Aburrido with estar means 'bored' (how you feel). With ser it means 'boring' (a personality trait). The distinction is critical: 'Estoy aburrido' = I'm bored; 'Es aburrido' = He's/it's boring.

Common mistake

'Soy aburrido' means 'I am a boring person' — a permanent trait. 'Estoy aburrido' means 'I'm bored right now'.
