Do you get bored?

[Chris]

I rarely get bored. When I do I find a screenless activity to focus on.

I feel like everyone has gotten bored to some extent. I'm not going to say I never get bored, but usually I have plenty of things to do whether it's something I want to do or not. And usually those things I don't want to do I wouldn't say I'm bored, but definitely not thrilled to do it lol.

Thats a good way to look at it. There are always things I would rather be doing, but I can always find a way to amuse myself somehow in whatever situation. Maybe being bored is considered by some people as doing something they dont want to be doing?

I guess I am trying to understand what boredom really is.

 

[QueenCobra]

Not really. I like writing and drawing, and I always have ideas for things I want to create.

I don't know. When me and my siblings were kids we would have to rake leaves. And we were surrounded by woods. So it took hours. Like 12+ hours on one day. Or shoveling snow took forever since we had a 600 ft driveway. I hated it. I wouldn't say it was boring, but it was tedious and not something fun at all. I can't imagine anyone or many would be jumping for joy to do that lol.

I get bored pretty often. Like even if I have a bunch of things I could do, if I'm not in the mood, I won't do it. So i would either laze around in bed or pickup my switch to play something, or go on my ipad to play something or read something, but sometimes even that too gets boring.

Whenever I'm not working or traveling I tend to get bored at least a few times a week. The only hobbies I do often are gaming and reading, so I'm likely to get bored from them if I'm not working that day.

 

[Snek]

Not really. I get more burnt out than bored.

 

[Mokuren]

Oh yes sometimes I am bored but than I think to myself what a blessing I am bored. I am in a position where I am not stressed from my job or private life.

 

[Snowesque]

I'd say not really. If I ever find I don't know what to do, I'll usually just clean.

 

[BakaRina]

I hate that I've been feeling bored more usually than not. but it is what it is.

I'm not surprised by an answer often, but well said!

 

[Captain Jigglypuff]

I usually get bored if I stay home too long at which point I will just get up and leave for a bit just to get out.

 

[Tude]

I get bored sometimes when I'm doing something repetitive at work.

 

[Dim]

At work yeah all the time, because it's the same mindless thing over and over. At home I'm the opposite, unless I'm really tired. I just waste too much time with getting distracted on my phone (like I am now) or just having too many thoughts. I never seem to have enough time when I'm home.

I've been on a couple of medications that have made me beyond bored 24/7 though. Apathetic, basically. Like, nothing ever interested me, even the stuff I loved doing. Got all my stuff done and time was like so slow moving. I just wanted my day to end every night. It drove me insane and it's one of my most hated side effects from medication to this day. Much happier without them. Sure, I have my breakdowns every now and then but I like to live my life and be happy. Luckily I finally found a medication that's both effective and comfortable for me. I usually just draw if I am feeling depressed or overwhelmed now. I find myself to be a passionate person deep down and proud of it.

Feel free to DM me about this, the medication and all. I know EXACTLY how you feel. It would be nice to discuss this with someone who understands

If you dont want to get that personal, I totally understand though!

i do get bored sometimes. i usually can get invested in something for a while but sometimes I'm SO bored that it makes me feel restless and there's pretty much nothing that can settle the boredom for awhile. sometimes I'm so bored i just eat because i can't find anything else i want to do.

i also sometimes get bored if i really want to do something but i can't at the moment and I have to wait
