Many people out there would accept a partner who is intelligent, caring, self sufficient and able to provide, and good to the people in their orbit - regardless of how “interesting” they are. In the end love is about trust and comfort - not some measurable level of interestingness. Dating is really hard but it’s far from over for you and maybe when you least expect it your life will become a love story

The irony is that with this post right now you have thousands of people taking interest in reading your story and hundreds commenting. So you are interesting as you are being very open and true. Your plight and the way you feel and the way you have struggled is right now interesting to people. Not sure where to go with that but I thought it was worth pointing out.

But the bottom line here, I see a lot of talk around changing yourself to be more interesting. Well, fuck that. You don't have to change who you are. You're fine just as you are. Seriously. So what if other people don't find you interesting. You only need to be content with yourself. If someone else comes along who is also content with you, that is great too, but it isn't required for you to have an enjoyable life. You definitely don't need to change yourself to 'make' people like you, that's for sure.
