You're wrong. There are no boring hills, there are just hills you find boring. There are plenty others who will find things that fill them up with happiness and interest on all of them, even if you can't see it.
Personally I find the "only boring people" argument a bit too simplistic. Strictly speaking, yes, boredom is the mind of the beholder, and not an intrinsic property of the hill. Nonetheless, statistically speaking, some hills are more likely to induce the sensation of boredom or dissatisfaction in a sample of beholders than others. Some people will be more prone to such sensations than others, and this may vary over time. There are also things you can do to reduce the likelihood of such sensations. Anyone who never experiences such sensations when hillwalking is very blessed, but I would suspect is also in a small minority.
A bit of self-compassion is perhaps helpful - don't beat your self up mentally if you experience such sensations. Try to observe them without judgement and see what you can do to avoid them in future.
