[quote:smilestoday:MV8xNDM5NDI5XzM1NzM0NjUxX0M1NEEwMzMz] [quote:Anonymous Coward 6318379:MV8xNDM5NDI5XzM0OTkxNzU5XzJCNDA2MzYx] Bored with your safe, predictable life? Tried everything and found it wanting? Poor little babies. Go to Africa and work in a refuge camp. Walk out your comfortable back door and visit those who need comforting in your community. Go help an addict get clean. I doubt the mamas in Syria are complaining about being bored. You need a perspective shift! There are reasons to be depressed. I don't want a rewind here either. But not because I'm bored. I fucking VASTLY overestimated my ability to handle the shit I signed up to do this roll on the wheel. Bored? Geez! You can read GLP, stalk doom, wallow in catastrophes. Study the past; envision the future. As I used to say to my kids when I heard "I'm bored... "Go baby, go baby. Go! Go! Go! ". Find your inner enthusiasm! Fly your freak flag. [/quote] Yeah, you don't get it and this isn't helpful. I have volunteered in Africa and I volunteer stateside, as well. It is at least one thing that makes me purposeful. But, I have to have a day job to pay the bills too. Unfortunately, volunteering still doesn't mean that the boredom with life and the feeling of "what is the point?" goes away. As a matter of fact, it can exacerbate it. You wonder why some people are put on this earth seemingly just to suffer. This thread is not about self-pity or lack of friends or a life, it's about a deep, intrinsic feeling that there's got to be more to life than what we currently experience and fleeting moments of happiness or filling lives with activities as temporary fixes isn't the answer.

Original Message
For the past several years (I'm 32 years old), I've found myself incredibly bored with everything life has to offer.
Of course there are things I enjoy, for a while, but there is nothing I really look forward to. Everything is so boring to me. Every topic, subject, activity... life itself is boring.
I'm not depressed. I'm just bored with living.
I don't welcome death, but I don't fear it either. And I can tell you right now that I do NOT want to come back again.
It's just too damn boring here.
Anyone else?
