no because what's perceived as interesting is subjective and varies from person to person.
what is very interesting to me is extremely boring to someone else, and vice versa.
if you want to be interesting to people in a particular niche, find out what they like and respect, and become very good at that.
if you want to be generally interesting to normies, then just make money and the rest will sort itself out.

Get a hobby, and join a social group, like a local Historical Society. The more you learn about the world around you, the more interesting you will be. But don't become autistic about it. A hobby is not a lifestyle.

Psychosis.

Tell people that the ASPCA is trying to intimidate you into giving them money. When you aren't home they break into your house and put ice cubes in your toilet. They do it because it let's you know they are on to you but it doesn't leave evidence because the ice cubes melt. You don't have any photographic proof but you can tell they do it because your toilet water feels colder than normal. They also have field agents that use coded messages to let you know they are doing it. When you confront these agents about their affiliations they deny it and say stuff like "what the fuck are you talking about? I'm just walking my dog. Leave me alone or I'll call the police"

I'm not sure. I feel like there's an objective standard if one is interesting or not. Let's say a person has a passion in a certain art and has focused on improving his understanding or making his craftsmanship. That by itself wouldn't be really interesting to the niche group that's already interested in the art, because what he's doing is just the natural outcome of being interested in something.

For example:

Let's say I'm interested in history and have acquired a vast knowledge about certain events and how they transpired, as well as the politico-cultural backgrounds why they even happened. Wouldn't this be only interesting if I pieced together by myself a theory of what and why and how something happened? Otherwise, I'll just be repeating what I've already read.

"Interesting" is a value of yours that you don't know how to qualify, otherwise you'd be able to generate a plan to develop it.

You can get good at literally anything. Being good at something is at the root of what people find interesting. Just be aware: other people have other interests. Being interesting means you have awareness regarding an interest. Being interesting is only useful for relationship development when interests are shared.

Is there a category of people who you desire to find you interesting? If you're looking to develop an interest for relationship development, identifying they with whom you wish to share interest is key.

I don't profess experience in manufacturing my own interest. I have no interest in it. But in theory this ought to work.

if you want to be interesting to artfags then become a proficient artist
if you want to be interesting to history fags then go get an msc or phd in history
if you want to be interesting to [X] crowd then get good at [X] until your achievements are impressive

Try to figure out a set of books that are 1) more or less correct 2) not annoying/overdone and 3) actually say something useful (stay away from anything Marxist related for this one). Once you've collected this set of books and read them, start writing your own book based on these books. You can then talk about how the writing of the book is going, though as said before you need to at least convincingly pretend to care about what other people think, the same for their interests.

Interesting people are usually interested in other people. You've probably noticed, the most interesting people you meet ask other people questions about their hobbies, where they've travelled etc. They share their hobbies and opinions, but they spend more time letting other people talk than they spend going on about themselves.

As usual I assume someone posted here as a fuckaround joke so I apologize if I’m late.

doesnt matter
when you make money people will pretend you're interesting even if you're not, and through social dynamics this propagates and self-reinforces: once people see that others treat you as interesting, they start thinking you're interesting, so now you really are interesting even though you actually weren't interesting in the beginning.

these three are probably the best answers.

I wrote a longer post adding my own opinions but the save draft thing didn’t save it so I will assume that is the world telling me that’s not the answer. I also don’t want to type anymore. The iPhone is a plague on our society and Steve Jobs is lucky I don’t know where his unmarked grave is because that would be my new favorite reststop.

Y'all're overthinking it. Literally just do stuff. It's really easy to have things to say when you've done stuff. Take a trip, try a new activity, learn a skill. Whatever you wish you could do, just start doing it. Then do something else. Do stuff worth talking about and people will want to talk to you about it.

"Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, 'Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous?' Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It's not just in some of us; it's in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same."

Collect old computers and develop a vast knowledge of them and their software. Argue against "switch to Linux" even though you use it yourself, but don't gatekeep.

Drive nice, well maintained but older cars, do all your own repair work, and don't get into ricer bullshit. Bonus points if you have something cool like a Reliant K.

Have a high IQ but don't show off. Let people discover the fact that you're smarter than most of them all on their own.

Surround yourself with retards so you have whole books worth of horror stories to tell about said retards.

Do not cut off your cock (male) or titties (female) for any reason.

Have a reason for hating trannies other than the mainstream reasons.

Do not live in a metal shed in Mexico. Do not ingest Xanex for any reason.

Develop a hatred for members of a certain class of your race or ethnicity and post about it on Kiwi Farms. Bonus points if you also hate some other class, race, or ethnicity that isn't your people.

Do not pretend to be interesting. People can tell when you're faking and they will not find you interesting.

I see what you're saying, it makes sense, but I can't see myself propagating my meaningless accomplishments. I'm just either too poor at socialising or I can't aggrandise something very mundane.

Things that are mundane to you might not be mundane to other people.

You're probably more interesting than you realize.
