I mean, yes, I work and find that fulfilling. I have interests and friends. I have TV shows and movies and podcasts and books that I look forward to. I plan and take vacations.

But the majority of life is just… boring.

Bro, I used to live out of my car. I used to cobble together 5 part-time jobs, some of which weren't exactly legal, trying to make ends meet. I used to eat leftovers the skinny rich people left on their plates at the fancy restaurant I was a server at, and have slept with people just to have a bed and a meal for a night. I know all the crazy folk and old-wives' remedies for most common illnesses because I couldn't afford to see a doctor for years (and we won't get into what happens to teeth when you can't afford that either...)

Boring is a privilege. Yeah, my life some days gets "boring" because there's a routine now, and it's stable, and my bills get paid without worry and there's extra and my health is good and I have insurance. What a gift! How incredibly cool is my life that I can be comfortable and bored some days, and then have the means and ability to go entertain myself, even if it's just by sitting in my garden and feeding the birds, or taking a walk through my safe neighborhood.

Someone in the world would be REALLY happy to have whatever "boring" problems you're dealing with today. Keep that in mind.

These posts aren't wrong as someone who has medical problems I get it but that doesn't mean the day-to-day routines don't indeed get boring and monotonous both can be true.

Yeah, one way to not be as bored is to feel guilty about all the shame you feel when you try to express that boredom to Internet strangers

Most often that how posts go here, you don't get help or understanding, you get shamed, guilt, made fun of or ridiculed for the most harmless things.

It’s definitely not boring if you have kids.

Sign me up for your life. I live in an action movie. Exhausting.

Planned chaos can still be very boring. Just because you maybe busy doesn't mean your still not bored with what life has to offer.

I find solace in the boring times. It gives me time to build up my reserves and concentrate on health and allows me to catch up on my reading. They help me get through the non boring times.

Yes, I agree. The older I get the more I realize that life is generally very over overrated.

Do you ever read op? When I was younger that worked well for me to help the boring times it some what helps now but not nearly as much. I recommend reading books that are from 2000 or earlier. Nothing new.

I agree with this. Boring isn't the worst thing in the world. Also, I bet the OP doesn't have kids or that the kids have aged out of the home. Life with kids is many things (good and bad), but it's not boring.

Maybe bring is the wrong word.

Do you mean monotonous?

Depressing?

That’s how i feel. Especially as I approach 50 and my body is falling apart I just feel gross, uncomfortable and get little enjoyment from anything.

I meant boring is the wrong word.

Be thankful for the absence of turmoil. It’s a blessing.

If the world was flat we would be aware that we are in a terrarium when we ran into the glass wall. Since it's a sphere it gives our minds the illusion of dignity since instead of a wall we end up in the same place we started instead of running into a wall. Additionally we are all stuck in our bodies no matter how much we achieve or build wealth. The world is a dead end and a disappointing joke. The only lifeline is Jesus .

Agree with all of this except the last line, but you do you. Love of family and friends are the lifeline. Also pets.

I would like it to be 2023 boring again, but alas. I’d say it’s more stressful than boring, but I don’t bore easily.
