[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]yeah, I have a friend who is nice enough but she is so incredibly boring that anytime we get together I feel like I'm carrying the conversation 100% and have to be the one to constantly come up with the next topic for discussion. It's exhausting and decidedly not fun at all. She's pleasant, she's kind, she's the mom of boy who is one of my middle schooler's best buddies. So the best I can do is decline most because frankly, I only keep the acquaintance because of the boys, so a couple visits a year is all I can take. Might be the same dynamic with OP.[/quote]

It's OP here. In one of my previous posts I mentioned that I am interested in a wide range of topics and not just 1 or 2. I don't bore people with niche interests, or talk relentlessly about something that grows at the bottom of the ocean ...

I know my friends' interests and my interests don't always align. She's into opera and classical music. I'm not (well I do appreciate classical music but not to the extent that she does; she's passionate about it). I'm into modern architecture, I don't think she is. But one thing we have in common is that we're both interested in our local community so that could be a topic of conversation.
Sadly I don't think it's enough for her to build a friendship upon.

I’m sorry OP. For whatever reason, she doesn’t want to be friends. The reason doesn’t really matter… sometimes we just don’t click with people who are perfectly nice, and that’s ok. Move on and focus your energy elsewhere. Best of luck! I know making friends as an adult is hard but she’s not your person. [/quote]
