And an interesting person, is not considered boring because thats how most people perceive him.
But in my opinion…. the level of how bored you feel depends on what mood you are in. If you are in a mood of excitement, and don’t find any around, or are not able to generate excitement…. you will get bored !
And if people around you are most of the time seeking excitement, and you are not able to stimulate them beyond their thresh hold of excitement, you will be considered boring by the people.
Whereas if people are seeking a certain level of excitement and you provide much more excitement than they seek…. you may be considered an exciting/ non-boring person.

i once knew a person who could take the most boring sounding subject and make it incredibly fascinating.
it is a gift.
still, i doubt that there are many people who find every one either boring or interesting – we do have the power of discretion and judgement and we do not respond to every one the same way.
