At times, I noticed myself getting bored with my life. Not that I want to kill myself or something lol (i love myself!) but i find it inevitable to become bored at times. Like I am so tired of doing monotonous tasks everyday, same routine every week. I can't call it depression because it will only last for a few hours. And then I am back on my feet again. Do you ever feel the same way too? Come on, speak up so I will know this is normal. lol Thanks guys.

I have been alone for like Five years since i lost my folks and from time to time something this feelings keep coming to my mind of what use is life when i dont have my parents around to help me. Cos i have been surfering alot ever since they past. So yes i feel that way alot. I mean alot if you know what i mean.

bored,,,,,,,,, There is a reason and a purpose for your life my friend. Sometimes you just have to keep searching until you find it. Just being able to surf would make me high alone. I often dream about surfing but I'm too afraid to actually get out there and try it. You are lucky that you have this as an outlet. Don't allow your bad thoughts to get the best of you. Your mom and dad would want you to keep going on. Happy mylot!

you have my empathy mikokre.. i lost my father too. that is why i don't remember the joy of having a father, of being loved by one. maybe one of the sad things about my life. but i still have my mom and siblings. what about you? if you lost your parents, find someone to cling to. but do not depend altogether to another person because someday somehow they will leave too. what you need to do is find meaning in your life. what is the purpose of your life? why do you still live? if you discover it, cling to it, make it grow. citychic is right, i am sure your parents want you to move on with life. cheer up! i believe you have other relatives, friends or special someone to share your life with. do not ever think that you are alone because you are not. just look around and you will see a reason for living. just by writing this comment makes my eyes teary.. you know what, God is so good, so why don't you bend your knees and pray? He will help you more than anyone else. If everything else is not around, try God.

Do you ever feel bored of your life? Hello NarcyzaProspera, yes, what you have described it what get me too. I feel so bored sometimes. I am almost so bored that sometimes I think about just getting in my car and going for a long long drive somewhere. But I don't dare act on it because I'm araid that I might wind up at the wrong place. Which would be at one of my ex's house. And I am not sure where he is in his life, as I haven't been in touch with him since the day I decided to walk out on him. But where I am right now, I'm really not happy. So I tell the one I'm with. One of these days when I have all my ducks lined up in a row, i will walk. Simply because he knows how boring this life is for me and he don't do anything to try to help me. As for you, you are a very pretty young girl and you shouldn't be feeling that way. Maybe you need to try to focus on making some new friends. Or get involved in some charity events. Maybe even go out to a kareokee bar on the weekend. Sometime I wished that i had alot of friends here with me so that we could all go out together and have some fun. Just laughing, singing, dancing and acting goofy. This sort of thing is good for the soul sometimes, ya know? You should try it and see what happens. Happy mylot, wishing you all the best and thanks for expressing your feelings. What kind of work do you do my friend? CC!

i work at night,at a contact center here in the Philippines. which maybe adds up to me being gloomy at times. i sleep during day and work at night. good thing i found mylot,i get to express my feelings, meet new friends and earn at the same time. i'm scared to take risks and go out. it is almost not safe everywhere so strolling around is not really a good idea. unless i spend my day in the mall where i am safe. i write down my goals every time and exert effort to achieve all of it. however, when i get something, i feel happy for a while, even high-spirited then back to being gloomy. i don't know why i could not sustain my happiness. i feel happy now, then back to being bored again later.and lonely. on weekends i do housework and rest my body and mind. i go to the gym on weekdays (in the morning, and sleep in the afternoon) as well that is why it consumes a lot of my time, aside from work. so on weekends i just feel like lying on my bed and do nothing. now i find my routine very boring and monotonous.

It seems to be the human condition to be bored with anything we do over and over. This can be true of almost anything. We seem to be far more interested in something new....something we have not experianced before. There are some things however we never get bored with but if we look closely at that we see that what ever it is usually involves change of some kind. Learning something new all the time even though it may be the same work we all ways do. We get bored when we know that we could do it in our sleep. We know how to do it backwards and forwards and there is nothing new to learn. So I feel the key to keep from being bored is to always be trying to find something new to learn. Either in doing it or in thinking about it. Taking a class in something. Trying your hand at art or craft projects. Maybe just trying to learn about something around the house you have been afraid to do because you just know you will mess it up. There are so many directions to take but you have to be able and willing to look for them.

