Is it boredom made this ?
Have you ever thought of boredom? Did you experience that kind of feeling when every hour seems uneventful? Could “doing nothing at all” lead to boredom?
Everyone at one time has experienced some degree of boredom. Children are usually the quickest to say “I’m bored”, but as adults, we experience it, too. Adults are not as easily entertained as children. It is natural for adults to lose interest in something after doing it for a long period of time. So, eventually, adults lose interest in many things that they once enjoyed. Boredom is something that has its role in our life. Everyone can be in boredom, and everyone should be bored.
Don’t you sometimes wonder why you feel bored? It may be a feeling of laziness, weaknesses, or even a lack of mental motivation. Boredom is a state in which we feel tired and slightly annoyed by a certain situation that we find not interesting, exciting or even entertaining. According to Adrian Savage “being bored turns your mind inward and encourages reflection. When you’re rushing about, there’s no time to think. When you bored, there’s nothing else to do but to think”.
People of varying ages have different perception about boredom. Some say it leads to trouble; while others say it doesn’t.
Boredom commonly leads us to strange behavior. People who are bored are not interested in what they are doing. People naturally do not like being bored. They want to be interested in what they are doing. But this does not happen always. It sometimes depends on how an individual cope with boredom and how he/she responds to something that causes boredom. Several people say boredom can inspire people to seek them out in various ways such a making purposeful activities and essential to creativity that perceive to be really meaningful in their lives. On the other hand, other says it can lead to trouble. For them, boredom can make our mind wonder off different things, and you tend to start thinking way too much. Boredom feed our mind thoughts and unfortunately, if these thoughts are bad it can develop and the tendency is, we will act this out. Examples alcohol abuse, drug addiction, compulsive gambling, smoking, vandalism, sex, damage property and some may even pursue serious crimes that anything to cure their boredom state. I would like to point out the real reasons why people are bored.
For me, boredom can lead to trouble. Why? Because when we get bored, it is possible that we try to find something more exciting. Here are some activities we usually do when we get bored. First, boredom con often lead to partying. In time, if teens think that they have nothing better to do, they may drink alcohol and also take some drugs. This type of endless boredom also happens more to men and people with brain injuries and certain psychotic disorders. For drug addicts, fighting boredom can foresee their success in kicking their habit as well. Others go to the nightclubs, to bars and out dancing. Second, boredom can lead to harassment. Many teens and per-teens (but not all) like chatting. Especially aged 11-17, if they get bored they decided to “stalk someone”, or check out their profile. It might start of harmless to them.
