Bored with life !

Post Reply New Topic

Feeling really down tonight.

I'm totally bored with life. I don't have any friends, I don't fit in well at work. I have no plans and nothing to look forward to. I'm tired of the mundane and I'm too poor to afford a vacation.

Evey day I go through the motions, sleep, eat, work, eat, nap, read, occasionally a movie or two and video games. I have the wife and kids, but their bored with life too. Not much ever changes.

Sometimes I feel there's nothing further to be gained from life. (Even nothing going on at second life tonight either)

anyone else bored?

Yes. Take away the wife and kids and that pretty much sums up my life.

Try and gain ADHD, You're life will be a LOT more fun.

You have kids and you're bored?!? Most people I know with kids would LOVE the time to be bored.

Bored with life? Join the military!

But honestly, anything that can help break the routine of daily life (i.e. vacations, nights out) may very well provide a huge help.

Funny, I was mentally considering posting this topic up myself. It's interesting to see other people feel the same way.

So yeah, I feel the same way.

You can't if your diagnosed with an ASD.



Been there, done that and got the T-shirt.

The problem is that after a while doing something like joining/attending a club becomes part of the routine. I tend to lose interest after passing past a certain level of proficiency and then I just get bored again. I have previously dealt with this by simply taking up something else, however there are obvious finite limits to this approach which I feel I am rapidly reaching since I have done virtually everything I am interested in doing.

Take away wife, kids and work, and you've summed up mine I'm in early retirement and bored as hell.

I think you (the OP) can be glad to have a wife and kids. Most people here are desperately lonely and would give everything to have someone in their life. That's no criticism, just my way of saying "look on the bright side, you could be much worse off" Maybe you should ask your wife what she would like to do and tag along? Get a babysitter for the kids and spend a night out. Have a picnic in a park. Go on a bike tour with your family. Anything that breaks the routine and makes some memories. It doesn't have to be expensive.

The weather where I live is a large part of the problem. Its winter 5 months of the year. This year it was an unbelievably mild winter. Nighttime lows only -19 C. instead of the usual -39. A foot of snow on the ground vs the usual 7-10 feet.

I go from the house to the car, the car to work, work to the car, car to the house; rince and repeat for 5 months. The kids are teenager's. I've got two teenage girls, so no I don't want to leave them unattended for too long, or by this time next year I'll be a grandfather. Its possible to get bored from movies, I seldom watch TV anymore, I like to read but even that has limits.

When I get really, really bored, I'll go out with my wiife to Bingo. Under the B '6', under the O '69', what a waste of time and again, boring before long.

That sounds like seasonal affective disorder a.k.a. winter depression, with a side of cabin fever You could try vitamin D pills and 1-2 hours in front of a full-spectrum phototherapy lamp each day. That does wonders for my mood in the winter.

-19 a mild winter! Where do you live, Siberia?

Winnipeg, Canada;

-19 C is warm. The -35 winters where its too cold to go outside for even a few minutes- they're the ones that are awful!

The summer is awful too. It regularly goes to +39 C, and the city was built on drained swamp land- you can't go outside in the summer either- mosquitoes by the billions.

That's crazy weather, you may be better off living on Mars!

Quote from Wikipedia:

Differing values have been reported for the average temperature on Mars,[15] with a common value being −55 °C (−67 °F).[16] Surface temperatures have been estimated from the Viking Orbiter Infrared Thermal Mapper data; this gives extremes from a warmest of 27 °C (81 °F) to −143 °C (−225 °F) at the winter polar caps.[17] Actual temperature measurements from the Viking landers range from −17.2 °C (1.0 °F) to −107 °C (−161 °F).
It has been reported that "On the basis of the nighttime air temperature data, every northern spring and early northern summer yet observed were identical to within the level of experimental error (to within ±1 K)" but that the "daytime data, however, suggest a somewhat different story, with temperatures varying from year-to-year by up to 6 K in this season.[18] This day-night discrepancy is unexpected and not understood". In southern spring and summer variance is dominated by dust storms, which increase the value of the night low temperature and decrease the daytime peak temperature,[19] resulting in a small (20C) decrease in average surface temperature, and a moderate (30C) increase in upper atmosphere temperature.[20]

I've often thought of moving to Mars! To be one of the first colonists, building the first settlements, walking places no one has ever walked before. Climbing hills no one has ever set foot on.

Alas, there are the minor problems of getting there, not being able to grow food, not having liquid water or breathable air. (Also Mars does have Van Allen belts so moving there would be instant suicide from the radiation).

When i feel extremely bored i just look around my hobbies sometimes i paint, i read tarot, i surf social websites and look at others happy pictures...

Lives in Canada, wants to build settlements, wants to explore...

Scout out a nice spot in the Canadian wilderness, to build a farm. An underground medical cannabis farm.

Build it with your own two hands. Your product will ease world suffering and you'll have expanded your own horizons.
