I am bored with life. It's the same drill every week. Work, sleep, sit in front of my computer.

At times it seems like my only joy and my only goal in life is not being mistreated by other people.

What a pathetic existence!

Here my existence consists of: Sleep, wake up, bathe, use computer, eat, watch TV and sleep again.

I don't have a job and never had a date, much less a girlfriend. You could look at my life for one day and basically just repeat it over and over. Such is my life. :cry:

Maybe Life is bored with you.


Baby,
life's what you make it
Celebrate it
Anticipate it
Yesterday's faded
Nothing can change it
Life's what you make it

jeah pretty much

but I must say I'm quite curious how things are going to go down 2012, with all the fuss and movies being made (and the huge influence television has on moronic minds) there will be quite a stir. People will go bananas, I bet some will arrange collective suicides others will build bunkers and all that crap...

I'm just hoping a rift opens up and dinosaurs come back so i can bag myself a velociraptor put a saddle on it and who said Dino Riders was just for kids.

Yeah, sometimes I think if I wasn't obsessive compulsive I wouldn't do anything. It seems that everything is either something I have to get out of the way and the rest is something to fill time. There are no "events" to look forward to. Just things to dread, then filler. Repeat as necessary.
It reminds me of something on The Simpsons. When grandpa was reading his mail and seeing that it was mostly stuff about planning for his death, he says "Maybe if I sleep for a few days some good mail will pile up." Often when I can't get online for a while I look forward to reading my mail thinking some good mail might have piled up, but it doesn't. I've thought about doing that but once someone from highschool asked if I wanted to hang with him and this other guy, but I read the message 15 hours too late, (I think I had less that 5 hours advanced notice). That night I wasn't doing anything special. Just playing Spore and not reading my email. I hate that I have to be ready at a moments notice in case someone remembers I exist once every few years. Considering several of these people said I was the funniest person they ever met, and said so to other people, you'd think I'd be less dispensable.

i'm so bored i'm nearly suicidal/

but when i go back to honolulu, where i prolly won't have an actual residence (i did before, but not the whole time), the boredom will be solved. thank heavens. i came back to oregon so my family could help me with a health issue. it's been 10 looooooong months and i feel like someone's pet in a little box. i have agorphobia, so i pretty much don't go out unless im forced to because i need tobacco or something.

being w/o a place--tho radical, and i certainly didn't choose it last time, proved a boon. in fact, i thought i had eliminated the agorphobia, but not so. i just removed the condition that allows it (not quite as good, but better than the alternative, for me at least).

homeless in a beautiful city on the ocean, or bored and isolated in this box?

for me, a no-brainer choice. however, it's taken me five months to convince my family to send me back. i didn't know i would have to convince anyone, and it's nice they care about me, but i have different priorities. basically, that "live free or die" state motto (forget which state) sums it up nicely.

Definitely bored. I have a fairly fixed routine, sleep-->go to work-->come home and hide from people because I am tired of having dealt with people all day-->watch tv or surf the internet-->go to sleep. Nothing excites me and I can't seem to compel myself to do anything to alter my dreary existence.

My life sucks too.

I've been working out and I look better. Back in high school I was told that I was pretty handsome by many (I even got invitations for modeling) and I think I'm starting to get handsome again.

Unfortunately I'm still a bit weird and I'm starting to get old. Also, there's a lot of things (like any real dating) that I haven't done. I have to admit that some of this stuff that I haven't done fills me with a lot of shame.

It's like a mean joke. I don't really smile anymore when a woman smiles at me. I can already see her getting freaked out at me and then I feel bad for not understanding what it was that I've done to scare here.

So I keep to myself and my life is a boring, monotonous, existence.

Frequently I wish I could die but I cling to the hope that a reasonably good looking girl will stop and think twice.

Yeah, my life is just routine basically. I live in a small town in the middle of nowhere and there is nothing to do within about fifty miles. When we lived in the city I could go places when I wanted something to do but here other than the grocery store or Wal Mart, I'm SOL. Sometimes I just don't want to do the stuff I have to do, then I don't, then it piles up, then I get depressed and overwhelmed and it takes forever to get out from under.

I can't remember the last time I was free enough from stress to actually feel bored with my life, but it's definitely been stagnant for a while now. I started a new job over half a year ago but it feels like just a few months, and I think that's a symptom of too much repetition and routine. Time is flying by, and I don't have enough unique memories to show for it.

Yep. I never used to be this bad, but gradually I've run out of exciting ideas.

My father used to say that it was natural with age to feel less enthusiasm for life - he would point out the difference between a puppy and an older dog - the puppy is easily excited because he's trying everything out for the first time, whereas for the older dog there isn't much that he's not already done, so he just lies there in apathy.

But there's always hope for humans - we can pit our wits against it, push against the tendency to give up. It doesn't take much......just a glimmer of hope that some activity could lead me to new horizons, and a bit of energy and trust in myself to make a start. Sometimes even the most tedious-looking tasks can give me quite a lift once I've completed them and seen an unexpectedly good result. It's worth looking around for some reasonable risks to take - I often find that I've been labelling paths as too risky when they're actually not all that dangerous. I need to dare to take on a challenge occasionally.

I live in a big city, full of entertainment options, people enjoying life, I'm completely lonely, sometimes I wish to live in a small city, it seems I'd feel it would make more sense having nothing to do.

What happens when life gets bored with you?
