Boring / Bored Boring - It is used to say that something/someone is not interesting (something is causing boredom). For example: This movie is boring. I thought that book was very boring. I am boring (others think I am a boring person, I am making others bored), my job is very boring, I've got a boring job. 我觉得这个地方很无聊,这个电影很无聊。我不喜欢她因为她有点儿无聊。 Bored - It is used to describe a personal state. For example: I am bored, he is bored, she looks bored, I am bored with my studies. Possibly use '百无聊赖' as a similar example. 比如:我百无聊赖,他看起来百无聊赖 *Can both be used in the past/present tense.

Basically, if you cause the feeling or situation, then use -ing: I'm boring. (ie. Other people don't like my company because I am a dull person.) If you receive or have the feeling, then use -ed: I'm bored. (ie. I am not interested in what's happening; I want to do something else.)
