How do you handle boredom? I don't know why, but to me it's a depressing experience... What kind of things do you do to get out of it?
How do you handle boredom? I don't know why, but to me it's a depressing experience... What kind of things do you do to get out of it?
I cook, read, study, write, go for a drive, watch a movie/tv show, have a smoke, make a mix CD, call someone up, write an email, lay down, draw, tease my roommates' cats, review '5 year plan' (more like 5 week plan), etc.
I don't get bored too much any more. I find myself judging whether or not I'm being 'productive' at achieving some emotional end.

There are countless ways to get involved and contribute.
Boredom is wasted time I've got a lot of wasted time coming up this summer.
Posts I wrote in the past contain less nuance.
If you're in this forum to learn something, be careful. Lots of misplaced toxicity.
~an extraverted consciousness is unable to believe in invisible forces.
~a certain mysterious power that may prove terribly fascinating to the extraverted man, for it touches his unconscious.
Sounds good. Though the one thing I don't feel like doing is calling someone up, just leaving the phone off.
That's interesting, I might have the opposite problem.
Well, that's not a bad idea, but I'll have to commute a lot for charity.
But what do you do when you're awake? I find sleeping a good way to make the day go by faster actually.
Yeah I need to do that.... eventually. To me I have a pretty organized mess, I know where everything is located. You'd think it's a mess, but, it's not... Also I don't feel like doing that type of activity, hehe.
I almost never get bored, there's all kinds of stuff to do or think about. Consider looking up a new hobby or reading up on a new subject.

Very timely. I've been getting that itchy bored feeling these past few days...
When I get bored, I go and wander someplace. The library, or the park, or wherever. Getting out of the house and being around other people, even if I'm not talking to anyone, helps me, personally.

When bored, I tend to want to get out of the house for whatever reason. So I go take care of errands, work out, eat out, etc. Alternatively, I'll pop open a book, look up random new things on the internet, watch tons of movies, or take a nap.

I can't wait to be a housewife.
