I don't think I've EVER been bored

[LaurieFairyCake]

Really, never

With access to the internet for 30 years now there's always books/articles - anything 🤷‍♀️ to read

Plus going out for walks, tv watching, playing games, dogs to cuddle

I just can't imagine ever being bored

Were you not bored before you thought to write and tell us?

Jolly good 🤷

Congrats! Here's a biscuit

I’m really bored right now.

I think if you're spending your time on a forum announcing to a bunch of strangers that you've never been bored, then you probably are actually quite bored.

Bet your mum remembers differently 😬

Good for you

Great?

Do you think you have a fairly low entertainment threshold?

Why do people have to give such arsey replies to an OP?

There's actually an interesting conversation to be had.

I think many people see boredom as some kind of personal failing or an admittance that their lives aren't as busy and interesting as they'd like us to believe.
It's ok to be bored, it's not ok to be totally lacking in imagination though.

Lol 😂

I SHOULD have asked you all 'Anyone else never get bored'?

I knew there was something I missed from this post

Of course you've been bored. Everyone has been bored at some stage.

Just because you have such a rich and fulfilling life, you obviously can't remember a time when you were bored

I don't think that having nothing to do is always, or even often, a reason that people are bored. I quite like a bit of 'nothing' like sitting indoors watching the rain. Having nothing to do leads to creativity I think, I generally have a load of projects floating around my brain (quilting, sewing, crochet) that aren't quite right and they need a bit of ruminating to come up with the thing that makes them work.

What bores me is things like being in work meetings that could have been a quick email, where I can't even let my brain drift off because someone might ask for my input. Or that dinner party where one of the guests gave a long, long diatribe on why atheists can never really be 'good', only people guided by God can be morally upright and good.

I agree OP. I'm the same. Too many things to do ( or to procrastinate about) to be bored. And little things please me :)

I wasn't trying to be that arsey! Genuine question. Some people must be more easily entertained than others.

I think it might actually be good for us to be bored now and then. Provides some brain space and allows one to 'just be' and is said to foster creativity.

Some people really are more easily entertained than others. I don't mean that in an arsey way. I get bored often.

Oh actually @BlackAmericanoNoSugar yes I agree, I sometimes get bored when I am in a work meeting.

One of my deep regrets is that I don't play a sport or do a craft.

I often find myself saying annoying mum things to my kids like 'I wish I had the TIME to be bored!' But yes, I'm not one to get bored either

Some people have a low boredom threshold. Some are more easily entertained.

I am in the first category. I do get bored very easily, especially when I have to do stuff that I don't find interesting. But on the positive side, my low boredom threshold pushes me to do lots of interesting and exciting things.

I reckon if I could be easily satisfied by reading a few articles on the Internet, I would never leave my bed!!

It's never too late to start?

Do you work, op? Or have any obligations beyond entertaining yourself however you choose?

Is there something stopping you?

I say to my kids "only boring people get bored" but it's nuanced.

On my own, free time, I never get bored. There is always something to do which I enjoy. But at work, gosh, some days I'd rather drill my eyes than sit through some of the boring training or meetings we have.

So, no I don't think it's possible to never be bored, but when you're in control of your own time I can't imagine being bored as rectifying it is as simple as picking up a book.
