How to not be boring?

Stop playing so many video games,

Stop talking about niche nerdy interests that only you care about (at least to non-nerds)

Go do interesting things

Learn to be funnier and develop a sense of humor at life

Stop self identifying as an “intellectual” if you’re doing that, just because you’re book-smart doesn’t mean you need to make it your identity, and it’s cringey. Most self proclaimed intellectuals aren’t.

Stop video games, start doing what your character does on the games.

2 things:

hobbies (something other than gaming)
friends ( if you don't have friends, at least pretend you do).

Try holding a big knife People who brandish large knives are typically not seen as boring nerdy intellectuals.

Perceived implies they can deduce you're a nerd just by looking at you. How do you present yourself clothing wise? Do you have any muscle on you at all?

Go do more things. Go hiking, go try out that new restaurant, read more books, meditate, go to a museum etc.. Find a hobby you like and become passionate about it.

Nothing wrong with being intellectual. Don't let people with no identity rob you of yours.

It says more about them if they perceive being intellectual as boring. The irony is that most people who call you boring are boring themselves but are too arrogant and solipsistic to see it.

Elaborate on the “no matter what I do”. What have you tried to do? If you do cool shit, you won’t be boring.

I don’t think you being smart is a problem honestly. If you were to see me, you wouldn’t think I’m the way I am. Inside, I’m you. Watch this:

Looks:

-bodybuilder

-biker

-tall

-like working on cars. Old cars. Have old cars.

-beard

-earrings

-always look angry

-smoker

-jui jitsu + boxing.

My brain:

-books. So many fucking books. Finance. Psychology. Mindset. Science/biology. Endocrinology. Evolution. I can talk for hours about these things.

-don’t watch TV ever. Only YouTube. Always learning

-business owner. Online. Introvert life

-can have an hour long conversation with a doctor, lawyer, entrepreneur, drug dealer, ex con, all with the same ease, about a plethora of topics.

I said that to say this... I prefer being alone. But I can seduce any beautiful woman I want for the most part. Whether she be the nerdy type or the “I think I’m hot shit” type. I’m also older so that helps I guess. Experience.

I can talk to pretty much anyone about anything and in every conversation I’m the cooler one. Not because i try to be. Just because of my internal state and charisma. Well... me being charismatic only happens if I’m in a good mood, but the internal state is constant. I also argue with people a lot for fun. I challenge their beliefs if I disagree with them.

Work on your internal state. You’re looking outside yourself. You feel inferior. Stop it. The less fucks u give, the more fucks u get.
