hopingtrying has some excellent advise. I don't think you are uninteresting at all. You are very articulate and intelligent as well. There are books you can buy about making small talk to break the ice. I'm an introvert and a good listener so I like the focus on the other person. I am genuinely interested in them and keep the conversation going about them. If you can do this to break that ice to start a conversation going, they will find you interesting. Give yourself a chance though. Try to be a little gentler with yourself and stop the criticism and judgment. You're ok just the way you are. Best wishes
