I have recently read a critique of an essay on boredom by Adam Phillips and that raised a few questions about the nature of boredom in our psychology.
Do you often get bored or is it a rare occurrence for you? What brings about the feeling of boredom? How do you experience it (jittery, sad, low energy)?
Is it due to the activity you're engaged in or lack of activity? Is it a sign of dwindling imagination? A paucity in inspiration and creativity?
How do you un-bore yourself? Do you go deeper into a hobby or an interest or do you switch to entertainment and diversions?
What purpose does boredom serve for us, in you opinion? if any what are the relations to socionics types?
