    Literal, ты мне наскучиваешь. But it's weird expression, more natural are:

    (Мне) скучно!
    Какой ты скучный. (ты такой скучный)
    Какой ты нудный! (ты такой нудный)
    Хватит нудить! (Перестань... / прекрати... / завязывай... )
    Ты вгоняешь меня в скуку (ты наводишь на меня скуку)

    Some others...
    I do not claim that my opinion is absolutely true.
    If you've spotted any mistake in my English, please, correct it. I want to be aware of any mistakes to efficiently eliminate them before they become a habit.

    But Ты нам надоела! -- "You (f.) have become boring to us!" if several people are addressing a tedious woman.

    In short, the verb agrees in number/gender with the person(s) who are tiresome, but the person(s) feeling the boredom is expressed by the dative.

    And it's also common to use the verb impersonally: Мне надоело разговарывать только о футболе. ("I'm bored [it has become tiresome to me] of talking about nothing but football.")

    Good notes, Throbert!

    I guess it was just slip of the pen, but there was an error in "разговарИвать"
