    egos, in my experience. That, or maybe they're the most prone to discuss their boredom.

    I think all types are the most inclined to feel bored, especially generations nowadays, those with no life. Types of older people seem to easily cope with boredom, partly because they have a life, and partly because they don't believe in Santa Claus.

    IMO, rationals never admit being bored because "there is always sth to do", and lazy people (irrationals?) get bored "because they love it".

    Was I bored? No, I wasn't fuckin' bored. I'm never bored. That's the trouble with everybody - you're all so bored. You've had nature explained to you and you're bored with it, you've had the living body explained to you and you're bored with it, you've had the universe explained to you and you're bored with it, so now you want cheap thrills and, like, plenty of them, and it doesn't matter how tawdry or vacuous they are as long as it's new as long as it's new as long as it flashes and fuckin' bleeps in forty fuckin' different colors. So whatever else you can say about me, I'm not fuckin' bored.

    ..come to think of it. I can't remember when was the last time I heard someone older saying "I'm bored!"

    When an ESTj learns to enjoy their many activities with depth they will no longer feel bored, in general, EP's like ENTp's and ENFp's especially have a hard time being bored.

    I'm constantly looking to align the real with the ideal.I've been more oriented toward being overly idealistic by expecting the real to match the ideal. My thinking side is dominent. The result is that sometimes I can be overly impersonal or self-centered in my approach, not being understanding of others in the process and simply thinking "you should do this" or "everyone should follor this rule"..."regardless of how they feel or where they're coming from"which just isn't a good attitude to have. It is a way, though, to give oneself an artificial sense of self-justification. LSE

    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.
