Ever felt reality is extremely boring and you want to disappear into a fantasy world?
Every day you're doing the same thing over and over. Don't you get tired?
I even felt going on a normal vacation to another country is boring unless I'm visiting magical world that doesn't exist.
Yeah I'm pretty much prone to boredom even doing the things that I love makes me bored as well.

I am the type of person that gets bored easily but not over the same things that everyone else does. I can relax without any power or noise and just sit there and think etc. I don't do vacations very much either, but I do crave for them. For me as long as I have some good friends and good laughs I am okay.
Of course what does bore me is work.

Just like you, I tend to get bored with my everyday life as well. The wonders of doing what you love the most worked its magic before but as I mature, things that I used to love doing become boring as well.
I think, the thing with doing what you love the most every time you are bored is that, when you get bored often, you do these things often, hence, it becomes a routine. As mundane as the things we never really liked doing in the first place. Therefore, the boredom with its ever present existence becomes rather unavoidable.
With that in mind, right now, what I am trying to do is to think outside the box. I try to be adventurous as possible. Leaving my comfort zone to search for something which can challenge me. Instead of wasting time worrying about how bored my life is, I am trying to challenge my attention and energy into doing something I have never done before. In the process, I am face with the limitless possibilities that I can be good at something or I can enjoy something other than what I am used to doing.
And that somehow, took the feeling of boredom away.

Many of us start out life being very self absorbed. But if you will take the time to look around there is a whole wide world out there, many wonderful things are happening, and many interesting things also. Many of these things will affect your life in the future. If you pay attention you can get involved if you want.
Just start to talk to other people, each day try to talk to at least one new person. Look at little things, the street, the side walk, the different sounds around you. In other words pay attention to the world outside yourself.
Happy journeys.

Oh yes. I sometimes got bored. It is so natural if we get bored sometimes. I also feel that way. Sometimes I asked myself that why we have to repeat the same thing over and over again, but I realized that maybe we have purpose here on earth. That is why we do the same thing over and over again. Only God know why we need to do the same things here on earth.

I agree because the only way to experience a fantasy world is too read books.Maybe your at the beach or somewhere very relaxing g for you and reading a catastrophe boom can take you anywhere.If you are very bored try to be socialized with your friends and have some fun together.Remember you've only got one life to live on this world ,and limited time so make the best use of it.

I think life is what we think. If we think our life is boring it will be like that. I think if we concentrate on the good things of the life the life will never bored. I think there are lots of things in our life that we can do to make our life not to become happy.

I used to get SOOOOOO tired of hearing my kids say 'I'm bored!' When I was young I would use a broom stick for a horse or pretend to being doing something fun. Used my imagination to keep me entertained. I can understand being bored now. I was diagnosed with severe depression with panic attacks back in 2004. I spend most of my days in my room either online, watching tv or sleeping. I don't clean, cook or socialize. I have social anxiety. But there are days when I feel bored. I guess in my condition that would be a GOOD DAY.

I don't think that my everyday life is boring. Some of the household chores are boring and sometimes I find by work boring as well, but I always try to focus on the things that I enjoy and the things that I look forward to. At the moment I look forward to the summer months when I will be able to spend time outside. I look forward to exploring some new islands with my friends and I look forward to other summer activities like the fairs, the music festival on my island and the Medieval festival. In September and October I look forward to the night festival and Horror nights. Most of all I look forward to our trip to Asia

There is so much one can do to break the monotony of life. I therefore see to it that I add some spice and make my life interesting.Even a small thing like a pedicure can change the way my day goes. Who else but oneself can make it boring or interesting. There are days ofcourse one just feels like doing nothing but that day will pass off.

Perhaps you are depressed because if doing things you usually love to do doesn't make you happy that can be a sign of depression, it happened to me and these days , I just try to keep busy but sometimes feel down because of things in life. Maybe you could check with your doctor and if you are depressed the doctor can recommend or prescribe something that may help.

Before I kind of feel like everyday is boring for me. But then I looked at the positive side and now I am always happy because I try new things each day and maintain a positive attitude. I always dream about what I want to achieve in life and working hard for them trying to reach my goals more and more each day. We have to strive hard in order for life not to appear boring for us, we strive so that we face new challenges and then achieve what we want to have in this life. I want to have my own IT company that's why I work hard in school and use my creativity to create programs and applications. I want those things to come true that's why I work hard for it all the time.

Yes, there have been times that I wanted to "join" a fantasy world especially after reading a really good book or after watching a good movie. I think it's normal to feel bored from time to time especially if we are doing the same things every day. Try not to dwell in those feelings of boredom though. Life is short (it really is!)and we should be able to enjoy it while we can. Maybe you can try taking up a new hobby. Learn a new language, learn to play a guitar or whatever that will spark some interest in you.

Yes, I get bored with my life. A little bit.
Most of the time I think about how boring it is
and how it wouldn't be boring if only I have a lot
of money. Having a lot of money can make our lives
more exciting.

That thought sounds really magical. Yeah, I did thought of going somewhere, like my own fantasy world. It would be filled with things that I have wanted. It would be enchanting, so out-of-this-world. Nevertheless, it's still fantasy.

For me, it's not this extreme, so I don't want to belong to a magical universe... well, sometimes I think it would be fun... but I don't find earthly life boring, just mine. I'm an overanalyzing and not too interesting personality unfortunately. I frequently miss some action from my life, some wacky things.

Now that I'm currently unemployed, its really boring. Everyday single day I'm in front of the monitor. I miss my social life. I miss being tired, busy and thrilled. But I'm making the most of my free time because I know when I become employed, I'm gonna miss this. I agree with you, with the fantasy world thingy. I just surf the net to get an experience of that fantasy world.

When I read your words,I suddenly feel proud of myself.Because I am a happy man.Instead of feeling my life boring,I'm happy everyday. Because I cannot avoid my life.So making me happy everyday is the best thing I can do. I always look for the good side of a thing which would make me happy.Well,if I am always happy,I may live longer than I expected.
