I'm pretty much in the same boat, I wish I could become interesting or develop myself a bit more so that I can better interact with others but the process of doing that is where I always get stuck. I can't really think of much about me that remains for people to like. It seems difficult to stand out in some way other than that person who sucks at everything.
Why does everyone need to 'stand out' and why does everyone need to be that 'unique little snowflake' all the time? Everyone really is unique, whether you know it or not, but I don't see why so much emphasis is always put on this.
Sometimes the best thing you can be for someone else is just someone there to 'listen' and talk to. You don't need any special skills or anything to do that. You just need to be there, be open, and be understanding.
That's all many people want and need. They don't need someone with remarkable abilities to do that for them, they just need 'someone' who is willing to understand and accept them.
It applies to friends, significant others, and etc. You can even apply it to the workplace, too, if you want.
Maybe it's you who isn't happy just being there for someone else? And if that's the case, the solution to that is very simple: Just do something about it.
It doesn't really matter what you do, exactly, so long as it's something you want to do. Though, if you have yet to realize what it is you want, that might be a little harder to figure out.
