Do intelligent/aspie people lead boring lives?

Post Reply New Topic

Maybe this isn't 'aspie' related but I can see where a routine can tend to be boring, especially if that routine is a decade or more in the making.

For example, my parents would send me to church or go to picnics and Disneyland vacations. At the time, I even thought it was kind of silly, but what could it hurt.

Now, as an adult, I don't do any of that. I don't really vacation or go out. I am created a routine for myself that involves, work and eating food. That is pretty much it.

In my mind, I see those things as pointless. The vacation to somewhere for no real reason.

When I ask myself, "Should I go on a 'fun' vacation", usually I end up with, no. But even though it isn't entirely logical to do fun things, maybe we should?

Anyone feel this way?

I'm reluctant to go on vacations, but once there, I'm equally reluctant to come back.

Many people see routines as boring but they're not because they are not meant to be fun or anything like that. They are for functionality.
Is eating boring? Well it's not exciting. Unless you are me and only eat when you are starving.

My life is anything but boring. I don't like to go out a lot. I will allow myself to be dragged to social gatherings or clubs but when I am tired of it I will leave. Sometimes I have a good time.

I think all the mundane things are do are exciting. I'm excited by the movies and documentaries I watch, a good book, my creative writing and drawings. Sometimes going to a store can be exciting!

Vacations could be exciting. It takes a lot for me to agree to go to one. I want to go to the Blue Mountains and down to Victoria to see the Southern Lights. I could probably go to every tourist attraction in the United States.
A lot of things excite me.
