I find you interesting. I wouldn't want to hang out with you, but having a person with opinions about life such as your own speak openly about it is interesting.

I think you should join the Army, assuming you are in the right age group. They will certainly take you even if you're not all that fit, and have a poor attitude. They will help you modify both your state of physical fitness and your mental attitude.

I am pretty sure that the military screens for mental health issues and assume that a personality disorder diagnosis might raise some sort of red flag. But it is an interesting idea, that someone with mental health issues going in to the military would come out -- healthier (although I assume that was a joke anyway?)

I don't think that having a personality disorder would keep someone from being in the military.

Well it has certainly been getting a lot of soldiers discharged lately (and then they do not get proper treatment once discharged if it is considered pre-existing).

Lots of people have personality disorders. Those disorders may or may not keep them from being able to handle a job, including a military job.

Lots of people who expose their problems on the Jerry Springer Show are interesting. But I wouldn't want to hang out with them.

What is fulfilling: the talking or the deleting?

True, I wouldn't want to hang out with the people on Jerry Springer either. The point I was trying to make was that even though you consider yourself boring, there are interesting aspects about you. My advice would be: find something that you're passionate about and pursue it. Don't let any perceptions about inherent flaws that you believe yourself to have influence your decision to pursue something. You can improve your communication skills, you can be successful, you can be interesting, you can make lots of friends in real life. The key is believing that you can, and then taking the steps necessary to do so.
