How do you decide whether your life is interesting?

Asked by wundayatta (58722points) May 7th, 2012

I know for me it’s all social. I make my life interesting because I want people to listen to me because when people listen to me, I get some validation and then I feel like I matter.

It really doesn’t matter what happens in my life. I can make it interesting by telling a good story. If I tell the story well, then I have an interesting life. I could tell it badly, and the same life would be boring.

So it’s up to me to decide. Do I want an interesting life? If I do, then I tell it interesting. If not; if I’m depressed or suicidal or whatever; then it is a worthless life, not worthy of being interesting; not worthy of a story.

I want an interesting life, so I tell it interesting.

How do you decide if your life is interesting? How do you make it interesting?
