Is it possible to go from being cute/adorable to just plain blah/boring?

I think it's only possible if the person who thought you were cute/adorable realized that they were unfortunately mistaken. For example, if you did something around them the very first time you met them, but you only did it to impress them and it wasn't part of your everyday life, then they might get the wrong impression on who you are.

I'm referring to just a general impression/persona a person can "give off" almost constantly.

Yeah, especially in a case of clinical depression. Not only might you stop caring about your physical appearance and general grooming, but you can give off a really negative or even 'blah' vibe that will turn people off.

Instant blah. :?

What does 'blah' actually mean? I was under the impression that if something was 'blah', then this was taken to mean that it inspires indifference. Is this right?

I'm using "blah" as plain, boring or uninteresting

I'm curious, why would you want to become 'blah'? Most people would want to go in the other direction.

So people stop calling me "cute" and "adorable" almost all the time.

Really? I thought you found me annoying and I made you feel awkward?

Some people don´t like attracting too much attention from others so instead of being somewhat impressive they try to less cute-interesting-whatever you call it.



I don´t have a problem with being told things like that from time to time when multiple people tell me in a close time range I try to tell them to stop as politely as I can.
