Not very often. There's always something to do or something to think about. My mind is always active with something I'm mulling over, thinking about, remembering or figuring out, looking at, etc. even if there is nothing to actually do or engage with. I can be sitting still, staring at a wall and still feel "busy" inside my head, lol.

Exactly the same with me.

I think this is one reason I would like to live as long as possible, dying is such a waste when there's all these things I'd like to do and figure out.

Exactly the same for me.


I'm only bored when I have to do things that are uninteresting (unless it's done very quickly). When I have to do boring things, I get so bored I feel physically ill.

Pretty much every time I sit still and don't do anything. Or I have to do something that I absolutely hate but it needs to be done, like washing dishes or taking out the garbage. Doing chores only *increases* my boredom, so don't tell me to go do them if I'm bored.

I find myself not feeling any desire to do things. Sometimes I feel joy from certain activities, other times I don't. At the same time I feel restless, bored and/or some kind of emotional discomfort like anxiety or emotional pain. I think loneliness have a factor in this, and a lack of meaning in general.

Every single day.

Having very little to do now isn't as fun as I thought it'd be. Normally I'll just stick on a Simpsons or South Park DVD and play Minecraft or Splatoon or draw. I need to entertain myself somehow.

lately a lot. i am bored as a default.

but i do not like a lot of excitement. excitement could be good or bad. good, like fun. bad, like getting raped.

boredom has a negative connotation. but boredom could also be obsessive compulsive disorder. which i feel magnetically drawn to.

i am bored a lot. unless i am surfing the internet, i am usually bored. when someone is bothering me, i do not feel bored. but i would rather feel bored than get bothered by someone.

there are many things better than feeling bored. there are many things worse than feeling bored.

i am bored a lot.

i am boring.

not only am i boring, but i am boring myself.

but to be honest i do not like a lot of things. i do not like a lot of precious lil "people". socially or romantically. the ones that i do like, i do not personally know.

almost everyone that i have ever interacted with for significant time (and others that i have not interacted with that much) totally get on my nerves. yes, that includes myself.

but much of life has to be boredom.

chopping wood and carrying water.

some precious lil "people" act like they are so fun, exciting, important, awesome, cool, funny, wise, smart, and morally innocent. they make me wanna puke.

then again there is nothing great about me. there are numerous things bad about me. i ain't got no job, job skills, or precious lil "friends". i hold intense long term grudges. i get lazy and apathetic a lot.

:D

I'm bored a good bit of the time these days. I'm done with school and unemployed, I don't have much to occupy my time.

Dragons and demons

Just like you. Likewise I am unemployed

Done with school

School was boring at times. Structural engineering.

But it can't be exciting or fun all the time

Work was boring at times

Typing letters a-z. Number 0 to 9

40 hours a week

No variety

No meaning

The most "exciting" thing that could have happened was someone could rape me, a tsunami, earthquake. The most "exciting" part was when the condescending lil boss had the nerve to tell me "today is your last day"



:D

Spending time with my girlfriend which I do a lot of the time. I also like watching TV, listening to music, doing stuff on the web like checking this place, playing video-games sometimes, going for walks when the weather is nice & I'm not busy & feel up to it, & spending time with the pets. I do feel bored & not that interested in that stuff sometimes thou.
