How often do you say the word “interesting” in conversation? My friend remarked last night that it’s a vague filler word, and he’s right. I use it that way far too often. It’s sort of like how startups call themselves a “platform.” Doesn’t mean anything.

Too often, I used to use use "um" and "uh" a lot, but found myself replacing those with "awesome" or "interesting" 😩

When you say interesting it probably means you are the opposite of interested

I do use it. But thinking more about it, i don’t use it for filler, I actually use it only when someone gives me an insight or angle I haven’t thought about. I wish I said it more often.

I use it pretty often, and I do mean that it's interesting, as in something that would merit thought and attention, but I don't necessarily have a well formed thought to add.

Too often but usually as a response when someone makes a statement / asks a question to give me time to process.

I try to use few times since I’ve noticed people use it too much, similarly to “exciting”. Maybe it’s an American thing.

I’ve noticed it being used far too much by others as well as myself. tbh I use it mostly when I’m trying to sound polite but I’m not really interested in what they are saying, usually when you’ve been cornered by someone when you just want to be left alone 😅
