Bored? Don't Expect Others to Lift You Up

I think an expectation of many individuals, who often suffer with feelings of boredom, is that they hope others will entertain them all the time.  Good luck with that!  The truth is people can grow bored with trying to be everything to everyone who feels bored. 

Sometimes singles flock to the Internet looking for companions because they are bored.  They aren't much interested in anything serious just a casual dating relationship where someone or a group of singles will suggest some things to do so that they are no longer feeling bored.  Once a person notices that he or she is often the one coming up with conversation, places to go, things to see, and so on, he or she will eventually fade out of the boring individual's life.  The bored person may or may not think he or she is the cause.

As we all know, it takes two to have a relationship not just one, and if you know by your very nature you are not an interesting person, consider working on that, because fun, exciting, creative, and intelligent types, who enjoy their lives, will one day get tired of you sooner or later.

The habits of highly boring people: Chris Sauve at TEDxCarletonU

Boring People Don't Know They are Boring Until...

Boring people don't know they are boring until someone tells them whether nicely or rudely.  They are ususally in the group with the others agreeing that someone else is "a bore, annoying, has no life..."  Meanwhile, what they don't realize is they are describing themselves.

Once someone told me (note: I am changing a few details for privacy reasons), "I no longer wanted to date her, because she was boring.  I had to end it with her."  I thought to myself, "Could it be that she reacted in the way that she did toward you, because she felt that you were a bore!"  I mean let's be honest with ourselves, we are not always interesting, great or fun to be around.  But seriously, when you start seeing a pattern in your life that is telling those around you, "Loser!"  You have to do some things differently.  Why wait for someone to argue, threaten or take something away from you because you refuse to change!

You may have heard someone say, "Get a life!"  What exactly does that mean?  It means enjoy living.  Avoid the temptation to make the job your all.  Have something else going on outside of your routines.  For some people, they may not be employed, so you have more freedom than most to do some interesting things.  Consider doing the following to add a little interest to your dull life (that is if I am describing you...lol):

One.  Check your local newspaper or a website that tailors to tourists in your area.  You will find some upcoming events.  See if any appeal to you or those you know and then invite them or go yourself.

Two.  Find out what classes are available to help you better your skills in something.

Three.  Start collecting useful things like family history for starters or researching about topics you know little about. (This will definitely help your conversational skills.)

Four.  Read books that will teach you more about your job or interest.

Five.  Connect with family and friends online or offline that you haven't spoken to in awhile.

Six.  Plan a family get-together or a reunion with old friends.

Seven.  Attend a place of worship. (Trust me, spirituality will definitely make you interesting to be around especially if you have some spiritual gifts!  But you might lose a few in your circle too--so what, they were boring anyway--lol).

Seriously, do something interesting with your life while you can still breathe and walk on your own, because one day you won't be able to do much but hope for death.  Make the most of your life--do what's right and best for you and those you love!

6 Signs You or Someone You Know is Boring to Be Around

Maybe at one time you were interesting.  People enjoyed being around you.  But these days life responsibilities have been getting the best of you.  You may think that you are still fun and interesting, but upon closer inspection of your life, maybe not.  How do you know you have grown into a boring person?

One.  When anyone ever talks to you about something you keep bringing up the same subject matter about things like ie.) kids, jobs, etc.  Your conversation rarely changes.

Two.  You don't talk with enthusiasm, a sense of happiness, or seem like you even enjoy living.

Three.  You visit the same places in your free time and you don't bother to go elsewhere for any number of reasons like: it's just easier, cheaper, or a shorter distance from a job.  Therefore, if you don't go anywhere, but the same spots all the time, you don't have nothing new to really say and you limit your life experience.

Four.  People tell you things like, "You are boring...Do you get out much?"  They don't bother to call invite you anywhere or visit you.

Five.  Loved ones don't hear from you or see you much even your intimate relationship is declining because you don't bother to take any personal or vacation days to do anything fun or different. You rarely look outside yourself and your routines.

Six.  You don't act interested in what others have to say, and you don't look for opportunities to relate to others in ways that make them want to enjoy your company.

As you ponder these points, think about other things you might not say or do that make people feel like you are a bore.  Spice your personal and professional life up a bit by changing the way you do things, checking in with your significant and children to find out what their needs might be, and take a look around your personal dwelling, neighborhood and elsewhere for problems that you might be able to solve.  Being helpful and encouraging toward a variety of people (outside of your job), and reflecting on who you are and your purpose for living are just a few things that will help you toward getting out of your boring slump.  Write a list of things that you would like to do and share with your loved ones.  Set a date and time and do what you promised yourself and others.

