Are you interested, or interesting?
What’s the difference?
Today, in #10 of our countdown of the Top 15 Fixes in English series, we’ll be discussing when to use the -ed and -ing endings! 
To be interested is not the same as being interesting.  The same applies to other English phrases such as bored and boring, or excited and exciting.  Here is a general rule to help you remember the difference:
<ul>
<li>When talking about yourself or your feelings, use the –ed ending.  "I am interested in music."</li>
<li>When talking about others or something outside yourself, use the –ing ending.  "That music is interesting."</li>
</ul>
 
Here are some more examples:
<ul>
<li>"She's excited by travel."</li>
<li>"Travel is exciting."</li>
<li>"They're bored by soccer."</li>
<li>"Soccer is boring."</li>
</ul>
