I passed a supermarket and saw some teens hanging outside it. What a boring life they lead.


Does anyone understand why people hang around at places like shopping precincts? :?: I mean, even if you liked just chatting for hours and not really doing anything, surely there must be more pleasant places to do so?


And you wonder why I say the whole socialization thing is so incredibly overrated?


Bored teenagers........ :(

I think boredom leads to my anxiety and smoking. I have nothing to do all day, since I'm on SSDI.


Haven't you ever heard the phrase, "an idle mind is the devil's workshop?" We all need things to do to keep our minds busy...whether one works at
a job or lives on Social Security Disability. If knitting interests you, sign up for the class. I taught myself to knit as well as crochet. Visit your local
library and pick up some books that interest you. Develop an interest in something you like to do. Take up bird watching. Learn about the stars up
in the night sky and look for the various constellations when they appear...the "Big Dipper" is the easiest! There are thousands of enjoyable things you can do with your time...just sit down and figure out what it is that you would like to do.


I can second the knitting. It fills in the "holes" of my day really well. I can still think of other things while I knit, too. And it's very soothing.
