when boredom strikes

Hi all. I want to know what do you usually do when you're bored. Sometimes, I wonder why people get bored. Me, I find it boring only when I'm doing nothing. But whenever I'm alone, and start to get bored, I read books, and I can do that the whole day! Sometimes, I just sleep when I don't have anything to read, sometimes I write, trying to finish a novel (my frustration), and THINKING is my worst habit! haha! How about you? How do you cope up boredom?

I can honestly say that I never get bored!! I can ALWAYS find something to do, there are never enough hours in the day for me to do all that I really want. I enjoy my garden I read, I cook, I walk, I feed the birds, I come on the computer, I knit, I sew, I play with my grandchildren, I swim..... like I say, I'm never bored

I do not get bored these days too. When I am at the office and I am suddenly feel bored or tired and the internet could not help anymore, I look out my window and watch the people walking below, doing their own stuff. I also watch the cars passing by. That usually gets rid of my boredom. Have a nice day!

I usually get bored whenever traveling. I just put on my earphones and get lost with my kind of music. Sometimes, I also feel bored when I'm at home. So I read a novel or watch mindless reality TV shows. :-) I also think a lot and I try to avoid doing this when bored. I don't want to think constantly because my job is stressful already. :-)

This might sound weird, but I only get bored when I'm supposed to do something and I finished it early, or when I'm supposed to do something that I don't like. For example, I'm playing a game with my family and I don't feel like playing the game, I get bored. Or when I'm at the office and I'm supposed to work but I've finished everything that I'm supposed to do and cant find anything else to do. When I have my own time,like during weekends, I read a lot or just laze around. Play games on the computer or play with my siblings. I usually just read, play or earn money online. I also like to think too, but I do that before I sleep, or when I'm not doing anything n particular and I'm to lazy to play or grab a book. When you say finishing a novel is your frustration you mean to say you haven't finished a novel yet or you always want to finish the novel quick? I'm thinking of starting a book club. Wanna join? haha

When I got nothing to do then I might sit down and think which I also dislike a lot, because many thoughts come to my mind which sometimes hurt and pains also and sometimes they are positive but still pains when I cannot fulfill them all. So I just turn a game one and play it till I do not feel back to normal.

if I'm bored, usually I'm go out the house. Walk around the city and stops at a crowded place. Although in there, in the end I was just stunned alone, but at least, when I got home, I'm not bored again
