“If you’re bored, it’s because you are boring.”
Who defines who is boring and who is interesting? Are some individuals interesting to all persons? Are some individuals boring to all people? Are you - with reference to the quote above - bored only because you are a boring person?
i think it’s true to a degree - your state of boredom says something about you and you only.
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.
