Do you get bored with life?

With all the ups and down people experience in their everyday lives, I wonder if anyone stops to think that if life was as simple and easy as what we all probably wish that quite possibly we would get bored with it. I think that if there was no challenge in life with solving our problems whatever they are, life would get quite boring. Of course there are all different activites that we can do to keep us entertained but I don't think that they would help us to grow into the people we are today. What do you think, would you grow bored without anything to challenge your problem solving skills?

Sometimes it seems very boring - to live the some one day to another. Maybe it would not be so, if we wouldn't need to think only about one thing - where to get money for food, for clothes, for bills etc. But this boredom is made only by ourselves. If we look deeper and can see all what God is giving to us, then it's never become boring to live.

I do sometimes feel bored with the game of life! I guess there will always be days when you feel on top of the world whilst on other days you will feel at your lowest ebb! I think I have found a coping strategy that certainly works for me and that is, I try not to think about the future too much! I tend to take each day as it comes and I think that this is a healthy approach! I like to take regular exercise which consists of daily cycling and this tends to improve my mind and I don't think so much! I'm not too keen on living a life that is inundated with problems, we all need a break from those problems from time to time! Everyone is different in relation to how they handle their problems, some cope and some find it too much! I tend to escape a lot into my favourite books! I read purely for pleasure and I guess I get to experience other worlds and other ways of living from my books! For me, I guess life is both boring as well as exciting at the same time! Andrew

Glad to hear that as I am exactly the same, I take one day at a time and make the most out of every day and I love reading books too and use them to get away from stuff. Its nice to know there is someone like me out there. Enjoy life and thanks for answering.

When you word it that way, yeah I would get pretty bored. Even though challenges make life difficult and sometimes you'd rather die then face another day filled with disappointment after all your hard work, it does give us something to do and focus on and put our energy towards. so I think your right, we would be bored.

Actually i could say that i am a bib bored with life, because i don`t have anything interesting to do, besides mylot. I don`t have a job, i don`t go to school, for now, i don`t go out very often, so, i think i am bored, because my life in this moment, is the computer.

Then why don't you look for something that you would enjoy so you won't get bored with your everyday living,..get out of your comfort zone. Go out with your peers, family, or just by yourself, cause excitements are able to find outside.

Then just don't live anymore. To live means to experience new things. If you are bored then you need to take a look at what you are doing to see why you are bored. I assure you there are a lot of things you haven't experienced yet and you are bored without even taking the first step toward them?

Hi Laurelle11, we have limited time like less than a hundred of year to stay in this planet. It doesn't matter we are willing or not we have to leave for another unknown world or place for sure. It's unavoidable and is a must though we are still reluctant to part with...Therefore it's not wise to waste the remaining time to get bored with what we possess at the moment. It's sad that though I understand this very well I still would feel depressed occasionally. Might be I'm quite moody sometimes. Anyway I'm glad that I'm always in good mood all the time. This is because there are yet lots of interesting activities which are really attractive, amusing, challenging waiting for me to participate in Have a nice day

Sometimes, I do find life a little boring. It does happen on occasion. Not very often, but on occasion. However, at the same time, something will come up to make it more interesting. Challenges and unexpected things seem to happen quite often, I find.

Hi, Life won't be boring as long as you know how to manage your life. Doing some activities might help to cheer up your days. Or even contacting some old mates and meeting up with friends, it is also a way to make your day more lively. Life is Up and Down and we have to treasure what we have now.When problem occured, we have to settle it out. Smile always and help to make your day more meaningful.

i actually feel so bored with life now that i feel like i'm ready to die.it's not that i wanted to kill myself but i just don't really have any goals at this moment that i just lost my job and my girl.do you sometimes feel this too?i'm not anymore sad or depressed but i kind of lost my appetite in living.even when i go out with friends, i just don't enjoy their company. people express their love and concern but it doesn't hit me too.there are a lot of job choices offered as well, i'm so fortunate about that but i'm not even excited with any of it...i just feel so lazy and visionless.whew, i hope this is just a short transition to a more meaningful and adventurous journey ahead.

Actually, I like simple life. I didn't live with lover. I think if I do I will feel bored too. But I will to do my hobby. If you have a lot of hobbies may be will transfer your attention an will not feel bored in your life.

No. Life is sweet with all the ups and downs. and i guess it's not life if there are no ups and down because that's simply the nature of life, you get the good times and the bad times. I like it when i have problems sometimes because it make me feel alive with different emotions. :) Just enjoy the ride and you won't get bored. :)

Some people want a simple life because not many people are lucky as us. Everytime they have to deal with problems. But i think that i would get bored if life was so simple because life is full of challenges. If there are no challenges then no life.

Life is really boring when doing nothing and solving problem all the time makes me sick..! yes you are right, problems is part of life and this makes us grow, the way how we think and discipline ourselves and how we perceived our future.
