Even though I have had a rather interesting life I cant help but to feel as if my life is rather dull. Perhaps this is because being raised in this generation I compare myself with things I have seen in the movies and on the television.

My life is generally pretty interesting - for me anyway. I'm 25, have an education, live and work in a foreign country, have no strings attached and live in the moment - I go where I feel like. Life for me is an adventure and it is far more interesting to experience Tibet than it is to see Brad Pitt do it or to actually find "The Beach" instead of reading about it. All it takes to have an interesting and fulfilling life is to listen to your inner voice - an interesting life for me might well be pretty dull for you and reversed.
It is true that we have grown up with the expectation of leading spectacular eventful lives with the world applauding us - but in the end it's you that count so don't compare your life to Hollywood's fiction but to your own wishes and standards. Do what you want - chase your dreams and life is bound to be interesting and just GREAT!

There was this one director that said, "people love movies because it brings meaning to moments." He went on to describe how the simple structure of most stories/movies help bring meaning to otherwise simple events: background, climax, resolution. The resolution makes sense of the climax. I think almost anyone's life can be interesting enough to make a movie out of. The problem is, in real life, tooo many things happen and there isn't enough time to review events in detail and bring meaning to them. If we did, everyday events would be a lot more interesting. But then again, when we overdo that, you'd find yourself a borderline drama queen fit for reality tv...
In general though, my life feels like a comedy.

Each of us has an interesting life. Have you never heard the saying 'may you have an interesting life'? It is usually utilized to demonstrate a curse, but the fact remains that all of us lead strange, intricate, complex tapestries of lives. Even if, from the daily perspective it may seem rather mundane.

No, I don't feel like my life is interesting. I am not comparing my life to any others, I simply know that my life is dull.

Is that really the question , or is it, are you an interesting person? I think there is a difference. You can be an interesting person and lead a boring life or you can be a boring person who leads an interesting life.

I don't really feel that it is interesting...
because when my feelings changes every day,
and I don't look life through feelings,
sometimes I FEEL that life is boring....
But I can see my life, that it is very interesting and
Fun but how sad to say that life is too short to waste it in Worldly Matters.

My life is interesting because it can be fun, stressful, and exciting at times. Everyone's experience is different. You just have to make it your own and not expect to much. Don't compare your life to t.v or movies because it's not realistic.

That which is of interest is highly subject. I find X interesting, you find Y interesting. Comparing our experiences to others is always dangerous as we always tend to focus on one side of the equation.
Overall, I would say that I have a life that is far too interesting.

my life has been pretty interesting. for only being 23, i've seen and been through a lot. through my friends deaths with drugs, cocaine addiction (recovered!) my house burning down, moving and living on my own at the age of 17,seeing third world countries on mission trips, having strangers coming up and having conversations with me as if they've known me for a while on subways and buses ..being bulimic and emotionally abused, my dad leaving my mom and not seeing him since, having a mother from s.korea come here and work 3 jobs, coming home and dropping out of school (first time dropping out) so that i can go home and work for my sister andmother while she was sick, my friend being murdered last year, going from wanting to be an accomplished musician (i was one of the best in pgh) to dropping out of college by moving from pittsburgh to cleveland.then moving out to nyc to only find myself now working as a paralegal with no experience for a asshole lawyer.
i only look back to wait for more. bring it on....

interesting question.
i've had others tell me in recent times that my life is so very interesting, to which i am taken aback..
words i would have chosen to describe my life at those times were more like...confusing, misdirected, and uncertain.... i suppose it was the whimsical part of it all that they found interesting. when i did some traveling (cross country road trip) with my sis, cousins and older friends all admonished me to "do it now...before you get tied down" ahh..how interesting! to which i thought...interesting.~
