not to mention boring. Try to go out even by yourself if there's no one to accompany you. Maybe you would meet someone, and socialize a bit more. Sometimes try to change your routine, make time for going out with your friends. One way would be to make room in your schedule for the events your friends are planning, and make sure nothing would make you cancel it. Sometimes its good to go out of the usual-home-work-home thing, there's no fun in that. :)

Sometimes I consider myself a boring person but to be honest with isn't boring at times. Most of us are so busy these days our schedule is work, home, and so on and occasionally something else is thrown in there. I use to have to work really early in the morning, I had to be there at 4:30 and most of my friends would want to hang out at 9pm or later at night. My friends would get mad and say come on just for a while but I'd say no because I had to be up early for work. I recently moved to California from Rhode Island so I don't have friends out here besides my best friend who moved with me, I get shy from time to time so it's really hard for me to make new friends but I don't have money to be going out all the time either. I would love to just have new friends over to watch a movie, talk and hang out or play video games but so many people want to spend money and sometimes things are expensive.
If your friends don't have time for you when your free and have time to hang out and only have time when their free than who's to wonder whether their true friends or not. Your friends should respect that you have work and/or school, your working to pay your bills and going to school to try and better yourself. All you can do is be yourself to make new friends, if someone can't like you for who you are, than they aren't worth your time at all. I'd rather have a few true friends than 100 fake ones.

I could be boring sometimes too, when I'm not in the mood. I choose to be absorbed in my work. But most of the time, I get along well with people of different personalities. Even if I'm usually shy at first, I end up with new friends made and I try to keep in touch with them as often as I can, hangout a few times. It doesn't have to be a party all the time, just balance your work and fun times. Do not opt yourself out during a get-together, and be open to meeting other friends of your close friends.

As the old saying goes.."A man who has friends must show himself friendly"...If you want to gain friends, be one...If you choose to be happy and find things to enjoy then you will not feel bored, don;t dwell on the negative just look on the brighter side of life. You deserve all the best in life...smile(^_^)

I can be boring, and I can be fun. It all depends on who I'm around or what I'm doing. I think I have a pretty good balance of work/play, but I would like to work a little less. But, when I'm done working, I go out with friends, we go to the bar or hang out and watch movies, play video games, stuff like that.
If your looking to meet new people, just go out and don't be afraid to talk to some random people. You'd be surprised, you might find somebody that could become a great friend.
I don't really like to talk to people I don't know, but if I go out with a few friends, then it's less of a problem. It is kind of fun to go out with a couple friends and talk to people. It seems like if your alone, and you meet somebody who's a jerk, it'll be worse than if you and your friends run into a jerk. Then you can all make fun of him.

I used to be in the same situation. Maybe I'm still a little boring of not completely boring to others.
I think you should start breaking out from that routine. Try to do something that you always wanted to do like maybe enrolling for a class (cooking, animation, acting, painting, photography) or maybe join a club that takes in anyone (hiking, biking, touring etc).

yes, i think so. i'm always shy to start a conversation. i don't speak to you, if you don't speak to me first. and if i we're in a group, i just listen to what they are saying. i can't open up with my ideas. i don't have permanent friends either because i don't know how to mingle with them anymore...after a long time that we didn't have a communication.

i can be boring if i choose to. see, life is full of choices. there are many things that can perk up some mood, can start a communication if we are just interested. there are a lot of things to talk to people, to strike up a conservation. try reading a lot. it helps.
going with friends to some places that does not interest us is true, BORING for us and sort of KILLJOY to a friend. you can stay at home if you want rather than going with friends to places not your liking, doing this does not necessarily mean that you are a boring person. you just simply don't enjoy it. that's all.
cheers jensky!!
