Boring help: HELP, I do not want to be seen as boring! - Help.com

HELP, I do not want to be seen as boring!

I am a freshman in college, and i’m pretty much the epitome of what it means to be a “goodie 2 shoes”. I’ve never had a sip of alcohol in my life, never done drugs, never used profanities, never gone past kissing, never been in trouble at all, etc. Its almost sickening how good i am lol. My morals just really mean a lot to me.

Anyway, The guy i liked asked me why I don’t drink. I told him I don’t drink because I don’t need to. I told him that I could have fun without alcohol. And he said “I’ve always found people who don’t drink to be boring…”

Now im like, oh snap. I’m boring! So how can I appeal to people my age, and be exciting without going against my morals and values?!

Tell that guy if he is considering donating his liver to science, it’s going to be useless.

You don’t need to drink. People who find you boring or tell you that is because they want to get you drunk to get in your pants. ONce you start drinking and get drunk, your inhibitions go out the window along with your panties and that’s what that guy wants. Tell him to kiss off!!

You’re not boring!

why would you be boring? none of those things dictate whether you have a sense of humour, whether you have interesting opinions, whether you have unusual likes or dislikes, what kind of person you are to be around. none of those things have any impact on whether you are boring or not, for the most part they are just measures that shallow, insecure people use to judge eachother because they don’t have any deeper indicators of personality. that guy who said people who don’t drink are boring was an idiot, and you don’t want to bother with people that shallow. think of it this way, he must be boring because if he wasn’t boring he wouldn’t need to drink to enjoy himself, would you rather be like him or trust that eventually you will meet some people who have a little more depth?

In my oppinion all alchohal does is give people an excuse to do things, if a guy says he finds people who dont drink to be boring, just tell him your diffrent and leave it at that.

it all depends on your perception of being boring, like if one guy sees you as a “boring” person, another might see you as being “responsible” or even “mature”, or “having better things to do then wasting time and valuable brain cells on over-drinking, drugs abuse and chronic partying all the time”
that being said, i reckon there is no harm in having… um… “fun” every once in a while… like, there is time for everything, and believe me, if you ever want to be “unresponsible”, college is exactly the time for it… simply, do it while you can sort to speak
