Well, kids are almost never bored, FWIW.

I once read that IEEs have a fear of boredom, and that rings true for me. I myself am almost never bored but that's because i always make sure i'm doing something interesting.

Even if i'm sitting in a boring lecture, if i'm not interested in what the person is talking about or if it's delivered in some really tedious boring way, I'll just switch to trying to observe the people in the room, and now that I sort of know socionics, trying to type them! That makes for HOURS of fun!

Of course, i've been in situations where i've been extremely bored. It's AGONY! I try not to let that happen too much by anticipating situations in which i might get bored and providing myself with some form of alternative entertainment. Having a blackberry helps a lot in those situations too.

I tend to view boredom as the feeling of being understimulated, particularly in areas of interest.

Often people might say something like "then go do something you enjoy". (note: I've said the same damned thing too, argh)
But there-in lies the rub: Motivation requires being stimulated into action.
They're basically saying "then go be stimulated to get stimulation"...well duh.
But it still requires a stimulation to go be stimulated to get stimulation...and so on.
