Does craving other people's company make you boring?

It ought to. Your own thoughts should be enough to entertain you. This is my new theory.

Ans. to question - YES. Not only that, but people are SO obvious about it too, the fact that they don't actually like YOU especially - they just want, need, SOMEBODY's company - anybody's. Not only are these types boring, they're usually spineless and emotionally needy as well. High-maintenance people = dud.

Also, ever noticed the similarity to people who need noise all the time? TV at full blast etc. Cliche about fear of the inner vacuum is true here.

God you people are weird. Isn't it a bit narrow minded to assume that you and your brain and thoughts are all there is and other people might not be able to offer something different or stimulating? Get out more! I dunno.

I don't think I'm boring due to wanting to talk to people on a regular basis. On the contrary I feel like I think so much I have grand visions which I need my friends to appreciate. I mean how can we be saying that people who stay on their own all day are more interesting than people who want to interact? This is muddled logic.

Only craving boring people's company.

Your invitation yesterday puts you in that boat Pete

Lyra, that is the stupidest theory I have ever heard and I suggest you get a new one. Try working on the JFK conspiracy or something.

Whoever killed JFK was really interesting because he craved other peoples death in order to enhance his own life, anyone who doesn't kill people isn't really bothered about their own life.

does it come to whether you are a social, or an individual? i am a social being. or something.

What about saying things for the sake of making noise?

― Maria, Tuesday, 4 September 2001 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Don't give up this theory Lyra. I believe it completely, especially if the emphasis is on the word 'craving'. Who needs people who badger you all the time to keep them company, and then when you actually consent to doing so, they spend the whole time on their mobile phones to other people, now that they have their human security blanket. To them, all people are interchangeable.

I'm sure dave q will consider it a compliment when I say that I cannot imagine many people craving his company.

― Emma, Tuesday, 4 September 2001 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Everybody craves other peoples company, if crave does not mean 24/7, which I don't think it does. Why do people look for friendship, love etc? Why do people go out?

― Ronan, Tuesday, 4 September 2001 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Yes.
