You mean that it's your expressed perception that I am boring, either
because you don't have the same passion for sharing acquired
knowledge, or because you have no immediate need for the knowledge.(1)

I am not a combination of any two "interesting" people who bored you
previously, I am an entirely different person, who is not so different
as to be completely alien.

But, what is boredom?

Boredom is a subjective state of mind that arises out of ignorance of
the bored person's material surroundings.

Suppose you take a drive out onto the prairie, all by yourself.

You look around and you can see grasses and flowers blowing in the
wind, and clouds moving across the sky and you can hear birds singing,
but you cannot name the birds.

Boredom arises out of a person's ignorance of his/her surroundings. A
person cannot relate to that which cannot be named. (2)

You're the only person there, and you can't stand to be alone, so you
jump into your car and you hurry back home so you can be around
people.

Then you can take refuge in the group's ethnocentric concensus of
"reality".
