You also must play with somebody who is not as good as you to increase you confidence and communiation skills.

While that is good advice, it is not necessary to keep your interest going. I have played guitar for 11 years, and I have not ONCE played with anyone else (other than my guitar teachers the first 4 years of playing). I just love guitar and can't see myself stopping, so lack of interest is not a problem for me at all.

What kind of music are you playing right now? Maybe you need to try something more challenging. You may think your good, but you may just be playing easy songs, thinking that they are hard.
