AN INTROVERT'S VIEW ON BOREDOM

in Hive Learnersyesterday

Boredom has always been something I dislike greatly. Meeting me, you will realise that I am a very quiet person and, as such, I will always be bored and used to boredom. I love staying alone, mostly because I don't like to talk to anyone for a long stretch, as talking for long sometimes makes me feel bored and exhausted. When I start a conversation, I often prefer it to finish on time so that I can rest; too much talk is always something that gets me tired and bored. If you have something to say to me, just give me in summary and make it snappy, rather than trying to give me the whole gist in detail.

Boredom is a state that naturally comes from a feeling of impatience with an activity or from doing nothing at a particular time. A person can be bored even when they are engaged with an activity, as long as they feel tired of the activity. You can be bored even when you are doing an activity that you love so much, it just depends on the mood you are in or your state of mind at that time. I love watching movies a lot, but I tend to get bored sometimes with watching movies or doing other things that I love. Boredom is not only from staying idle but also from impatience or tiredness from an activity at a particular period in time.

Usually, when I get bored, I find I tend to find myself eating more than I usually do at this time. I will cook much so that I will consume a lot, so that it will help me sleep. I also sleep a lot during the boredom period. I will sleep and not want to get up from bed throughout the day, mostly I am bored with life, and I will feel sleeping through it will help me heal from my boredom.

Another thing I do very often is to go on Instagram to watch entertaining as well as educational reels, and whenever I find any that my friends will be interested in, I will share it with them, and they to me too. This does not waste my productive time mostly but makes me feel addicted to social media.

One time, I was very bored, one of my then Ex had a shop at the market close to my house, I will go to her shop and sit for hours with her talking and reminiscing the time we had together, this Ex of mine was already married and her husband was always away from home, so I will go to her and will keep her company because I was usually bored at the time, it almost became like I was dating a married woman, but I will always thank God for the fact that He made me the way He made me, having my conscience well alive to be able to control myself and feelings even when I started missing her, one time I cried while sitting with her because I felt like I messed up my chances with her I will give anything if it was going to change the situation with her.

We all get bored once in a while, all we need to learn is how we can manage our boredom and try to understand how and what activities we can do when we are unoccupied or tired of an activity to which has brought us to a bored state. For me the answer to boredom is always to sleep or to eat.

Sleep is always very good to cure boredom, you will be able to relax your spirit, soul and body

Your own technique of coping with boredom deserves to be studied 🤣, going all the way to have a physical chat with your ex that is married, wow, this could have lead to lot of misunderstanding and just the slightest misconduct, you could have found yourself in a very complex situation with her or her husband.

Watching entertaining reels is quite amazing until it gradually becomes addiction.

Every person has a different nature and they get rid of their boredom in different ways, so here I am saying that the time that is coming is much more special and interesting for all of us and the good thing is that all of us should definitely take some time out of our busy lives so that we can go for a walk in a place with natural scenery.
