To ask how to stop being boring?

[Namexchange05]

I feel like I'm boring. Every boyfriend I've had, they will mention something about their ex and it seems like they had specific things about them that made them.. interesting? Even my friends, they all have a certain thing that is special to them. For example my friend loves skateboarding and butterflies. My boyfriend's ex did lifeguarding. Etc.
I feel like I've spent so long just so focused on my looks, my whole childhood and younger teenage years I was ugly, I was fatter than all of my peers and just ugly. Now I am attractive, through obsessing over it for the last year or so, and my ex destroying every ounce of confidence I had, and for ages it was all I could think about, how can I look better. Now I am more confident in my looks, I've sort of gotten over it, and now I'm dating my boyfriend, and I've realised I don't have any specific hobbies or interests. I've always had an unstable self identity, music taste and style is constantly changing. I'm now finding my own personal music taste, discovering what clothes I like to wear etc, but I still dont have any hobbies. I like psychology and animals, especially cats. I like tattoos, I used to do my own and I want to get back into it. My boyfriend was showing me videos of him and his mates years ago doing BMX, I wish I had something like this that I could say I'm good at.
What are your hobbies? What should I start doing?

Hi.
Do what your intuition draws you to.
It's much easier to learn about yourself and the things you enjoy by doing them.
You like being outdoors,with nature? And animals?and art,could you do animal portraits?photography?
But,please,do it for you,not to appear interesting.
The part of your life of trying to make yourself look attractive to others is over,don't repeat it by now trying to be that interesting fun person.
Stop and tell yourself every single day that you are beautiful and absolutely worthy.
Do things just because you want to,because you enjoy them.
Ditch anyone in your life who dares to say anything negative about your appearance or personality or anything else.
I see sunshine and the colour yellow with you,butter cups and wild flowers and happiness.follow your own path,you're going to love it!🌻🌻

Well, you can’t really force hobbies - they are things that you are naturally interested in doing and you enjoy doing unpaid in your free time. If you like animals, you could volunteer at a shelter. Do a psychology GCSE / A-level course at night college if you haven’t got a qualification in it. Draw some tattoos and make an art collection from it. But there’s no point in racking your brains for a hobby to make you seem interesting as it won’t be authentic - do what you’re drawn to.

I have no advice sorry but I’m in a similar situation! Not sure if I’m meant to try all the random hobbies out there until there’s one I like or if there’s anything that’s “my thing”. Following this thread and hopefully someone comes along with answers, I understand how you feel

It still sounds as if you’re coming at this from the wrong angle. You sound like you’ve ticked your looks off your list of ‘necessary dating attributes’, and now realise you’re just a pretty face, and want to have something you’ve been good at for years to make you more appealing to others. You really need to pursue interests because they appeal to you for their own sake, not because you think it will make you look good. What do you want to do, even if takes you years of practice and not being much cop, because you will love it?

Notice your feelings as you go about your life. What makes you feel happy or excited? Follow that.
(You can't notice your feelings if you're always on your phone.)

I'm about to go to sleep so I will reply properly in the morning but thank you everyone

Just be yourself and be happy- who cares about being interesting.

You seem to be very self aware and have quite interesting ways of expressing yourself. Even just acknowledging “unstable self identity” is something I’d never really thought of and has given me something to mull over.

I often find that I’ve got so caught up in things that I’ve forgotten the reason I started in the first place. I’m also really quite envious of people who have a reasonably identifiable talent, like singing or drawing.

I think you sound anything but boring.

Oh and if you haven’t already got a cat then get one. Even two.
