So a perfectly lovely person posted a request for cut-tags on long posts, and happened to give an unfortunate example of the kind of thing they scroll past. It's pretty clear they weren't actually aiming at me, because I do in fact cut almost all my posts, but I've got suddenly self-conscious.

I am not especially looking for reassurance here, but if you do want to reassure me, please don't tell me I'm not boring. I am boring at least some of the time, even the best writers are boring to people who don't share their interests or don't like their style. I think what I want to hear is that it's ok to be boring, that it's not better to just shut up and never bother other people.

Miscellaneous. Eclectic. Random. Perhaps markedly literate, or at least suffering from the compulsion to read any text that presents itself, including cereal boxes.
