Some participles (like 'bored' or 'boring') can be used as adjectives. These are
used in a slightly different way from normal adjectives. We usually use the past
participle (ending in -ed) to talk about how someone feels:

I was really bored during the flight (NOT: I was really boring during the flight).
She's interested in history (NOT: She's really interesting in history).
John's frightened of spiders (NOT: John's frightening of spiders).

We usually use the present participle (ending in -ing) to talk about the person,
thing, or situation which has caused the feeling:It was such a long, boring flight
(so I was bored).

I read a really interesting book about history (so I was interested).

Many people find spiders frightening (so they're frightened when they see spiders).
