Provided you are willing to explain why you find their conversation boring, this is helpful.

There were a few articles here on the limited introspection humans in general have. I assume they have less so for others and also are not necessarily able to express their reasons well enough to be understood.

My guess is that Aspergers (or generally people with internalized nonstandard interaction modes) have the best chance to get useful information from people who are also off, but less so.

Questioning a person about why they feel a certain way about you is weird in its own regard. And there is no safe way to communicate about communication.
