Basic necessities...
I tire of life; of the 4 hours of staying awake at night, lying in bed waiting for sleep to come. I don't like to sleep. I don't even like to eat for the most part. Mealtimes are when I am my most grumpy, for when my taste buds must be bothered at all they shove all my senses into a tizzy. It is as though I eat because of an addiction to food; getting the "high" it does not give me pleasure, but rather just relieves me of a craving affliction in my stomache. (I mean, okay, I like dessert, but apart from that....) And I always have to spend a while trying to figure out what I'm going to eat because there are so few things I can tollerate putting in my mouth. I'm such a horribly picky eater.
I don't like to sleep; I don't like to eat; I sure as hell don't like going to the bathroom; I find showering tideous and uncomfortable as hell; and I am not promiscuous, so that takes sex out of the equation altogether. The closest thing I've ever had to that is masturbation, and even that's practically a chore these days. But isn't that the whole circle of life? Eat, sleep, piss, s**t, shower [and for some people sex]. Basic necessities and I find them all so tideous. I have for quite some time now.
And I really don't know what to do about any of it. Any suggestions?

Yeah I been having extreme boredom lately. I found this link :

Anyway what I learned is any intelligent person might get bore with doing the smae old things day after day.
The only thing I really saw usefull is it mention stay physically active with some kinda of
motor activity. Its hard to be bored while physically active.
I'm about to take my dogs on a walk to. Thats got to bit a pain for me beacuse they are big and are pulling me at an uncomfortable rate so maybe I will walk a much different path this time to confuse us all.

Well just made it back about 10 minutes ago. We had a change of pace. We went to this industrial site by the railroad tracks , a train came and my big dog became terrorfied. We saw a cop spot lighting a building near us looking for criminals. He either did not see us or care.
We then searched in vain for a water source. On the final trip home on
a dark road. the big dog grabbed something and began shaking it. Its to dark to ID at first. I kept pulling hard the cable (I assumed it was a dead animal) finalily he drops it. I then chain the dogs(3 dogs) to a road sign. I go back an it was a dead racoon. It was still flexible. I though it into the woods. I'm hoping it was allready dead when we came upon it. but regardless he had not been dead long. I'm getting daily reminders of the death and misery in this wprld and the part I'm playing in it all. Like my mom set down these glue trap for mice. I have bad memory of seeing live rats/mice on glue traps being thrown in the dumpster at my jobsite. Seems inhuman. So i set a mechanically trap which clearly kill him instantly.

Good point; I'm not sure I do either. I just included it in the poll because I'd brought it up in the opening post. Honestly it's not even something I'm that keen on doing. That said, masturbation is supposed to be healthy.
Anyway, the problem isn't being bored with everyday life so much as having a great dislike of doing things that, well, are basically necessary for one's biology.
I voted "all of the above", sometimes there are exceptions but generally it's all such a hassle to maintain the body's functioning. Fueling up, emptying out, washing off, resting & running around are unappealing rote tasks that I dislike experiencing. Bodily processes gross me out, which adds to my constantly aggravated state. It's annoying bc. no matter how much you do at once, you still have to do it all over again each day. I'd rather spend my time/effort/life thinking & reading.

Yeah, I loathe shaving, too. When I have a week off work, I usually don't shave at all, and often consider keeping the beard growth. I always chicken out, though, since the last time I had a beard (a goatee - which made me look like a Peruvian drug smuggler, apparently), I ebetually decided I looked a bit of a prune, and shaved it off. Maintaining it was a pain, too.
Whether or not I'd look better with a full beard, I don't know. But: if Chuck Norris can wear a beard with pride, then so could I. I suppose.
