I was soooo bored last night. I couldn't find anything interesting on mylot, and I was too tired of it (I'd spent all day on here!). Then, my husband went to rent 3 movies, and 2 of them were too cheap for me to even watch, the other one was a cartoon called Iron man, which didn't interest me at all! I was too sick to drink alcohol, and I'm out of smoke! I was so bored, I began to get depressed. I do this alot. I have to keep my mind always occupied, or else I will get so upset. How about you? When you get bored, do you get upset? What do you do to defeat boredom? Tell all.

I feel bored if i watch tv only for so long. To get rid of boring i change the things what i m doing like reading book which interest me or dance a while. Its true we should keep ourself busy to not get bored. The best thing i believe we should do is chant God name.

I don't get bored very often, as there is always something to be done for someone. But sometimes I don't want to do anything and I guess that is a form of boredom. I love to read fiction, detective stories and mysteries. So that can distract me, occupy me. I crochet, but mostly while I watch t.v. I also paint with pastels and that takes my full concentration and makes the time fly. When I was married and raising kids I seldom had time to get bored. I remember I did a lot of writing then - letters, poetry, stories. And I did volunteer work then as I do now. I think that I'm only bored when I'm discontented with myself for some reason. Usually the best remedy is to jump into doing something for someone else until I can identify what it is about myself I'm unhappy with and do something to change it.

I turn my sites to my life goals and organization when I am bored. I am seldom without something to change or workout toward my future so I can always accomplish something if I get bored.

I easily get bored and when i can't find anything else interesting for me to do, I do get somewhat depressed. I try calling my friends to hangout and when I'm lucky we hangout. Getting easily bored is something i really hate about myself. I'm constantly jumping from one hobby to another. I lose interest before i even start getting good at something. Maybe it's not such a bad thing, boredom has pushed me to learn or read on things i wouldn't normally read about.
