Boring vs Interesting People

My friend told me today: 
"Some people are boring and I don’t hang out with them."

I remembered when he said once that people who always talk about what other people do or did are more prone to be boring. Instantly I started analyzing my conversational habits and I actually tell anecdotes which not always concern me.

But he was out with me so there was a chance that I wasn’t boring. And yet, sometimes I feel like I'm struggling a bit to keep some conversations going and there is that threat that any day I’m seeing him I might become boring because there won’t be anything smart to discuss.

Who actually is always interesting? What does it mean? Someone who knows a lot about everything? Or someone who does interesting things, like bungee jumping or going to foreign countries a lot? Ahhh… And who is actually boring?

I asked Teddy (my second half) just to get a broader idea of what type of a person is a boring person. He said:

"Someone who tells obvious things, who repeats only what was said before, brings nothing new to the conversation."

Then I asked about interesting person: 
"You’re interesting" – and he smiled widely to me. "Because you have lots of different things in your head."

And then he pushed play button in YouTube video he was watching just seconds ago and which I made him stop so I could ask him these questions. And though I’m not sure he didn’t tell me this just to have me off his hear I still find it uplifting J.
