Right.
1) Who the hell cares if some bloke thinks you're boring. Screw him!
2) Maybe you are boring, and that's OK. Technically, "boring" means "boring to others." Remember that someone totally interested in hockey could be terribly bored watching a football game. That person is not "boring to the world" or "boring in general" but just "boring to that particular person."
Therefore:
3) Like the French king stated above, as long as YOU are not "bored" then it's all good. We people must do what we like to do, or else our lives are not fulfilled. If you fancy reading books on a Saturday night, I say... GO FOR IT. Do it up. Hardcore. Read that book and flip them pages! All the while laughing at the poor blokes and blokettes stuck in a boring party where people drink over-priced yeast excretion. |

There are definitely worse things than being boring.
To be honest, I expect a lot of people would actually feel relieved if someone admitted that they were okay with being boring every now and then. I would hate to live my life in perpetual fear of being boring/bored.
Of course, you have to do exciting things every now and then or you'll get depressed, go insane and die. |

Be true to yourself. Even if you become a sociable person you will just end up having similar problems.
I sort of have a split personality when it comes to this. Some days I am very outgoing, rounding people up for social events, being the life of the party, drink till 4 AM kinda of person.
And then other days I'm a loner recluse. Reading or just sitting around and thinking. Not wanting contact with anyone, etc. I feel bad for my friends that I have this Jekyll and Hyde personality. It must be difficult for them. But I blow where my moods take me. The less social types get a little fed up with my constant pushing to get everyone out. The party-harders get weirded out by my loner days, and the social butterfly, life at a mile a minute types wonder why I'm not more driven....
I just end up getting bored of any one direction after a while... |

| if you are so boring and your co-worker is in fact very interesting, why would he take the time to listen in on your conversation and then pipe up with a commentary on it? if he were really that interesting or secure with himself and whatever it is he does with his free time, the fact that you were planning what he deemed to be a "boring" weekend wouldn't have even registered with him. it also sounds like he he was dangling a carrot in front of you, trying to get you to inquire what he had planned that was so much more exciting. eff that guy and the upperclass horse he rode in on. too many of the people teaching in korea are spoiled rich kids who decided they wanted to take a year off between grad school or joining the family business. they can afford to run off to another province for the weekend cause saving money isn't an issue. just ignore that guy from now on. you are better off without him. |

It depends on why you came to Korea. If it's to experience another culture, then you should get out more. If it's to pay of debt back home, then stay in more.
It's your life. |
