Men, how do I become an interesting person again?
While waiting on a to-go order of nachos a half hour ago yesterday evening, a girl walked in with a group of friends.
She walked over to say hi to a couple of people at the table next to me and my attention was drawn to her in pretty profound way. She had an energy around her, a sense of excitement and confidence that made it feel like she had lived a rich, compelling life and it had rendered her inexorably an interesting person.
It made recall that not too long, I could radiate the same kind of people-drawing sense of promise and unguarded ambition. Now, on the wrong end of my 20s and having settled into a routine that robs me of imagination on a daily basis, I'm wondering how to get back. I've squandered opportunities and sometimes walked away from potential forks in the road out of fear or disinterest. By and large, I played it safe and it has made me into a pleasant, well-spoken, knowledgeable person with very little significant life experience.
I suppose what it all comes to down is a question - do you ever feel like me? Or if you used to, what did you do to remedy the situation? And does it ever seem that truly compelling people seem to exist in a universe entirely independent of your own?
Edit: It's very heartening to see such a robust response. I debated putting this post up because I was a little afraid of displaying vulnerability but the replies here have definitely given me a major boost.
Edit2: Thank you anonymous Person!

(31 / M-F / Maryland)@Sparky: It is easy to feel that way at times about yourself. I'm sure not everyone you know views you in the same light! I find that one of the most drawing things to a woman is her desire to live life and her pursuit of what she is passionate about!

Girl, take your pants off, sing a song and dance when you get home. Pretend like you're on your own reality show. Throw a bath bomb in the tub and look up recipes you want to try.
I do all that and I create my own energy. I'm not a thrill seeker, but I refuse to become one dimensional.
