Boredom is quite common. Some of us really have a hard time finding something interesting to do with our time, and as a result, we just sit around or wallow in laziness. It's honestly pretty aggravating being bored. What's there to do? Perhaps it happens because we've done everything that easily comes to mind. It's quite the predicament.

What makes you bored? Do you get bored quite often? Thanks for your diligence.

Ultrajeff : I blame computers and technology for boredom. Kids these days are so used to constantly being fed entertainment and I don't think many of you have to work to create your own fun very often. How often do you spend time writing, drawing or coloring, or figuring out new games with a box, a rock, and some string? Instead, it is all "Look at how I have five different systems to play games," and "What can do I do while I'm waiting for load screen?" and "What do you do while you grind levels?" and all that.

But I digress.

What bores me? I get bored, ironically, listening to people complain about things. People who always have negative views on the world, or hate their lives and tell everyone about it, or complain just to have something to do bore me to tears. I never understood the motivation for complaining and telling others you're not good at living life. It's boring, it makes no sense, and if you don't like stuff, start making changes.

I'm struck but the irony again but I'm rolling with it.

I guess maybe doing the same thing over? Chores is one but I rather get it over and done with so I do what I do to get it of the way with. Doing chores isn't the best thing, and is one of the most boring things to do. But, if you don't do the chore the house will start to smell would you want, that to happen when guests come into your house? Also if I just get bored in general I would sleep or waiting for something which makes me bored as well. '-'

Boring is really a Subjective term.. Literally just about anything can be boring to someone.

To me here's what I find boring:
Chores.
Small tasks.
A repetitive game or grind in a game.
No variety in a game.
Some TV shows also bore me too.


I'm sure others have a different list then me, but like I said boring is a subjective term at best.   If I run into these things and get tired of it, I'll stop and do something else.

Pretty much having nothing to do. Which is pretty often lol.

Okay, okay, doing something that doesn't really excite me bores me. Like when I'm making a post that I lost motivation to write halfway through, or a review or guide that I lost interest in. Normally if that happens I stop and don't start again for a few days :/.

Oh yea chores and homework is also super boring and makes me wish I was doing something else. Doesn't matter what, just as long as it's not that XD. 

It doesn't take much for  me to get bored. Though to be fair, I have extremely varying degrees of boredom that can be experienced. 

Just checking out the board, posting, or really doing anything that can keep my attention will keep me from getting bored. Even if I'm only watching a TV show that I can find the slightest bit of interest or entertainment in, then I'm good.

The only time I actually get bored is when I'm forced to sit still with nothing to do but wait. Like Ghost said, it's probably due to having a constant source of stimulation through out my life, though I can at least find ways to entertain myself in most situations outside of that. For example, if I'm in line at the BMV, I'm going to be so bored it's driving me crazy. If I'm sitting at home during the day, and the power goes out (losing access to all electronics), I can easily find something to do to entertain myself until it kicks back on, like reading or just talking with someone. Basically what I'm saying is, as long as I'm not just locked in my own head as my only source of amusement, then I can figure something out to keep myself from getting bored. 

I used to get bored all the time, thankfully I don't anymore but it still happens occasionally. What usually makes me bored is when I get tired of being on technology all day and I don't have anything to do while I'm taking a break from it.

Today I got bored for that reason and I felt drained of my usual level of energy. But after I figured out things I could do that I don't usually do, I got excited again and since then (about 2 hours ago ) I haven't been bored. What I ended up doing was playing cornhole by myself and watching my dog react to it, which probably doesn't sound that fun but it was. After that I decided to go back to what I usually do and because I got that fun break from it, it's much more entertaining.

I get bored when my brain is not stimulated enough. It happens more that I care to admit at work; I was hired as a linguistic reviewer, but all I seem to be doing right now is functional testing for web pages. Not only is it excessively repetitive, but the gibberish behind all computer language technicality is so complex that I feel I am not up to it.

I also get bored when I feel like I am the only one thinking like I do. It happens often in "atheist" meetings where all of them seem to agree that government is the answer to most problems.

Boredom is natural. Everyone becomes bored sometimes, but the question is were I ever bored? Of course. Like I said it is very natural and human, but boredom is something... sad to me honestly. I mean, why get bored when you own billions of things such as a computer a console a TV food...? It is extremely rare for me to get bored, and I always find something to keep me busy with. What makes me bored is no internet and no electricity. During that time I either read mangas or draw.

Things don't make me bored, lack of things make me bored lol. 

Just doing nothing really. Playing all of the games that I've wanted to play, not having anything I want to watch, and not having any friends online that I can talk to are things that are just boring.

I got bored when there's absolutely nothing to do. I have a laptop, i have a phone but it does get boring using them constantly or playing the same game and/or app. The best way for me to counter this boredom is sleep and a bit of drawing 

I invariably get bored when I have too much free time. It's nice for the first few days, but then I run out of stuff to do. Good thing I had a big trip this July......which is over now and again I have nothing to do.

I also get bored by certain personalities. People who can only talk about one or two things bore me like nothing else.

A lot of things make me bored. Tedious repetitive things that I maybe forced to do are pretty boring. Schoolwork, for the most part is pretty boring (there are a few exceptions here and there). Video games with terrible plot lines or video games that are way too easy bore me as well. I also, like X said, get bored by certain people's personalities. People who are way too serious and can't have fun or people who are wayyyyyy too innocent can be boring sometimes. Overall, I just feel bored whenever I'm not doing something or I'm not doing something that interests me. 

School, if there's nothing interesting happening, makes me bored. In particular, my music production class bores me (which is partially why I'm dropping it for another class), and lunch sometimes bores me only because I'm just listening to my lunch pals talking and I never really join in.

Otherwise, I don't see myself getting bored. Lazy? Yes. Sleepy? Very much so. Bored? Not really. Just more sleepy than anything to be honest.

What makes me bored is when I have literally nothing to do but lots of homework and studying for exams. In college, this happens to me very often. The only homework I actually enjoy doing sometimes is computer science because it is like a puzzle game to me. 

I also get bored if I have too much energy but nothing at all to do or vice versa (little to no energy but some fun things to do lol). The "vice versa" also happens to me in college sometimes. I might just finish all of my homework but then I'm already too tired to do anything or even think about it. And by that time, it's probably too late to drink coffee or energy drinks before I stay up all night not being able to sleep. 

Though having too much energy but nothing to do at all rarely happens to me anymore. But it used to happen often when I was a little kid. It was probably because I had very slow internet back then and very little/easy homework. And my parents were too busy to bring me anywhere to have fun so I'm just at home playing all video games I have until I get bored of all of my games.
