I just realized how similar boring people are. All the most boring people I knew were people who were monotonous, overly detailed and seemed to have no idea that their end of the conversation feedback loop was broken. They seem to have no awareness of the other person’s involvement, interest level, or reactions/lack of reactions. Where’s the DSM-IV diagnosis for this?? Oh nevermind, the DSM-IV was written by boring people XD
Yesterday’s boring conversation—a coworker going on and on about how one student was struggling with writing a lab report and how she explained it to him. 5 minutes. Overly detailed. Monotone. Like I could care less about how the student wrote his lab reports. I literally said, “Gotta go! Appointment!” and ran away. If I didn’t, she’d have invested another 10 minutes in explaining this information to me.
