What is boredom mean to you? what are the reasons of boredom and how one can cope successfully with boredom?

Most of the people are bore that's why they are here to cope with boredom. But don't you think this is a quick fix solution to deep rooted problem. Quick fix can further increase boredom in long run. Is there any permanent solution for this boredom problem? what are the reasons behind problem? what are our feelings when we are bore and what are the feelings when we are in joy and fun? Where is the missing link between the continuum of boredom and fun?

Thanks for joining this thread and giving new insights into this enigma like boredom topic. Yeah, i agree that most of the people who want to utilize useful and productive time find themselves in the midst of boredom when they don't have anything to do. When they don't have to do anything than they engage themselves into activities which we describe under the phrase " Killing the time" and useless activities. 

But i never understand why we get boredom from the most important projects while we enjoy in the company of most useless activity i.e we don't spend quality time with our own family but we kill our time on TV, internet, and clubs. 

Why we ignore what we already have for what we don't have?

Why we put ourselves in capricious aura? 

glassy heart:

Thanks for your suggestions. So, the point from your side is to make ourselves align with divine nature and be optimistic and avoid pessimists. 

ilona.vienna:

Thanks for sharing your problem, lets think for a glance what you have mentioned may be we able to further elaborate our topic. You said, " i am boring because of lonely. i feel nobody care me,everyone ignore me".

You have mentioned good reasons for getting yourself into boredom, so, it means boredom is something to do with loneliness and insignificance. Honestly these are very realistic reasons.

You further mentioned, 

"pay all my attention on my work or something else to distract myself".

You have mentioned one of the boredom coping recipe….

So, this means that you don't get enjoyment from your work itself but for the sake of overcoming the emotions and feelings which are emerging out of your loneliness and insignificance.

In other words there are few basic human needs which if not fulfilled lead us to the ocean of boredom. There must be some other needs. let's think about it to further explore it.

Ilona, first we have to explore it further to distinguish the basic human needs due to which we feel lonely and insignificance than we will be able to diagnose.

So, the next question is why you feel yourself lonely and insignificant? why you can't satisfy yourself with your own being? Don't you think that lack of confidence have to do something with insignificance and loneliness? 

weary feeling that it is not a nice feeling when I'm bored playing with my brothers kids or read a book or visit my friends
but I don't feel bored most often will I be busy on my studies take most of my time 
i hope you don't feel bored and are always happy

pls do not try to analyse me by your own thoughts and teach lessons here. do not make things so complex. do you think you are a psychological doctor or teacher?

oh,,,i am sorry ,you may think i have very bad manners. but i really don't want people make comments on me.

maybe i do not belong to here

Ilona-Vienna,

I haven't commented something on you rather i have raised question from your sentences. I don't feel sorry because i haven't mentioned anything which you are interpreting 180angle opposite from what i really wanted to mentioned. Neither i am a psychologist nor any mental health doctor, only i am here to discuss this topic intellectually. I am elaborating this topic in general terms and you are taking it personally ( May be this is because of left brain/right brain difference).May be it is because i haven't explained my point of view more clearly, if this is so than OK take all these thoughts as mine and i have no problem if you don't agree with me. 

This is obvious thing that there are six basic human needs which every person wants to fulfill and anyone who fill up our these 6 basic human needs are attracted to us and we feel significant.

The 6 basic needs are: ( Which i have learned from the opinions of others and i feel that it is true….. but you have the authority to reject).

1)Certainty /security: To take comfort and avoid pain.

2)Uncertainty/ suspense:  suspense and thrill, so that to fill up our lives with thrill everyday.

3)Significance: so that our loved ones at home and office give us significance. Everyone of us want to be recognized and we need significance from our circle of relatives and friends.

4) Love and connection: everyone wants to be loved and to be connected.

5) Growth and progress: everyday the life is changing and we have to grow with every new experience. We make mistakes and we have to grow to learn from it so that to avoid again and better our approach for next social dealing.

6) Contribution: contribution is the height of standard living to love and contribute in relationships unconditionally, even to love those who don't fulfill our needs ( although this is very difficult quality to attain).

Hope i have explained my point of view.  Thank you.

Actually, now I get bored to be here…

So, I still have not been so interested to share my opinion. ^_

n this is one of my reason why I search this topic

Nice post, indeed!

Hope I can visit this thread again in other time…

i think the main reason for boredom is the lack of freedom. i can observe this most happened with students at the time of exams . Students have little choice over how they spend their time. One choice they do have is how to express their boredom.