Break the Ice at Those Boring Xmas Parties

With Christmas just looming around the corner and all those boring office parties and family get-togethers that you are going to have to attend, why not take some action to make them a little bit more exciting and break the ice and lighten up the atmosphere. It takes very little knowledge and only a small amount of practice to perform some very basic tricks and with two or three of these in your arsenal you will be able to keep people entertained and puzzled for a long time. Not only that but the ladies love the air of mystery and theatricals surrounding a magician.

You'll probably be thinking right now "how would I go about doing that?"

Well, one of the easiest and simplest ways is to learn a few simple card tricks and you will find people will soon be flocking around you to see you work your magic.

You may be surprised to find that there is a card trick that you can learn in about five seconds which will amaze and stun people. You don't have to be a David Blaine to be able to perform some amazing card tricks with only a little bit of practice and you will find yourself to be the centre of attraction very quickly with people clamouring to find out how you do your tricks. But, of course, you're a professional and you will never reveal them.

In a minute I'll show you a card trick that you can do immediately, which takes no practice and although so very simple will leave people baffled as to how you performed the trick.

There are also a number of very basic techniques which are very simple to learn and which, with a little bit of practice, will enable you to apply those techniques to a number of tricks resulting in different outcomes.

As promised, here's a little teaser of what you can do, and it is only one of hundreds of different tricks that you can learn in just a few minutes to stun and amaze your family and friends.

This one I call the "Worlds Easiest Card Trick"...

I will warn you now, by the time you have read to the end of this trick you will not believe that it is actually possible to do but let me assure you that it does work. Don't believe me? Read through to the end, grab yourself a pack of cards and try it - you'll be amazed.

Effect;

Start off with a deck of cards and ask the person to thoroughly shuffle the deck. Then you ask him to name any two cards, just with a face value of the cards without any suit, i.e., Jack and nine.

Place the deck of cards onto the table and pretend to concentrate whilst having your hand or fingers touching the top of the deck. Then ask your spectator to turn over the cards himself and to shuffle through them until he comes to the two cards that he named which, to his surprise he will find in the pack together.

That's it - the trick is complete.

So now you're thinking to yourself how does that work, I haven't actually had to do anything. The trick works by probability alone, the only thing you have to do is to add some theatricals by pretending to concentrate hard.

When the Spectator in your audience names the cards although he is only picking two he is, in fact, naming eight cards that exist in the pack as he is not required to pick any suit.

The theory is that out of those eight cards, jack of spades, jack of hearts, jack of clubs and the jack of diamonds together with the nine of hearts, nine of clubs, nine of diamonds and nine of hearts, that at least one of the Jack's will be next to one of the nines.

Would I lie to you? grab a pack of cards and give it a go, you don't even need an audience to test this one.

On average, about one in 10 times that you try the trick there will be a card between the two cards that the Spectator picked. If that occurs just redo the trick after telling the Spectator that you weren't concentrating hard enough and you will find that it will work.

That's how simple card tricks can be. Go out now and amaze your family!!

Bored People Are Boring

Whether you are looking for your future wife or for a roll in the hay, the first thing you need to do is make sure you are the best man you can be.

Before you even think about stepping foot in that bar or party, you should be devoting every spare second of your time into becoming an interesting person with a chock full life.

Because let's face it bored people are boring.

If you meet your dream woman and your life looks like this-- get up, work, go home, watch TV, go to bed - she may turn around and walk out of your life forever.

However, if your life is something like this next scenario, you've got it made:

It is a beautiful morning; you are woken up by your sweet little dog sniffing your face. You brush your teeth, throw on some nice athletic pants and a formfitting tee and head out onto the street with Rover for an early morning walk. You smile at everyone who makes eye contact: the little old lady, the grumpy baker, whatever.

You are already a little more interesting because owning a pet shows something to others about you: you are caring and are able to take care of something besides yourself.

Not long after, you head for work. You could walk, but you want to ride your vintage Schwinn. It is really cool gunmetal gray and always elicits compliments because it is so unique. You bring your portable chess mat and a bag of pieces in your backpack because you are going to spend your lunchtime meeting up with some other chess aficionados for a quick game in Little Italy. After the game, you stop at John Varvatos and splurge on a beautiful gray cashmere scarf. You also pick up a cool leather bracelet with studs that will go great with your black, formfitting button up shirt.

You now take pleasure in creating an outfit that makes your body look its best. It gives you even more self confidence to start the day knowing you look good.

After work, you head straight to the gym and swim several invigorating laps before meeting up with your volleyball group. After a heated game of volleyball, some of you decide to go grab a few tapas and sangria at this hot new restaurant.

On your walk home, you stop at the corner bookstore and end up picking up a book about your latest interest - French art in the 18th century. You are planning on attending a new exhibit at the Museum of Modern Art.

Your life is full. You have friends, you have hobbies, and you have fun. The only thing missing is a special lady in your life, but you know that if you keep on doing what you are doing, you will meet her. Meanwhile, you are living life to the fullest and becoming more interesting and appealing to a woman each and every day.
