My boredom is bothering me

Post Reply New Topic

Right now, I'm working about 24 hours a week. I'm at home a lot with my netflix, hulu and my laptop. That kind of life takes a toll on you. I've always had a sweet tooth, but recently that seems to be amplified. I have this one friend I hang out with on an occasion but he's really the only friend I have. A lot of the times I go out of the house these days are with my dad or my mom picks me up. Tonight for instance, my mom picked me up and her, my sister and I went out to eat. Then my mom dropped me off at home and now I'm back to boredom, and it's just me here because my dad's out of town.

I wish I had more friends. I wish I had a girlfriend. I wish my life was more eventful. My life's like how it's been for several years, minus going to school.

Too much excitement is like , adrenal fatigue

Too much boredom is like, obsessive compulsive disorder

Different people find different things interesting

Not everything has to be interesting

There are many things that are much worse than boredom

Lately my "life" has been boring

And I am boring

But getting hit by a car, fired, expelled, evicted, raped, are exciting

So boredom is not such a bad thing

This does kind of tend go with the Asperger's territory, I'm afraid.


Yes, well obviously, there is such a thing as a happy medium!

There is a pretty good chance that your life will include some less boring passages. I regret my crystal ball doesn't seem to be working properly just now. So I can't tell you what those things may be, nor when they may come along. But if my 19-year-old self could have seen what lay in his future, between, say, 1992 and 1996, let alone what ensued after then, he would flat-down have refused to believe it (or he would have had a spontaneous orgasm and died from acute cardiac arrest with an amazed grin on his face, and a big damp patch on his Y-Fronts).

I'll make you one guaranteed copper-bottomed authentic prediction: The future is liable to be unpredictable.

So I know this is easier said than done, but try to live and breathe as calmly and serenely as possible through the boring bits, and the more content you appear to others, the more impressed by you they'll be, and the more likely they are to come and drag you from your boredom to some more exciting place. That is not repeat NOT a guarantee; merely a frank statement of probability, based not least on personal lived experience.
