I like to go to the gym and between set I like to talk with people and every time I am the person who has to initiate conversations with others. I really want to become more interesting so that I’m not the person to always have to go to others to talk. I want them to come to me too.
​
How do I become more interesting so that I don’t have to be the person to always have to start the conversation?

You’d have to differentiate between being an interesting person and looking interesting. I consider myself an interesting person, but I never get approached because I don’t look that interesting on the outside.
If you want to grab people’s attention, then do something about your appearance that people can comment on. Get a unique hairstyle, wear a really cool shirt, etc.
Add some enthusiasm to what you say.
Most people go to the gym not to socialize thats why you are having to initiate conversations. Not the place dude.
Don’t talk to people at the gym, find another hobby to socialize where people meet up and have the same objective. It could be a team sport, a social meetup group for mingling, a Facebook group in your city, etc.
Try to limit talking to people at the gym. People will be polite but the rule is people go to work out not socialize. To be interesting Is to be interested. Take up a hobby that needs classes. Join an activity like hiking or biking. Volunteer at places that intereste you. Join a book club.
