It's a defense mechanism for those of us who realize the fun and interesting parts of our lives are almost over and all we have left is hair loss, flabby skin, and an arsenal of music you'd just be to embarrassed to listen to.
Trust me.... YOU win.. WE lose 
Old people are so cute!  Yes, we are!  ^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^
Being happy doesn't mean that everything is perfect, it means you've decided to look beyond the imperfections... unknown | |

Nina1993 said: I just had to laugh so hard reading through this thread
But seriously, I've asked myself that sort of stuff a lot of times, too. Growing up starting to talk at seven months, knowing how to read and write at three, speaking English more or less fluently before anyone else did, writing stories and everything at a very young age, always getting the lead part for all our elementary school plays, knowing all the European capitals at four, perfecting Grammar and spelling and never making any mistakes - that got old as soon as all my friends caught up. It used to be impressive, now it's just plain out weird if someone DOESN'T know how to spell correctly. I don't know what I want to do with my life when I'm older. I know I have two years of regular school left, but being a senior in my class here in America watching all my friends make their decisions about colleges and everything made me think about what I wanted to go for. I seriously have no idea. I still like writing, but I'm honestly not any better at it than every other person. I still like acting, but I don't have a talent that would make me want to do it professionally. Unlike you, I don't have that overwhelming musical talent. There's nothing I really can do better than anyone else. Venting about it to my friends doesn't help. They always say, "Oh, Nina, you're so intelligent and smart, you'll sure find something you'll love to do." But since I know I'm not really any smarter than any of them it doesn't help. I sure was a smart kid, but now I'm just like any other teenager. There is nothing that makes me stand out, nothing that keeps me the interesting girl you used to see in me. Since the only other thing special about me used to be the way you felt about me. reading this post just makes me glad i am not young anymore  What you don't remember never happened | |

I  George Costanza.... 
As for this talk of being/remaining interesting, just remain true to urself through and through. I find remaining proactive makes life happen and not promoting and selling urself to others. I tend to move out of my comfort zone often cause I discovered long ago peeps that sit back and wait for life to happen wait a very long time, like watching the cars go past. Just take chances, be curious and open-minded, be provocative in conversations with others and dare to be different. Prattling on about urself and showing less interest in others will grow old fast. Be urself, and U will hold people's interest by being remarkable, others will remark upon U, even if U lace everything with a little innuendo....  I couldn't care less if other people think I am interesting or not I know most of our close friends think I'm a bit quirky, but since I'm such a good sport no matter what we have in common or not, and I love to laugh, so I'm usually excellent company  | |

If you don't give a shit then why did you take the time to make a thread about worrying about being interesting? Does not compute. ;p; Erin you crack me up with your posts. Alway have a quick come back. unlucky7 reincarnated | |

this has probably already been said (clicked on this from the "Can the org be 18 and over?" thread in site discussion)
No offense, but "How do you stay interesting?" is the kind of thing that only a 17 year old worries about. The older you get, the less time and energy you'll have to sit around thinking about ways to be interesting. Also, you won't give a damn whether you're interesting or not, if you are the least bit interesting to yourself. Too busy living, working, loving, raising kids, doing laundry, making your bed, and all that other crap. You're either interesting to other people or you aren't and sitting around thinking up ways to be interesting.... is such a shallow and vapid way of thinking/living, when you get older. It's very uninteresting to put effort into being interesting. In the meantime, hopefully you'll have so many "interesting" times and experiences in life that you will be very happy, possibly even YEARN for an average and uninteresting life populated by average uninteresting people.
