Boredom is a state when you are stuck in something that seems to go on forever. Monotonous. Whenever I'm bored, I try to discover things. Like this mylot, I just discovered it last night and now I'm not bored anymore! lolz. What do you do when you're bored?

When I am bored, I usually do readings, watch films, or do some cooking etc. Actually I want to know what will you do when you are get angry? I am mad at some collegue right now. I just want to get rid of this negative energey and find out my inner peace. Happy mylotting.

For me the best relief when angry is exercise..I dance around to music I like and pretty soon I feel better. Sometimes it's hard to force myself to start, but then it gets easier...

Thank you sunli123 and staryl for responding. I like your idea of exercising when angry or bored staryl. I might start getting into that activity. I hope I can cook sunli123 but it's not really my interest. I love to eat though ^_^"

There is no such thing as 'boredom' in me. I have my personal comuter which contains everything I want, I have my dog 'Dora' and we always play in the afternoon, we have television in here,I have a lot of foods and many simple things that makes mi life so exciting and not boring. I may have a simple life but still I make the most out of it. Make use of the simple things around you and be happy.

My favorite way of getting rid of the boredom is to listen to music. I keep a collection of CDs of music. My favorite is classical music, Chopin, Brahms, Johan Strauss, Beethoven, Mozart, and more. Listening to classical music is very relaxing and refreshing, indeed.

I agree with you Hatley and greenline! Classical Music is indeed very relaxing and soothing to the soul. You can imagine several things like you are in a castle when you close your eyes as you listen to the music.

When I'm bored, I usually just do something I enjoy doing. It may not always help, or may take sometime before I stop being bored, but it does usually help. It's what I do, and it does help.

Hi dodo19! There are lots of things that I enjoy doing like reading, writing and sleeping. When I am bored though these things sounds boring too. They are just for sometime though :)

I choose to listen to music and read some books to make me feel interested in something.Otherwise,i would feel it boring and fall asleep,this is like another way of wasting time for me.So just make full use of our time,it's meaningful.

i am like you. I always try to discover things, especially mathematic. I solve a hard math problem and I am not bored anymore. Also, I listen to music and watch TV or films. Those are normal ways to make me no longer bored.

Hi anhalai123! Math sounds exciting and not boring however Math is really really hard because it seems so complicated. I need to give my 100% focus if I want to understand it _

I look for ways to make a few bucks online, read books, watch sitcoms, organize my room, listen to music, take a nap, play computer games, write in a diary, doodle, find an interesting thing to do in your city, plan a trip, make a financial plan, write a letter, find an elevator and mutter to yourself when there are people in it, ponder philosophical questions, learn a new language, try a new food, bake cookies, dance around in underwear, sit perfectly still for as long as possible, hold breath, stretch, relax, community service, dress up for no good reason, take a walk.
