Bore-Doom

[Johnny]

You know what I'm talking about. That frightening, paralyzing, aweful sense of boredom... :lol:

Problem is, I pretty much just follow my nose with no real agenda or plan to do anything but something different...and this time I've thought about trying to do it a little differently. But I don't really know how to go about it any other way.

What do you do when the boredom monster finds itself on your back again?

:sombrero:

[snarled]

Hmmm. I used to smoke pot. :( Say goodbye to motivation.

I know exactely what your talking about Johnny, I'll actually gat all geared up and ready to do something, anything...but am then at a lost.

I find music helps me alot here.

Buy a new C.D (something you normally wouldn't listen to), and play it at a loud volume while you go for a drive (to a different beach/park/town)?

[Arcael]

I find a new game to play, watch the science channel, go to town and look for somethin cool to buy, or possibly sleep :D

Determine three exciting and dangerous things to do, and one bland and benign one.
Write them on little slips of paper and put them in a hat.
Draw one out and do what it says...

Driving around seems to be a common thing among INTPs... I do it too, and so does an INTP friend of mine, although I don't know any other people who do it... anyone else?

Arrrr... "Boredom's not a burden anyone should bear." So true.

[flan2dave]

A more generalized version of driving would be calling it curious wandering, which one could do in the bookstore, on the net, or...while driving.

For tonight, I took a second tour on the deviant art website. Interesting site that is, I'm not sure why I developed a taste for it. Intrigued by the unusual and talent-oriented communities perhaps.

[Dunearhp]

I do the aimless driving thing. I've found a lot of interesting places like that.

Often I like to find somewhere where I can see the horizon and just walk. It is great for stimulating ideas.

Hello Boredom, my old friend...

I like that song.

I'd probably just tell him to bugger off. I've got stuff to do. And then she'd probably tell me all of her problems and good friend that I am I'll probably listen to it. And silently wish she'd leave.

[Psychosexual Ptyalism]

I usually don't acknowledge enuui's existance.
Probably because I confuse it with lonliness.

Wow, I'm overly decjected.

In other cases when I do realize that boredom reigns, I sing (provided I'm sequestered), or compose song lyrics/poetry/prose etc.

[Sam172]

I sit down somewhere with a mug of tea. Then I sit on the internet thinking about what to do.

Then I go and sand a large branch off a tree. Then I go and sit with another mug of tea and think what to do again.

Just like now o_o

Drugs

[jimkopelli]

If I'm bored... I sleep. Then I'll wake up, maybe read something... then probably sleep again. I'm not saying it helps, but it's something to do.

[Nindy]

Ah, sweet boredom.. :ph34r:
Mostly just listening to music, surfing the internet, fantasizing, writing, sometimes going for a walk and aimlessly walk around... And then turn into a zombie and kill people... yeah... good days.. :cheers:

Hey I thought I was the only one that did this.

[Birdsnest]

Ok,
I have wondered if the little piles of unfinished projects around my house were like 'bank accounts' of things to do in case I ever ran out of things to do. Its like I want to know there is ALWAYS something to do, and maybe thats why I can't tackle everything there is to do. Gawd, what would happen if I really ran out of things, those piles are almost like a security to me, and ensure that if i ever totally get bored, there would be something to do.

When bored: I will often try to clean, or do a project, shop online, watch tv, drive around, post online, write at Xanga, have a nap.
