FabSwingers.com forum: You're bored?...

By (user no longer on site) OP
over a year ago

This is something that I see regularly both on the forum and also in profile updates.

On the rare occassions that there is not an immediately obvious task to attend to there's always something occupying my mind or keeping me active. It's not always a welcome or pleasurable activity (although I can almost always come up with a way of procrastinating something I don't really want to do, like making a thread for the forum for instance) but if I am not content reading, listening to music/podcasts or watching a video there's always something that needs to be done.

Hmmmmmm... That might explain why I am always knackered I s'pose...

But anywho. Do you get bored? Are you always on the go? Or are you just cruising and everything seems to be working out fine without having to think about it? (I'm not jealous of the latter! At all. Honest!)

I’m a complete lazy arse and can spend hours doing next to nothing. I watch shit tv or google random stuff that pops into my head. I’m very rarely bored though. My expectations are quite low I think

There's being bored in the moment and being bored with the mundaneness of life.

It's two different things.

I wouldn't say I get bored in the sense of I've never got anything to do but sometimes the things I've got to do bore me.

I think most people who post on a forum often and daily must be in some kind of long term state of boredness.

When the mundanities cant be escaped here makes an excellent distraction tool to exhibit silliness or just 'talking'. Says She of the always here and often crowd.

I never really get bored as such there is always something I can do. I suffer with motivation when the choices are overwhelming so just flop out.

Can do or have to do? How many of those "somethings" are you really doing of your own free will?

Not many in my case. I even take up things that I don't really want to do that much. I just do it because it's slightly more bearable than the alternative.

I’m rarely bored as in the nothing to do meaning of the word.

I do however get bored of doing things of a repetitive nature, I find Fabs falls into this category which is why I don’t login for periods of time.

Maybe because I’m quite full on when I’m into something I tire of it easily, not too sure, but it’s feasible.
