Serious question: Am I boring?

I suppose I am. That's why no one listens to me. Have you fallen asleep? Whenever I talk, the subject is changed or I am silenced or no one listens. You're sleeping, aren't you? Sigh...

Update:

Don't polish the apple or bruise it! Maybe you guys can look at my profile and questions, then judge from there

Update 2:

I'm not really very quiet. A lot of my friends say that I talk too much. I like talking about philosophy, art(visual and performance), psychology and sometimes I feel hyper and just say whatever comes into mind like how much I hate square things. Now voters, you decide.

    non-listeners or yawners usually are like you mentioned not listening for reasons that are probably best kept unknown otherwise you could be inviting a headache..

    if you notice also that they (who are they) just remembered they have to be somewhere while you are talking then it's more than likely that they are at a lost for thought on the topic..but then again some people do ramble on and if the person/s you are talking to are yawners then that would come across as boring even if the subject you are talking about is interesting..capiche

    Source(s): tip: choose carefully who you wish to share your knowledge with so you are not framed as boring

    Don't know whether you're boring, maybe a little paranoid...

    You know, a lot of people out there don't have very good social skills. The fact that people don't listen and when you talk they change the subject or nobody listens just means that they don't understand that its nice to give other people a chance to talk. Some people really like to hear the sound of their own voice, its no reflection upon you.

    A little nutty, I'm wide awake and listening.

    That happens to those who are soft spoken. I just be quiet and lose interest in the conversation because people talk over others and wait for their next turn to speak instead of listening. Maybe I'll go read a book.

    Why are you so quiet?? I sometimes hear. No reason - just reading. sigh

    I have several groups of friends, and am interesting because I read. Although that happens to me too. and I'm oldER.

    Every person finds different things boring. But if you complain about feeling boring and being ignored, it'll probably happen.

    Instead of asking whether you're boring, and then automatically doubting the answers you might get, find a way to assure yourself you're not boring. Go on, take up an interesting hobby. If it's interesting to you, there's someone else out there who it's interesting to.

    Also, if people behave that way toward you, it may be that you're not assertive, and have nothing to do with whether they find you 'boring' or not.

    the problem is them, not you. perhaps they have 'attention deficit disorder' or they are naturally dull and under-stimulated in their brains. i know you're frustrated but don't give up. as long as you know what you're talking about... just stick to that; you're honest perception of reality and the things that are true to you. there will be someone who is intelligent enough with an eager desire to understand you. what is it that you want to talk about? everyone that answered you here is obviously interested, whether positively or negatively...

    maybe your subjects are of such an high level that other people feel dont feel comfortable when you bring them up so they change the subject. you're probably just too exciting for the people you socialise with

    it would depend on what subject you're talking about and whether you're inviting people to have input into what you're saying