It is quite common that you go through that kind of state in life sometimes. You have to take a break, have a change of life for a few days and resume normal life after.

When I was still working in one of the call centers here, I have a boss who would never stop saying condescending words to everyone and anyone around him. Everyday you here the same crap even if your performing well or not you receive the same ugly words from him every day. Everyday when I get home I cry, I feel so frustrated, low self steamed and everyday that I have to go to work my minds asking me is it work time again? can't I just be absent? second thing that frustrated me is that I am not seeing my husband then because of our work schedules. My husband told me that since I know whats making my life miserable and boring, why don't I make the changes. SO what I did is I asked for a leave of 3days, I found a job online and so I resigned. Now I am happy again, looking forward for to everyday. Now I can work and be with him at the same time. I dont have to put up with all the crap of my old boss, and I am happy no more rinkles. My late mom use to tell me if your bored do something to spice it up, if you dont like what you have then change it. Its your life, you have to be happy. That's the only way you'll be more productive to others and to god. For GOd wants you to appreciate life.

Yes, I noticed myself getting bored with my life in May when I lost my job because of my health condition, and as you say, tired of doing monotonous tasks everyday, just the same thing paying bills, paying bills, and more bills. But now I feel better, I make more money online than on that job. And I changed a couple of things so I don't get bored again now I pay bills online and spend more time with my family.

ya you are true.,., but its not really always feel, we feel bore when we are alone, when someone dont care of us and no particular aim of life. These are the one of the most important things of life to live well dont think about kill your self bcoz this can do sick person only be brave in your life. see the life of peoples that are more poor then you and how they can survive. Makes some true friend and share information with them so get releief and relaxed. Enjoy the life love that people that loves you. Imagin a aim in your life and work hard to achieve your aim so you become busy and your tention gones nad you dont get bore. If you satisfied then plz reply me ,, thanks

Yes I did most of the time. I am currently waiting for my new job. They said that I am hired but it's almost two months and they haven't called for my training. Being at home every day with the same routine is so boring and i felt like loosing my skills and knowledge. i think it's normal. We just have to find some activities to fill up our boredom.

I always feel life so empty, especially when I have nothing to do. So I think the best thing to make yourself happy is to find you someting to do, never make yourself alone too much time. You could go outside with your friends or join some club, that really helps. Have a nice day!

well, it does happen to me at times. there are times when things get quite difficult and it is during such times that i feel very bored and frustrated with life. it makes me feel quite restless and leaves me feeling low. but, i get to normal in a day or two and resume life again.

Same feelings. Are you a student? Because I am, and I think being a student contributes largely to this... the routine are as follows: 1.) Wake up/brush teeth/get ready 2.) Go to school 3.) do homework/study 4.) eat/sleep/repeat sigh... if i fail even ONE test, i will be so screwed... the massive amount of stress that I get is inevitable. prep school, my real school, and tests, especially the upcoming SAT. dont worry, because I feel the same way. if you ever feel that you are the only one under this torture, remember me, and think I am here suffering the same catastrophe.

it does happen for everyone especially when you have to do the same thing over and over again every day of the week, sometimes i do feel i have not achieved something significant in my life and i do blame myself but looks like the situation i found myself in has not really helped

Back when I was single and when I did not have my son yet there were times that I would feel that my life is so boring. I would do something out of my usual stuff just so I can feel not so empty. But when I learned about my pregnancy it all stopped. It was a fream come true for me and I never looked at it as a negative outcome in my life. Life may seem boring but I know you just have not found your calling in life yet.

Most of the time yes, it doesn't sound surprising to me because this was and is my choice. depression usually happens when something bad happens to you or some one you cared about. it can really be boring doing the same thing over and over again. it becomes exciting when either you do or discover something new.
