Wow. Being boring is not what it’s cracked up to be. I mean, boring comes and goes.

Ed 🙂
 
I sent the link on to my FB page. I am sure my friends and family will find me way, way past boring! Peace.
 
A “study”?

Oh come on! The article was in Harper’s Bazaar for goodness sake. 🤷

AirBnB decides what makes a person not boring, and then creates a “study” to make people feel bad about themselves for not being more interesting.

How dumb.

I have never planned a spontaneous vacation.

I have never stayed out into the wee hours of the night on a weekday.

I haven’t taken up a new sport.

I haven’t gotten serious about a new hobby.

But I have done 30-hour road trips with college friends.

And I’ve coached a dozen teams of young people for Odyssey of the Mind over the years.

And I’m a raising an amazing son.

And I’ve taught thousands of children over the years.

And I’ve been in a group that sang the National Anthem on the field before a Rockies game twice (and once more in a couple weeks).

And we just took a road trip to see a total solar eclipse… and then walked around on the interstate when traffic came to a complete standstill on the way home. 😃

My life is AWESOME! And if it bores other people, who cares? I love it, and thank God for it.

NOW GET OFF MY LAWN! :mad:

I was born boring, so the study fails anyway. :yawn:

As if being “boring” were a bad thing. 😉
 
what does “boring” mean actually? Peaceful? Calm? Dependable? Accepting? Resourceful? Self reliant?
 
So people become boring in their thirties and become interesting again in their 50s.

It’s almost as if there is something else they’re focusing on in those 20 years.

I don’t know, raising their kids perhaps? They don’t get “boring”. They are just in a different stage of life which means they do “fun” differently.
 
I’d like to see a study on how boring people who study boredom are.

I feel like this is yet another article written by extroverts, for extroverts.

By their standards, I’m already boring! No need to wait until I’m old …

Staying out until the early hours on a weekday —Staying out, EXTROVERT THING!
Trying a new hobby—Introverts/Extroverts
Going out of the way to make a new friend—EXTROVERT
Booking a spontaneous holiday—EXTROVERT THING
Learning a new skill–Introvert/Extrovert
Visiting a friend unannounced—EXTROVERT THING (not to mention rude)
Changing jobs–Most people don’t have a choice to do this
Going on a spontaneous shopping trip–EXTROVERT THING
Asking someone out–EXTROVERT THING
Trying a new sport–EXTROVERT THING

7 out of 10 of these ONLY apply to Extroverts, one is out of control of 99% of people and 2 are things that would appeal to introverts. It’s highly biased towards the idea that introverts are boring and not worth being called interesting people. Which is a true shame.
