is life boring?

[Michelstaedter]

I think and think that maybe my life is boring and yes, I don't do many things, but in general, if it's not with money or with a little extroverted, creative personality, in the end everything becomes tedious, boring, repetitive, tiring. I like watching sports, but deep down I think it's boring, unless you were an athlete, as such I have experienced it and it distracts you, sometimes even if it is routine and if there are no injuries, you enjoy it, even better if you get paid for it, but most athletes are stupid, they think about getting a tattoo, having an exciting love relationship, sex, depending on the sport, drugs and everything related to experiencing intense emotions to make life a little more fun, but deep down that is not feeling a certain boredom?

I got to play video games and there are some that when they are online are entertaining if you are more or less good, but if not, it is frustrating, tiring, annoying and still, like life itself, you can cope and I think that life is not like that in general, because as I read one day from another person in another forum, most of us are like "NPC's" who have to work many hours a week to be able to have a mediocre salary and in the end that is not enough, it is not enough for you to try to give a 180º turn to your life, so the same damn routine will be like this until you die and with luck you will find things that distract you and entertain you, but mostly it will be routine, worse if you have the misfortune of being depressed and find some lucidity in that life sucks, because yes, certainly I think it sucks, the rest are additives, things that we feel, we imagine. I would have liked, for example, for my pets to have lived many years and died peacefully, but some left much earlier, others with some sign of pain, deterioration and then I realize that life is not worth it, at least my love for them makes me think that it was not worth it for them to suffer so much and so in general, if we love something, we prefer that it does not suffer than that it suffers because of us and sometimes whim.

In conclusion, I think life is boring, or at least that's how I learned to look at it, because you can't be what you want, but what you can be.

More or less. Nothing is without monotony. Art comes down to the technical skill of the artist which to me is inherently boring. Yes, you get some satisfaction here and there, but it's not enough for the hours you spend in the same position. Life is a dull story. Ppl go to school, graduate, get a job or not and die. Some might have kids. The nuance of their persistence and individualism might be interesting, but as a whole the story arcs are horrendous.

For me, the description of 'tedious' fits better. I can get bored but, I've become much better at occupying my brain. Given the choice, I can lose hours, days to being on this forum, playing computer games etc. I can still sometimes lose myself in my work still.

Life is more tedious to me because of the vast amount of things we need to do to sustain life. In terms of financially and healthwise. Either working to earn money or working on the upkeep of ourselves and our living environment. It's all that shit that bores the hell out of me and- like you say- that's unavoidable unless you have vast independent wealth and/ or, people who take care of all your needs.

Weirdly though, for those where that applies- those who are able to be NEET, I imagine boredom is a big problem. It's like we often want what we don't have.

Life is beautiful and fascinating, I always find new things to do.
Problem is that I'm poor and I have to work. But the moments I don't have to do so I got too much things to do. My lifetime won't be enough to do all the things I want to do.

It's worse than boring. It's unspeakably painful.

 

[FuneralCry]

It really is to me, I see existing as so futile and so undesirable, I'll just always see it as the most cruel, futile burden to exist and I just wish I never suffered at all more than anything. I just find it unbearable how a human can suffer in this existence for so long, I'd just never wish for any of this and I'm always so tired of being burdened with this existence, I really have never had any interest in existing, to me existing really is only suffering.

I remember being given a diary when I was about eight
I looked at it , all the blank pages of days to come
And felt a deep sort of sadness and emptiness.

Most people's lives are drudgery no matter how they present their existence on social media. I could live with drudgery if I also didn't have the deep desire to cease existing.
