Boring People of this Earth

This topic was created in the Scorpio forum by ScorpioLaday on Friday, April 26, 2013 and has 41 replies.
So I noticed that most of these boards are mostly concerned with love/relationships
and not to sound like an asshole but YAWNN ::boring::
now that I'm off of that tangent.
Fellow Scorps, am I going through a crisis or are most people on this earth super boring?
like i just overheard people talking to each other for 5 whole minutes about how much they love their dog.
It seems like I can't relate to people unless I watched the latest episode of the Voice or Breaking Bad or have stupid conversations about the weather/animals/celebrities.
Which is why when I do find someone interesting that mentions books I've never heard of, moon phases, philosophy, new art, upcoming music events, etc. I grasp onto them for dear life.
is this why people think we are so "intense" because it is such a big deal when we find another person interesting?
Is it a good thing that some people are boring? are they just boring from my perspective, or do they bore themselves?

I've noticed that boring people seem to be the happiest people.

Because there is no drama involved, that usually makes for much happier and satisfied people, less chances of poison polluting whatever interactions they are having with others.

Well it is a fine line to walk, to be a risk taker without being completely reckless, sometimes one does not need half the drama one attracts...

Seriously, if half the individuals take us as we are without prejudice or preconceived notions, they will find that we are more often than not, very pleasant.

Do you see intense and passionate mutually exclusive or...?

It's probably because a good majority of people are just dumb. And dumb is boring.



Overtly intelligent stuck up snobs who are anal retentive are also boring too...two sides of the same coin?

But there are far fewer of those. And they ate usually too busy enjoying the smell of their own farts to bother with social interaction.

hmm..it's not necessarily the demeanor, it's more that it's likely the scorpio will be extremely misguided about something. being both passionate and fixed draws more attention.

I don't understand that question.

and then when they spend some quality time with me....
they are like....HOLY SHIT!!!!!!!!!!!!!! mmmmmmmmmm, THANKS BUT NO THANKS!!!!!!

Sometimes I get that reaction, more often than not I get the exact opposite of yours.
When they figure out the intensely passionate volcano underneath, only other water signs go 'meh and then some might even go, meh you want to challenge me on who is moreeeeee intense and emotional?'...others elements go *&^% $ #% ^& $ #% ^&!!!!!!!!

well, i'll use these board as an example..i could mention names but that that would be too easy Tongue. look at any of topics of substance (race, religion, gender, politics/conspiracy theories, world events etc.) there's always a scorpio (some likable and some not) front and center arguing the most idiotic, short sighted point and won't get off it to the point where credibility is lost..and then ego/pride and not losing become the most important thing. I luv scorpios and it doesn't bother me (the ppl who sit back and want everyone to like them bother me more)but it does test ppl's patience.
click to expand


That has nothing to do with Scorpio, just a lack of maturity, to know when to walk away and to know which battles to choose but then again I do agree with the ego/pride comment, when we do not keep it in check, it does a nasty job of blinding us from seeing what is placed in front of us, be it in thoughts or emotions. Otherwise if we are self aware enough and self correcting enough, we usually hit the mark and tame this side of us, allowing a better balance to our somewhat 'intense' nature, which allows us to become more objective towards others, POV and the world. So it really depends.

oh come on, this is a message board. do you guys really take those topics that seriously?
isn't this a place where you can talk your opinion til your blue in the face with no consequence?
it's not like I do that in real life. this is a place to let all that extra energy loose and if it happens to be a topic that gets me riled up and I hold my opinion with a clenched fist.....the more fun I have with it.


I see the Aries Moon and Sag Merc, loud and clear there Tongue

ppl have been dumbed down to the point of being incurious..they don't think they are because they feel they have more choices than ever (what cellphone to get, what to buy, the internet, your examples of weather, animals, celebrities). then they wallow in what they see as 'comfort.' i think it's actually the opposite of what wynter said..although they may believe they are happy...the only way this can be achieved on a surface level is to maintain the illusion.


^^ you say it best .
I guess I shouldn't have introduce the intense word, because that's what is always talked about with Scorpios. But I must say, the most active interesting people who have intriguing real life stories to share are fellow Scorpios.
Hate to sound egotistical, but we are some amazing creatures. The thing that equals us out with everyone else is many of us are shy/quiet so a lot of our talents/unique thinking are hardly exposed... unless we have lots of success driven sign influence in our charts (cap/leo ?)

We exists as the undercurrent, the forbidden, the unknown, the depth, the underground as ruled by Pluto but our amazing life stories come from our other dual ruler of Mars, which usually gives our ego the spirit to fight and preserver often through the worst, often much worse overall than our other fellow water signs. Yet despite all this we all wall flowers, existing behind the scenes, class and elegance without begin 'in your face', we only need the limelight and not the spotlight, we are happy existing there in the semi darkness or the deepest trenches of the oceans is our home.

Not necessarily. There is no risk in remaining inside a comfort zone. Be it being boring, or being "out of the box". People can get adjusted to both and stop pushing themselves either way.

