Do you get bored easily?

Post Reply New Topic

I was just curious. I'm not sure if it's an autism thing, but I was still wondering. I get bored easily by a lot of things. I even get bored of things in my routine. D: Right now, I'm kind of bored of the forums I've been mingling on. >< I don't know what other forums to join, and the one I want to join is still rejecting me.

I can definitely get bored easily.

Yes, I do. It drives me mad! I learn a new skill, get really good at it, then get really bored with it and move on to something new. And that is why I've never got very far with anything in life... I get bored and move on...

Honestly, if I could have stuck with one of my special interests for long enough I'm sure I would be a rich woman by now. Most of my special interests that I became really good and skilled at had the potential to make money. Sigh

I don't seem to have any control over getting bored with things but if anyone has a secret to staying interested in something until you become really successful with it, I'd love to know.

I have thought it could be due to lack of confidence with me. I get very anxious when thinking about sharing my skills with others and often lose interest at that point, thinking my work won't be good enough.

Yes. And for some reason the past week I have very little interest in anything, no drives or obsessions. Kind of nice because then my mind is free to attend to other things, but I have no interest to pull me through the day and motivate me and now I can just lay around all day and stim and stare and look at WP. It's kind of painful feeling. I'm not accustomed to this level of indifference or lack of focus. It's probably from my mind wearing out from anxiety from the changes I am making and I am trying to handle that. Feels like I am 12 again. I hope that once this change finishes I will get back to normal.

It depends on each situation.
I can get bored very easily, especially if it's something that I'm not interested in.

Boredom usually comes upon me when (1) an event is going on that I am not interested in, and (2) obligations, illness, or some other factor prevents me from leaving.

Example: I ran a video camera for a junior-college football game. Neither side was very adept, and football is not something that interests me at all; but the pay was good, and I needed the class credit, so leaving was not an option.

Very easily, some times I get stupid and crazy ideas, makes me believe that loneliness can make you go insane.

Yes I get bored easily. I can even get bored of being in the same mental state for too long.

I do but I have ADD & get kind of burnt-out with things but don't have many interests

Absolutely, but I think it's more of an ADHD thing.

Yes. But I have learned to control it better by not being all annoying about it. Once I realized how it felt for others, I started working on it so I wouldn't be a hypocrite.

I'm pretty sure that I've never experienced boredom.
Can someone explain it? or whatever you're talking about?

Yes, most of the time.

Easily bored? Yes, and yes. And just because I'm used only to certain things, and just because I'm rather comfortable with the same things all over again, doesn't mean I don't get bored or sick of it. XD

But of course, I won't go too far or cross the line just to get rid of my boredom. I don't annoy anyone just for boredom. I don't whine about it unless what I'm being asked to do is not reasonable enough regardless. Nor do anything risky. I'm very aware that 'fun' is a very temporary thing, so I prefer the ones on the long term, not in a spontaneous manner. So best thing I do is entertain myself. When doing nothing but waiting, I could just daydream and alter my time perception to 'faster'.
