Boredom

Post Reply New Topic

Seriously, I think I must be the most bored on this planet.

I am bored most of the time and in such an intensity that hardly anything manages to breaks through my boredom. I'm a person that needs to be occupied with something, but alas, such is hard to find.

Most thrill and mysteries are a matter of moments until they're solved. I remember boredom to be my most present state of mind since I'm a toddler. Horrible, torturing boredom. All day long.

I live for the new, for riddles, risks, challenges and for plain stupid danger, but it's hard to come by.

Sure, there are a lot of things to try, but most of it will either have you end up in mortal peril or in prison. I'm not mad, I have my priorities and I do not plan to rise my crime rate above 0%. Zero is good, makes me feel special because most normal people have already committed minor crimes.

So what to do?

Go out? I do. It's a momentary release of boredom and often not even that. Find a hobby? I tried hundreds of things in the last 15 years. Go to clubs? Within my limitations of autism, I do that too. They become boring quickly. Find an extreme dangerous, thrilling activity? Like what? Maybe if I were rich.

And then there's the whole matter about finding a job soon... gosh, a job! You got to be kidding me to force me into 1 job for more than 40 years! Or more than a few months for that matter. I see myself going to pieces already.

Am I the only one like this? I'm most curious how other people manage in similar positions as myself. But I have never before met anyone with such an intense, life-long boredom of the world as me.

nah, I'm hardly ever bored. my attention shifts from one thing to another at the speed of light, with no space for boredom.

Whenever one my my kids told me he/she was bored I told him/her to count the hairs on their forearms. Doing so would arouse their interest in numbers.

Seriously though. Boredom is less about not having anything to do and more about not having anything you really want to do. As a kid I always hated those kinds of comments from adults. Tedious chores don't exactly alleviate real boredom.

I totally sympathize. I have a grandmother, and whenever I say I'm bored, she gives me a chore. I think she thinks this will help me repress the feeling of boredom, but it really only makes me avoid asking for help with my boredom.
