17 ways to become a more interesting person

17 ways to become a more interesting person

Everyone has the potential to be interesting.
You don't have to be a billionaire, or a CEO, or an astronaut to hold people's attention — you can just be you.

I'm wondering how you are making out, littlemissmartypants. Are things going any better these days? I hope so. Glad to see you still posting.

Still lonely though. Going through two hurricanes alone has been interesting. I've been luckier than most, however. I appreciate your support.

Worth the time, it's not "War and Peace". Dull people like me thank you, I'm not blessed to be interesting like some are, but I'm always interested in finding out about people who are. Others, not so much. But keep it up, sharing is *your* purpose for all of us.

And I find that interesting.
