I would say when I see status updates on fabs saying "so bored today" - it puts me off as I think if you cannot find anything useful to do and allow life to pass you by being bored, then I would not be wanting to meet you.

Not everybody who has a bored moment... is boring though.

I generally don't get bored but I will find things boring. If I'm bored with a book then it means I'm not enjoying it so I stop reading it. Boredom is not a negative and I don't enjoy doing something just for the sake of it.

'A Philosophy of Boredom' by Lars Svendsen is an interesting book on boredom.

I'm a busy person with myriad things to do so I don't get bored, but sometimes I choose to be still, quiet, alone. That's an entirely positive state of mind, not at all "boring".

We made our own fun. Crazy carts from pram wheels. Forts from cardboard boxes. Games with elastic.

No it’s not true, intelligent people are far more likely to get bored than those of lower intelligence, doesn’t mean they’re boring, it means they require more stimulus.

I actually like being bored sometimes, because if I'm bored I'm not anxious and overthinking.

Also, when I'm bored I seem to be able to do the monotonous but essential tasks that I can't manage the rest of the time.

Precisely! Tail end of last year, I had all the floors in my home replaced. Had to move all my things round the place, out of the way of the fitters. Whole week out of my life, hard physical labour, basically moving house several times in successive days. No time to sit down, sleeping on floors, mostly spent soaked in sweat... and one of the most boring weeks of my life.

Nah.

I'm rarely bored as I keep myself super social and super busy. In my rare quiet times I'm not bored I'm likely just knackered.

Some people just have less to do with their time. Less commitments, less family and friends. That doesn't make then ALL boring. Some people are obvs just boring though.
