**What Makes You Interesting? Or Better Yet, Are YOU Interesting?**


Is being interesting in the eye of the beholder? Are some people just naturally more interesting than others? What makes a person interesting? Is being “different” the same as being “interesting”? Here is a list of things I ran across than can help to define if someone is boring or interesting…

You are a confident person.
You are up on current events.
You have at least one interesting hobby.
You are creative and like to make things.
You listen carefully to what people say.

You have a good memory.
You don’t let yourself be bored.
You read regularly.
You don’t complain much.
You start conversations with strangers.

You love to learn new things on your own.
You joke around a lot and make people laugh.
You don’t watch much television.
You tell a good story.
You are irreverent and sometimes shocking.

You are very open-minded about people. You give everyone a chance.
You refrain from talking about your feelings or focusing too much on yourself.
You are friends with interesting people from all walks of life.
You are well-traveled, and you enjoy visiting new places.
You have a career that you are passionate about.

You rarely turn down an invite to do something.
You try a lot of new things. You don’t like to be stuck in a rut.
You participate in at least one group activity outside of work and school.
You are not a snob. You don’t think too good for anything or anyone.
You don’t gossip or argue. You keep your conversations upbeat.

Alright y’all it is time to chime in! ..Are you boring & self involved or interesting? Do you find yourself inclined to spend time with people who you find interesting?

Let’s take this one step further..IF someone were to ask what makes you interesting; what would your answer be??? I’ll share if you’ll share…I’m working on my listening skills 🙂

  1. Piggybacking , somewhat, on mishunderstood’s response..I think most of us are interesting; and/or have an interesting background..We all have a story..Not everyone knows how to tell their story though…Or to share it..I find folks that are passionate about life and/or what they spend time doing very interesting..People who have read & read and can recant what they’ve learned verbally..OMG I can listen to them (& learn..) forever..We are drawn to interesting people that are living extraordinary lives, because they make us feel anything(even our dreams..) are possible…I am a true dreamer & I dream BIG

    1. Ahhh, you’ve tapped into one of the things I find interesting about people…People who actually have something to “say” , especially things that challenge what I feel or believe; are incredibly interesting to me! I find myself learning from those type of folks; forces me to continue to think outside of the box..Also motivates me to think, think , think. Thanks for adding your 2 cents C.V. ! 🙂

  2. Well, if this is a score type of assessment, I got 18/25, but honestly, I find people interesting when I know little about them. I also think that there are different qualities that make people interesting, like the way they think, the way they talk, the way they reach out to others, and even their funny little quirks. Heck, I think we are all interesting people with interesting stories, if we take the time to listen to them.
    INTERESTING post! 😉

    1. Lols..Waving X!! I was so hoping you’d respond..You never let me down..

      Isn’t that the truth@ that list (no pun intended..) could make even the dullest people “think” they are interesting…

      However, that leads to me to why I posted this topic in the first place…Was an actual live conversation that inspired this thought process..Friend of mine has said repeatedly they find people in a certain region, very interesting…Due in part to the different cultures in that region..Has mentioned it SO much that now I’m curious if I’d find those people just as interesting! And of course that led me to wonder if “interesting” isn’t purely based on perception…There are things I find interesting about folks , that others might not feel is unique..I’ll drop my full thoughts on this when time permits later..And I’ll also answer the question about why I think I’m interesting..Yep, I really DO consider myself as such.

      And my List of X blog buddy also 🙂 Where else can I read the hot current world topics; & laugh even over the serious issues?? Laughing is so good for the spirit

      1. I wasn’t referring to the list. It’s more a question of people not being able to see themselves objectively. Do you think that most people would actually call themselves “dull” or “boring”? I’d say only 5%-10% would say that, and they are probably not the dullest, just those who are less self-assured. And they wouldn’t necessarily be the most boring.
