"I'm no longer fun, and so far from interesting"

I'm just me. It's more like take it or leave it. Maybe to some I'm interesting and some they don't even know me that well because, I'm really antisocial (no fault, just the way it is).

Being antisocial has no relevance on whether or not you're intrinsically an interesting person.

So while you're spending "me" time at home...are you sitting in front of the TV eating yourself silly, or composing music/writing poetry/building furniture/blogging/etc. etc.?

I highly doubt that your wife-y would allow that-!

This is inspired by a comment made by Punkmistress on Missfee's thread about "not being with the one you love".

In one of the many discussions/arguments/talks that my "wife" and I have had, she flat-out told me that it was 'pathetic' that my identity was based solely on her and the kids. That I have no outside interests or hobbies.

After the anger subsided, I realized that she is correct. Throwing myself into the role of father/provider 100% has made me a boring individual. Besides Prince.org and sci-fi books there really isn't anything that I dedicated time to for myself personally. It was work, sleep, eat, and dedicate time to the kids.

Now that I'm looking towards bachelorhood again, I find myself struggling to find anything interesting about myself. I like to travel - but it's all been kid-related trips since 1998. I enjoy dining out, but it's all been kid-friendly chain restaurants. I enjoy the movies, but it's been mostly Pixar and Dreamworks for as long as I can remember.

I'm afraid that I've allowed myself to become a very boring individual.

So step 1 is now to find interesting things that I enjoy and pursue them. Such as going into NYC and trying out new restaurants, or catching interesting exhibits at the MOMA, or even as my cousin suggested; start watching Sports just to be able to "talk sports". Hell...I'm even considering Golf and Yoga for Christian's sake.

SO...what about YOU?

Are you an interesting person? What makes you so?

Just the other day in a dress shop, after talking to the proprieter for a bit, she pointed her finger at me and said, "You're an interesting person" I took this as her calling me a "character" and wasn't sure what to think. But I think maybe I am because I do my own thing. Even though I'm near 40 I do my make-up like it's 1983, as I tell my husband , "I'm a showgirl without a show" and dress however I feel. I say whatever I think, no matter what anyone thinks of it and I ask questions that I feel I need an answer to, no matter who it offends. (although I don't wish to offend anyone) I don't think I'm soooooo interesting but I'm happy that I'm not the boring-ass-granola-Jennifer Anniston type, drab grey and dark grey type of person.

Because I don't know how! I guess I'm stupid but it seems difficult to me to post a pic on here!

Not that I think I'm hot by any means, but like I said, I am a showgirl with no show........ haha-

But hey, PurpleJedi- You're not an uninteresting person, your just stuck in a rut! And also, it sounds, like a good dad which is a great thing! Nothing to scoff at! Spending time with your kidds and focusing on them, is a good thing, an un-selfish thing! Your wife has just found a way to turn it around to insult you- bitchy of her

And no you shouldn't watch sports just so you can "talk sports" fuck that. Talk what you want to talk! If your crazy about sports, then yeah, but if your not - well, your a Prince fan so there's that- and Sci Fi is very interesting and probably means your smart as dumbasses rarely can comprehend the sci fi stuff-

The most important thing is, be who you are and do what you like. Don't ever do something because you have to prove that your interesting. I know alot of douchey people who know alot about things they're "suppossed" to know about like art, food, music etc. who are about as interesting as a bowl of corn flakes. And other people who you wouldn't think were interesting that are; like the guy who came to hook up my cable yesterday, he looked like a meth head but he picked up my husbands guitar and played a Johnny Cash tune that almost made me cry , it was played so softly. He had a real touch. And I thought, "Poor guy having to install cable and he's got a real gift" plus, he had some interesting conversation for a cable guy. Anyway, ,I'm rambling...... Good luck

Sorry but you previously posted something about healing people with your hands...

...that automatically puts you in the "interesting" category.

Im pretty ordinary. I work too much to be much more than that.

I believe you. Only an antisocial person would not mind to be antisocial..........

Depends on the type of job you have.

Sales cashier at Wal-Mart?

Sales cashier at the Pink Palace exotic boutique?
