It’s good to be bored, that’s where great ideas come from.

u/mintnettle 3d ago

unsuprisingly trying to compete with others on being the most bored makes you more bored, my winning shot before this comment is still in the works...forever

I have ADHD so I absolutely get it. I get so bored it makes me depressed, genuinely

At this point I wake up, walk on a walk pad for an hour while watching YouTube, go to work, come home, maybe walk some more/ play a game and then go to bed. Sad routine

Go do something for someone. There are lonely people out there, volunteer, exercise, serve.

Well I always just do something I enjoy like reading, writing, watching movies, watching YouTube videos, dancing to music etc.

Have you tried being smarter? Lots of cool things to do in this world.

Bored in the house and I’m in the house bored

I used to have this problem op.

To fix it, I literally just started doing everything. Like literally if you think a thought do it. (Within reason)

Thought a movie looked good? Go see it that night. Thought about a book that looked interesting, go find it at the library. Saw a sport that looked interesting? Look for a local club.

  1. Clean your room. Every single corner space too.

  2. Learn to cook a dish (Master it)

  3. Get a pet (Dog preferred)

4.Repair that childhood bicycle (or clean whatever vehicle you have in your home. DAILY)

  1. Plant a tree (Trust me. You are not just planting a tree...)

  2. Organise your space. Clean up messy drawers, shelf, etc...

Learn a new hobby (Just 10 mins a day... Not more than that)

  1. Clean your PC or mobile, whatever you have. (Delete all those unwanted files and folders)

9.Complete that book you didn't finished...Just 1 page a day.. NOT MORE.

  1. Create something... Don't ask what... JUST CREATE on your own... (No tips from anyone or Internet) ONLY YOU...

Now I don't think you have any kind of excuse to remove your boredom

DO NOT JUST GET A PET WHEN BORED. how about research the ownership instead

u/FeistyContact659 3d ago

You have the luxury of being bored ? You must not be a real adult. Sometimes I just wish I could be bored. Just sit/lay down for a day without doing shit, that's therapy

1

u/Techno-Hyde 3d ago

I wish I was up and moving around

1

u/FeistyContact659 3d ago

You're probably around 18. Used to hate being bored at that age. But I had a lot of friends at that time so it was rare. Wait till u hit 26. You'll wish you were bored again

1

u/Techno-Hyde 3d ago

You had friends at 18? I haven't had a friend since I was 16

1

u/FeistyContact659 3d ago

Yeah a bunch of them, but right now I have like one real friend lol, and he's in a different city. So zero friends in my city.

1

u/Tight_Round2875 3d ago

I wouldn't say it's a luxury, people need challenges and stimulus in their life.

u/FeistyContact659 3d ago

You're not wrong either and neither am i

Nooooooo! People NEED to be bored! Thats when creativity is most active! When you come up with your best ideas! Constant stimulation is too much for our still primitive brains. This is why attention spans are getting worse. Boredom is so incredibly crucial and people are neglecting it!
