Like any person, I have things that are dull.If start with trivial, then for me to wait is like watching paint
dry. Although I play chess, where games can last 5 hours, in general, waiting is boring to tears, well,
probably, like for many. If we move to just subjective things, then this is drawing. It's probably not as
boring as time-consuming. To draw a good drawing, I have to spend a lot of time, and since it's not very
fun, it becomes dull. What about people, there aren't such in my surrounding. It is not so extensive that
there are still boring companions. If we talk about who such an interesting person is, then this is
probably the one who will always have a topic or story for conversation, the one who can break the ice
at the right time with a funny joke, the one who can speak clearly and directly and at the same time
listen.

In general, the concept of boredom is very subjective, and as it said there are no boring things, there are
boring people.
