I'm probably going to be crucified for this, but I feel like it needs to be said...
Submitting a new topic with "I'm bored. . . anyone want to chat?" or any title that includes the words "bored" and "chat" in the title is lazy.
I feel like anytime I check the Recent Topics page I'm bound to see a post with I'm bored lets chat several times. Anytime I read that I think that person must be in fact boring. Why on earth would anyone want to talk to someone thats boring? Plus I think posting "I'm bored. . . lets chat" is lazy. All that being bored means is that they lack the capacity to keep themselves entertained. I don't mean entertained in the traditional sense of the word, I mean in the broader sense.
It's' hard to get to know anyone from a conversation that goes like this:
HI
-Hello
I'm Bored
-Yeah, me too
Like where do you go from there??
I don't believe in my heart of hearts that anyone thinks of themselves as boring, because no one is boring. We all have a story to tell. We all have interest. Lets talk about them. Lets share with each other. Lets tell each other what we're into and why. Lets grow as a community.
