How do you tell someone they're boring?

maybe she's just laid back, or maybe she's thinks what others do just isnt interesting, for example, my friends go out bar hopping, get drunk and wind up with a hangover, puking their guts up the next morning and suffering for a day or 2, i myself dont find that a good night out so they think im borning because i myself would rather pass that up and do something else. id tell her, she's your friend, she asked so tell her what you feel, tell her in a friendly way, it could spice up her life some. but if she's happy in her own skin the way she is, so be it.

You know, that is a very good question! Of course, most people don't want to hurt anyone's feelings so it's really tricky. I would find it really hard to do this! I guess if someone were boring enough while talking to me, a subtle and unavoidable way to tell him or her that he or she was boring is if I accidentally fall asleep while they were talking to me! That would be kind of funny so perhaps that person could take the hint! Seriously, though, if someone were really boring, I would probably just try to break it to them in the nicest way possible and suggest things for them to talk about or things that they could do that wouldn't bore people. It would only be to help them out. Great discussion because I've never really thought about this before!

Well with something like this, I think it really depends on who the person is as to how you approach this, and when the Best time to tell them. I actually work with one guy who is quite Boring, but he thinks he knows everything, and is always shocked when something happens that is ordinary life thinking it is something that does not happen that often. And he will bring that same topic up over and over again even for a couple of weeks, etc. to where you could tell it exactly the way he did as well. I have and many others have told him he is boring, and he can take it. But if you do it to someone at the wrong time it could make them loose focus on life, etc. as well.

Well, if it's my husband and there are just those days that he bores me with his topic of things to discuss, I tell him directly. But I make it up to him later! Other than him, I don't say it with words. I'm not sure if I'll have the right words to tell someone that they are boring. But if I really can't endure the situation and I'm bored, almost to the point of nodding off to sleep, I say it with my actions. I usually say it with my eyes. Whenever someone talks to me, I make sure I make direct eye contact. That way, they are assured that they have my attention. When the moment comes that my eyes start to break contact, that's my cue that I'm starting to get bored.

personally I don't think telling someone who asked the question that she is boring is being insulting. If it was me I would much rather be told the truth as opposed to having a white lie though a lie none the less. If people are not told the truth they will carry on being the same person ie if they are boring and and told they aren't they won't change as they think they ain't boring. Where as if they are told the truth at least they can then start taking steps to address the problem if they want too. I think its being a good friend when you can be brutally honest with someone.

Quite simple. Tell her about it, but tell her ways to improve on it! Don't be rude about it, be thoughtful! Telling someone they're boring shouldn't be done so for the reason of making them feel bad about themselves, it should be about improving communication, making your friendship better, and sometimes, changes in ways of being less boring can be beneficial for your career or goal too! Best of luck! :)

I am not sure i would say that to a friend. I think if you feel he or she is boring than maybe you should not be friends. I think feeling that way about someone that is suppose to be a friend may mean you are not meant to be friends. For me I know sometimes life can be boring so if she or he is boring only sometimes than maybe you might want to tell them. This is my opinion only and I hope this helps happy mylotting to you.

Tell him or her that you are not boring but we are not on the same page.
