Boredom

Tweet

When I was growing up I was told that being bored was a choice, but I always argued saying that it was a feeling because I felt bored. I was too young to really know the difference, but now that I am older I can honestly see it as being both. I see it as a choice because you can choose to do something and get out of that funk, but you also could feel bored while doing something because nothing seems interesting at that time. What do you consider boredom, and how do you deal with it?
