i want to be more interesting
i'm not really shy, but i'm quiet a lot cause i don't like talking but i don't shy away from it
i find myself and other people find me boring
a lot of time i'd really love quiet time but this has made a habit of me not talking as much
i still don't like to talk much but i don't want to be boring
any tips?

We all have things that we like to do. Just because you are quiet doesnt mean that you are not interesting. So what you are not a motor-mouth, the world needs less of those. Listeners are really the people that contemplate ideas and change the world.

A shy person can be interesting to other people. It's difficult to be shy but being so doesn't necessarily mean the shy person is also boring. Once the shy person opens up to people they are comfortable with, I believe they are very interesting people.
A quiet person can also be interesting. They just choose when and where and who to talk to. Just because a person is quiet doesn't mean they can't carry an interesting conversation. Sometimes a quiet person can be very interesting to talk to because they probably spend more time thinking about things then just running off at the mouth.
But..if you are boring.. that's entirely different. Some boring people can be out going, social and talk a LOT about usually nothing but themselves.
Some other boring people droan on and on about topics other people have either heard to death or really don't care to hear at all.
Still some boring people can be in a room full of people, sit in a corner or glued to a couch and say nothing the entire night. Or be on a date with an interesting person and make NO conversation at all.
If you are truly boring, then I'd suggest reading the news paper, taking some interesting classes, read some books, develope a hobby (art is a good one, people love artist). Learn some world and local events, watch the Discovery Channel (great stuff) so when you are in the company of others you have something to talk about. And don't be afraid to jump in a conversation. You may be more interesting then you think!
Good luck!

I would have to say that quiet people would have more things roaming around in their head than most people. They always think and analyse even minor things in depth and even if they have opinions, they would more likely keep it to themselves because they may be hesitant whether it is something people want to hear which will so called 'damage' their reputation if the other party doesnt agree. They also may lack confidence and are scared of saying 'the wrong thing'.
There is a difference between shy and quiet. It really depends on how the person feels or is thinking.Once you start talking to a shy person, they would start getting more comfortable talking and would probably make the effort to try and contribute more by asking questions. They could be talkative and active within their group of friends but are shy/dont talk when other people or larger groups of people are around, and quiet people are just basically quiet. They dont really talk to their friends and are just basically boring because they just dont talk at all. No matter how much you try to talk to a quiet person, you wouldnt find out much anyway.
Just take little steps, you may be more comfortable talking to someone on a one-on-one basis than a group of people which could be rather intimidating most of the time.

Start with 1 person at a time, find someone that has the same interests as you and talk about that.
Alone time is good but you need to interact with other people, find their perspectives and wath their ideas are. It's important not to only know your opinion.
Good luck!

Find friends that like the same things that you like.Don't wait for them to ask what you think. If your mingling with them then really listing to what there talking about and put your 2 cents in.Yes you can be interesting.

I find people that are quiet are usually very intelligent and observing what is going on around them instead of shooting there mouth off. You are probably good at reading people and a good listener. You are fine...

Find some activities that will make you have to be extroverted. Try dance class or do something that will cause you to scream...like a roller coaster ride or a good love making session with someone who can take you there. No....really, you are blocked in your throat chakra. And people who have stagnant energy in this chakra can end up with throat issues, like thyroid problems or throat cancer.
LET IT OUT!!!

if you read a lot and have many different interests you can be a non boring quiet person. do remember to respond when others are talking than they won't think you are bore or shy

If you are a guy it would be better to be a bit more asertive but not to much. Voice your opinion and don't let anyone say that you are wrong. If you are a girl I would be less shy but you don't have to listen to me. Being shy is totally hot {sometimes}.

you are who you are.
don't try to change that just because you want to be like others.
You'll find the right people for you.People who will appreciate your company, points of view and more important, your silence.
Most people talk too much abut nothing!
