OK, we\u2019re joking. In reality, there\u2019s nothing wrong with being a homebody. Some people just love<\/i> the couch, and they love it way too much to leave. Did you make it to a party on Saturday? No. But we know that you can recommend some wildly entertaining, niche shows on Netflix, so really\u2014who\u2019s the boring one here? Long story short, your answers do indicate that you might enjoy your pet\u2019s company more than your friends\u2019 at times, but at the end of the day, \u201cboring\u201d is subjective. Whether it\u2019s a secret meme account or a novel that\u2019s in the works, we know you\u2019ve got some secretly exciting things brewing\u2026

But if you feel like you\u2019re stagnating, then, baby, we\u2019re here to help! Not sure how to inject some spice into your life? We\u2019ve got a few ideas\u2026

What does it really mean to be an interesting person?

You might think being an interesting person has to do with living an exciting, adventurous, “big” life—the life of a celebrity, or a globe-trotting explorer, or some other third kind of person we can’t think of right now.

But being interesting has far less to do with the types of experiences that happen to you and more to do with your perception of those experiences. Traveling doesn’t make you interesting. Neither does falling in love, or winning an Oscar, or writing a wikiHow quiz (wait… *checks notes*...yup, that’s accurate). It’s what you make of these experiences that determines whether you’re really an interesting person or not. Did you let them change you? Did you let them open a door inside of you?

As Emily Dickinson, one of America’s most interesting and famously reclusive poets, wrote, “The brain is wider than the sky.” The most tragic and boring thing you could do is to live a life of adventure and intrigue but endure it passively, not engaging with your life, not becoming new in your brain and soul. So whether you’ve spent your life washing dishes or winning marathons, ask yourself: Have I greeted every hour with wonder? If not, it’s never too late to start.
