I wish I could say "I'm bored."

Hey there,

haven't posted here for awhile, but I was checking the posts and it seems many people post here because they're bored. My question is: How is it possible to be bored?

I'm busy Miss Lizzy, having 5 exams in next two weeks, studying all day/night long.. I wanna be bored too...

 

Easy, they are doing nothing!

 

But.. how's that? I mean.. you have to work/study (or both), sometimes do some home work, cook, take care of children/pets...

Never mind. I just don't know "how to make boredom work." :tongue:

 

Well you assume they have a job, have to care for themselves ect. Some flop at mom and dads, get fed and cared for, all but the diaper change really.

I know busy people get bored too, they are so used to running 100mph all the time that when they get a moment of rest it bores them.

 

Well I'm not a hyperactive type of person either.
I hope this thread isn't offensive, I don't judge anyone for "being bored", I was just curious... Well then, back to sociology.

 

I dont judge either, I mean maybe its a partial jealousy even. Somedays I would dream of being able to not worry about bills, losing money, worrying about what to buy for food, taking care of the house, the cars, ect. It would be nice not to have to get up, have to do what all your customers want you to do, drive here and there to pick up systems, repair networks, fix stupid mistakes, wait until it happens again, not worry how your health is and so on. To be carefree would be so so nice.

 

Yes, it would.. but maybe after some time you'd start missing your everyday troubles.. I don't know.. there are too many if's and would's..

 

You definitely do, and I wish I could say "Im never bored. Im always busy. Ive always got people to see and places to be"

I havent worked consistently (Ive had on and off jobs) for 2 years now as Im in therapy for Post Traumatic Stress Disorder after events that happened to me. In terms of my personal wellbeing, they have been the worst years of my life. Some days I cant leave the house, but it gets so boring and lonely and sad and pathetic. Thankfully Im making al the moves in the right direction and I think m doing well all things considered, but Id obviously rather it could all just go away and I could get back to a more regular routine

 

Oh.. Good Luck! I understand your situation, I was more likely talking about people who don't have any problems (physical neither psychical) and still are like "I am bored, somebody entertain me!"...

 

These psuedo-philosophical threads are always retarded.

 

Sure. And the best ones are about breakfasts, cars or fools.

 

i have exams too..

 

At least the fakeness factor is minimal.

 

Good Luck.

What am I faking?

 

I stopped reading the thread at sociology.

Not through boredom (xD) but I'm considering taking it for A levels, I probably wouldn't but I'm wondering what you think of it. Most likely I'll take Philosophy but I'm waiting till the taster lessons till I decide and if I decide that Philosophy sucks, I'ma probably taking sociology.

The only downside is whenever I see it at a glance I think it says scientology.

 

Hehe Well what I think about sociology.. First of all, I'm not major at sociology and it's my first semester at uni, so .. but so far I like it. It's very interesting, it makes you think about things you'd never think about before. (Well as most of humanities.) ...

 

it takes a great deal of planning, ingenuity and fortitude.

 

yes/no (no), no, microwave, no/no.

so yeah, i might get bored once a day and mention it on here.

 

OMG, highschool sux so much !

 

i was in AP classes. exams were pretty shitty.
