I'm asking: what are your methods for dealing with boredom? Whenever I get bored, I usually take a nap, read something (a book or online content), surf the web, watch tv, watch youtube videos, write, or anything else. I do these things because it makes time feel like it's going by faster. Also, watching youtube or tv is enjoyable. Surfing the web is enjoyable because I get to find out what's on the internet. Reading is enjoyable. Sometimes, I take a nap because I want for time to go faster, or I think that will make the boredom go away. How about you? Also, why do you do these things when you are bored?
I usually look for youtube videos, read (anything), study, talk to someone through the internet or just write. I do those things because I enjoy doing them and I hate feeling bored. I get more excited after those and may keep on doing them until I get bored again.
Suffering a pretty big bout of boredom rn. So far I've crossed off Watch YouTube videos, cleaning my apartment and get caught up on TV shows. So my next port of call is to read. Tbh I watch YouTube videos as a last resort. I usually go for catching up on TV first as I hardly ever get time anymore to watch my favourite shows. And because I use my time to watch TV- I neglect my reading list and thus become one of the clichéd "I love to read but haven't read anything in 2 months" types. And cleaning because my apartment is a literal pigsty and if I didn't clean when bored then I would likely be one of those people that is killed in junk avalanches.
I try to do different things so that I don't get tired. But generally I like reading, listening to music, talking to people, walking, learning new things, napping (when I am exhausted :lol: ), etc.
That's good. I need to look into that. ---------- Post added 9th Apr 2017 at 05:00 PM ---------- That's good. I don't really have a checking system. I just list them. Cleaning sounds good because you can always get it out the way. ---------- Post added 9th Apr 2017 at 05:00 PM ---------- That's good. ---------- Post added 9th Apr 2017 at 05:01 PM ---------- That's good. ---------- Post added 9th Apr 2017 at 05:01 PM ---------- Okay ---------- Post added 9th Apr 2017 at 05:02 PM ---------- That's good. ---------- Post added 9th Apr 2017 at 05:03 PM ---------- That's good. It sounds very simple. I like it. My list always seems complex.
What I do is just watch YouTube videos, draw, read, sing, play video games, or binge-watch TV shows. If I'm feeling talkative, I'll talk to my two close friends.
I am starting to like u more and more. Nicotine patches or disobey John entirely and wake up to him standing over u while ur high in a house full of druggies? ---------- Post added 10th Apr 2017 at 10:12 AM ---------- I put on music or play my guitar/sing. I can rap too lol. I shoot people on my PS4. I drink Irn Bru (nectar of the gods). I draw/paint. I read a book. YouTube. I watch anime. I call my bf. These are all things that should happen.... Instead I yell and throw things at my wall.
Writing and music for me, or a typical goofy gaming video. If I have a good writing prompt, I can spend hours just doing that.
I used to always be bored, so I went to college. I don't have time to be bored anymore. College is a great cure for boredom.
I only get bored of doing things, like studying or chores, not of doing nothing. I'm never bored as in "I've got nothing to do". There's always interesting things around.
I tend to just put on background music most of the time when I'm not really doing anything. There's always something to listen to whether it's a song I've heard countless times or an album I've never heard before. I love Spotify.
