On a scale of 1-5, with 5 being the most boring, how boring do you think you are in other people's eyes?

People who don't know me closely, a 4 or 5. I tend to keep to myself and am quiet. Most don't see the "real" me unless they are a close friend.

I'd like to think the people closest to me would say 1 or 2.

a lot of people struggle to talk to people they are supposedly interested in.

This used to be me, I struggled to talk to people. Until I learned to get better at asking questions and listening. Being genuinely interested in people, asking questions, and truly listening to their answers makes it so easy to talk to people.
