Are most people hiding the fact that their lives are mundane?

I was hanging out with a friend during my day off. Nothing too interesting about it. We went to lunch and just sat around and talked. He’s a very friendly guy and great at conversation. So when we were at work, he’s talking about what he did on his day off. He’s adding details that never happened and exaggerating the things that did. Everyone was so interested in what he was saying and laughing. I just sat back and let him do his thing.

If anyone had asked me about my day, it would’ve been the most boring thing they’ve ever heard. Does anyone know how to get good at telling stories or am I too autistic for something like this?