True but one must continually attempt to expands ones comfort zone, to push ones own boundaries to see how far one could go whilst in their own self-contained box, in such a way it is 'risk-taking' because pushing boundaries means venture a little further out into the unknown.

Using "but" as a conjuction in that sentiment threw me off guard, since it seems like I couldn't agree more.

How often do people do this really--namely Scorpios? We like to push other people outside of their comfort zone for our own pleasure or to suit our needs, but how often do we do we actually do this? We talk about it a lot....

How so? Not trying to pry, but I am genuinely curious. When was the last time you pushed yourself to do something so unlike your character in an effort to step outside of your comfort zone? I will apologize once for typos. Walking, talking and typing don't always work for me.

About a week ago, I had a choice to stay within what I had known and could predict well enough with my instincts or to put that all aside, to act first and see if the consequences would match up or not, or rather to see if it would 'kill' a part of me for the better. Eventually pushed the boundaries, did not turn out as I had fully expected but definitely no regrets, my boundaries expanded far more emotionally than what I thought I was capable of, emotionally wisened I should say.

I personally need to do this a lot more. I've been inspired to start today actually.
details
Do try it, it feels great afterwards, just go in with the attitude of 'to hell with it all', nakedness doesn't kill neither does vulnerability, once we learn to take that weapon of inner self destruction and to turn it into one of strength, then we can wield it gladly and proudly, no harm can be done, another Pheonix rising out from the ashes, reborn smile
details
It does feel great to test life's limits. Most of the times I do things or go places because it will be a new experience.
Like making friends with strangers, going to new places alone, agreeing to go to a party where I don't know anyone, turning back around to flirt with a cute sales guy and get his phone number.
There are some irresponsible things I've done when life gets mundane (... lucky to be alive!)
it is also hard to me to do 'social' things sometimes but i force myself.

I feel that boring is as beautiful is on the eye of the beholder. I don't believe it is any other person's responsibility to entertain me. If I think something is boring then its my issues to make it more exiting for me not the others. Then they can join me or not. Pushing beyond the boundaries is healthy but I also understand not everyone is like me. Does that mean I don't enjoy their company if I'm there I do if not I don't. Yeah I have a bucket but my transformation to push myself was after facing death. So I can't judge others path. The biggest lesson was to never put my happiness, adventure excitement on another. I find people who complain he is boring ... I say then you make it exiting who knows he may follow.


I see what you're saying, but it isn't a matter of being bored so much as it is a matter of people not knowing how to have a conversation about other things besides what's in the media or what's 'cool.' Cable television and not enough real life adventure are deteriorating the spirit in people.. kinda makes me sad.
details
You're right ...I am not at the level of chatting with strangers at a bar yet! .. not gonna lie kind of afraid. I guess sometimes I want entertainment from others because it can almost feel (hate to say it) lonely when I entertain myself most of the time... although I'm having a good time.

The boring is strong lately. I honestly wish I had the ability to care about stuff that most people care for and that I could make small talk, but alas I cannot. I find it boring and a waste of time. Sad


It IS boring.
But sometimes, it doesn't remain "small talk"-- I've had some really interesting conversations with people that started as (what seemed like unavoidable) "small talk".

I'm not a scorpio but I agree 100% . It seems like people turn to astrology when they can't find any explanation for their failed relationships.It's so sickening to see all these women complain about how this sign did that to them and how they hate this particular sign because they broke up.Give me a break ! What can I say... people (women) are passionate and obsessed about love.The only worth of women nowadays is just based on how much love (or rather attention) she can get from a male .
I do love randomness though . I'm pretty sure you can learn a lot from talking about any topic be it dogs ,computers, books, food, sport etc. you just need to find the right person to make that "intellectual connection" .



details
I can definitely relate to you. I've found that regular, common conversations begin to bore and wear me out. Probably because most things like ruined relationships, celebrities, gossip, "the weather", and other trivial issues just don't appeal to me. I never think about them, I think mostly about why things are the way they are in the world- or simply soak in everything around me and stop questioning all together. People would probably describe myself, and other Scorpio's as quiet people, private, reserved, but the real reason a lot of us don't say much is because we find it exhausting to discuss something unless it's worth being discussed.

I like solitude because of this reason, the constant chatter and debates about things that will never make a difference in the long run. If I'm around too many people at once the sheer volume and amount of these conversations weighs on me until I need to be centered and alone with my thoughts. Constantly I take breaks from these forums because of this quality of my persona. Breaks are needed in order for me to think enough to come to understanding- at which point I'll have many things to say and I'll be passionate about them.
Trivial things, material items, and small talk drains our passion which is our most vital fuel in life.
details
Interesting conversations? I miss those. I used to have them with a Scorpio girl - we liked each other, so we simply couldn't stop, scrutinizing our mutual interests for long hours.
However, with other people, I keep to myself. Conviction is often met disapproval, and I don't notice this because I am very engrossed in the subject. I wouldn't hold it against them, though. Different people, different ways.
