how often do you get bored, but really bored? what do you do about it? any idea why boredome exists?

Having something to do is not the problem for most. There are numerous things to be done. It’s the lack of mental stimulation that’s the problem. An intelligent person doing household chores can be bored stiff while washing dishes, or many other tasks because it’s not mentally stimulating or challenging. Even people at work can be bored if the job is mundane and not stimulating growth and challenge to learn and grow. @BananaBrown

@Carissimi That’s an astute observation. Perhaps I should have said I find it annoying when people complain about having nothing to do.
Or about “being bored”.
