I don't think you understand people. No one sets out to be those things. Life may force us to curb our passions, but that's hardly accepting it. The only place those labels are coming from is you.

No one sets out to be it but they can and do accept it if it happens. There are boring and mediocre people in this world; myself included. And yes, many of us are aware of it and did not enough to fix it.

Not my experience at all.

WHO CARES, though? There are far worse things someone can be than "boring" and "mediocre".

For you.

For some people, having lead a boring and mediocre life is worse than death.

Why? You clearly feel this way are you able to tell us why?

DA

Ok, so you acknowledge that is true for some people and not true for others. Yet you want to make it a cardinal sin for EVERYONE. Why?

Do you want people to be unhappy because you are unhappy?

And those people are pretentious, and quite often incredibly dull and mediocre.

My thoughts exactly.

I used to think I was going to be "great" and that it would be the worst thing to be average. Then life kicked the crap out of me, I got diagnosed with several mental illnesses, and by the time the government accepted my application for disability, the fact that I'd gotten on disability was not a negative but a cause for tears of happy relief.

The "worst thing" is not being average or boring. It's being unrelentingly miserable; it's being well and truly powerless; it's falling through the cracks.

And, of course, from an outside perspective, the "worst thing" is being a person who is cruel and causes harm and damage to others.

AYRT

Yeah, exactly. I know people hate this word, but thinking that being "boring" is the worst thing in the world is sort of privileged IMO.

NAYRT I do hate that word, but in this case it's bang on the money.

This. I know my life is boring as shit, and I can think of some fun, exciting things I'd like to do, but my options are pretty limited right because, well, 1) pandemic, and 2) lack of money.

Even then, though, I'm still okay with my life on a personal level, even if it's not exciting. It works for me.

Besides that, honestly, I would KILL to have the world in general be "boring" right now. I'm fucking exhausted, we need a damn break.

AYRT I completely and 100% agree. The OP has some skewed priorities.
