Not everyone can be the life of the party, but just not to be the death of it.  Here are four things that Business Insider says can make you seem boring to others...

 

1.  If you never have an opinion or don't take a stance, you can come across as being boring to others.  Having a strong point of view usually makes you more interesting to be around.  But if all you do is regurgitate what other people say or avoid taking a stance on anything, you'll start to come across as boring.

 

2.  Experts say when you have a lot of "cognitive flexibility," it means you can bounce from topic to topic and see things from different perspectives.  People who get good at it tend to have an easier time finding the humor in things. So, this gives you a better sense of humor and you'll seem less boring to others.

 

3.  There's comfort in familiarity, but doing the same thing over and over can make you seem boring.  If you never step out of your routine, you become predictable and people who are too predictable aren't very exciting to hang out with.

 

4.  Avoid having unbalanced conversations, meaning you talk too much or don't talk enough.  Either one can make you seem boring, so try to find a balance where you contribute to the conversation, but don't dominate it.
