It’s fine not being the type to leap off a cliff or try to pull off wearing nothing but body paint and a smile to work, that’s not the kind of boring we’re talking about. While your book group or chess club might not be the kind of thing that appeals to the more adventurous souls out there, being boring is more about not finding that spark that makes life worth living.

Chris Haigh at Lifehack lays out ten habits of truly boring people, and no one wants to end up with that epitaph on the old tombstone.

1. They always talk about themselves – and only themselves

Boring people always seem to find themselves the most interesting point of conversation. They never think about what might be interesting to other people, or about the issues or viewpoints of the rest of the world. Boring people just can’t get beyond the viewpoint that if it doesn’t immediately effect them or their immediate family, then it can’t be of note. Nothing is worse than a boring person who cannot stop but talk about themselves, or always manages to circle the conversation back around to their views and opinion.

2. They never expand their personal horizons

Boring people always stay stuck in their ‘hinterlands’ – their own personal, psychological and physical boundaries. They never try anything new, or adventurous, or potentially amazing for fear of failing somehow or for finding that they don’t like the aim of their experiment. It never occurs to a boring person that they would connect more with different people and different experiences and improve their quality of life by expanding their horizons.
