Anyone else sitting at home with no friends trying to fight extreme boredom by watching TV, which you're sick of because you use it to combat extreme boredom every other night?

Actually I find myself more bored when I'm trying to interact with people. I mean like people I don't know, or I meet just out and about. Like I can talk well with the members of my family, but they know me well. It's kind of hard to explain, cause it's not like I don't like people. It just seems that when I'm in a conversation it quickly gets to the point where I have nothing else to talk about, and they have nothing else to talk about.

I actually have been pretty happy, cause I'm involved with kid targeted MMORPGS. Since the holidays will be soon, a lot of the companies that create those type of games, are starting to sell more items. Also, Disney's Pixie Hollow which is a game where you can be a fairy is brand new, and I really like that game a lot. I really can't say I get bored that often, cause I'm always looking stuff up on the net, and learning about more things to do. Or at the very least more books to read.

Mostly, but I find entertainment in wishing my life were better.

I go out and see a movie with my mom every friday night.

The social norm says I should probably go out drinking, attempting to get laid and doing various other social activities, but f**k that.

I wish that I had time to be bored.


I go to work as soon as I wake up (maybe taking a short walk if I'm up early), and by the time I get home, I have barely enough time to eat before crashing and needing to go to bed. Sometimes I crash then get up and eat.

Oh yes, I know how you feel. I used to be terribly bored on Friday nights. This past summer was the summer of my discontent. I spent the whole time talking to only two people, one of whom I dearly loved even though he was unwilling or unable to admit to loving me because of all sorts of complicated, messy issues he's facing. The tension was awful, and I had nothing to do while he was busy. I spent many nights curled up in my room, surfing the internet and wishing I had people to go out with and chat to without all sorts of confusion and sexual tension.

Fortunately things have got better lately. Now that the students are back, I have a source of entertainment. They go on pubcrawls practically every weekend and I have a new boyfriend among them that I go out to clubs with. It's been nice. I still need to meet more people though. Now I basically have three close friends near me instead of two, and there are still times when all three of them are busy and I'm left to myself.

Most of the time.

Lately I've been taking to drinking by myself on Friday nights. That seems like it could be a Bad Thing.

Oh boy I'm so fighting boredom and loneliness and depression tonight. Friday nights are always the toughest, loneliest times.

I long for company, for Friday nights spent in a nice restaurant with friends and good conversation and good food, a good movie or play out, meetings at friends' houses, laughter, togetherness...

I'm alone once again on this Friday night. I have things to do but they are getting a bit stale. And I currently have too many issues with anxiety to do what I really want to do. :x

It's funny, isn't it - all the week you work away at a boring job, looking forward to 5pm on Friday, and when you get there you're looking forward to 8.30am on Monday!

For me, Fridays were boring when I was single and lived on my own. I tried to build a routine around having a couple of bottles of beer at home and watching a DVD, but it got dull quickly. Fridays were always boring because you foiund yourself wondering what to do with the boring Saturday and even more boring Sunday to come. I would tell myself I could go for a nice walk, anywhere, but that neon sign attached to my head, the one visible only to abusive teenagers, stopped me.

They're boring now, even though I'm happily married and living with my wife. She gets home Friday evening and just vegges out, which I totally understand, but I find myself just pacing about, not knowing what to do with myself and I usually end up in bed by 9.30. Occasionally we do go out, but I just end up sitting quietly while my wife cheerfully chats with her friends/colleagues.

I know what the OP is on about, and if I knew how to make life better and more fulfilling, the OP would be the first to hear about it!

I agree but personally I dont find Friday nights boring as my favourite show Neighbours is on. I do however find the weekend Sat and Sun often quite boring and isolated. Tofay I am just gonna hang out surfing the net for a while, I will do some washing and cleaning and then possibly watch The Bill tonight. Tomorrow is ok as it is my volunteer day at the youth justice centre we play sport with the detainees and get to talk to them etc but that is only once a month.

During the week I work Tuesday, Thurs and Fri and every second Monday as well. Ocassionaly I get more casual work too that is always good.
