If you're not bored right now, what exactly is entertaining you, or at least taking your mind off of the reality that there's currently no entertainment to be had? Most people are always thinking, right? What are you thinking about, that doesn't leave room for boredom? Tell me your secrets to being not-bored, I'm dyyyinggg... |

Well, this is an anime forum. Pretty sure everyone's gonna say watch anime/read manga. Which is also what I recommend. |

There are also plenty of manga, you just haven't looked hard enough. |

Being creative. Perhaps you should try to explore some artistic expression? It's very stress relieving. |

I'm bored as hell too in class atm T_T I just browse MAL, do some modding, post in clubs/threads or chat on discord. If your boredom is really bad you can always try looking for a new game to get addicted to. |

Chandela said: Being creative. Perhaps you should try to explore some artistic expression? It's very stress relieving. My artistic abilities are depressingly poor, and I certainly wouldn't be able to find any sort of motivation or desire to improve myself. There's also economic and time restrictive factors... (I'd have to pay and allocate time to taking any sort of artistic self-improvement course, or at least purchase relatively expensive equipment; things like musical instruments just aren't cheap enough for the casual fling I'd use it for). Aka, more trouble than it's worth; I'd be better off just getting too drunk to comprehend boredom. Ulquiorra said: Watch anime. Dunno how you can't find something to watch when you completed less than 300. I have a pretty good idea of what type of anime/manga can entertain me, and I simply can't find any more. From taking other peoples' recommendations, I had to drop the last 5 or 6 anime I tried. |

Get a job in all seriousness though I go to mal when I'm bored. Normally I either watch anime, read manga. When that fails I watch movies or tv shows on netflix. I also play video games sometimes. Ofc now that my desktop is dead..I mostly play browser based games, or retro games using an emulator. |

Alcohol works quite good if you are in a really shitty place, but lateley I've felt that it doesn't have the same effect on me anymore. Music is good to have in the backgound. |

Music, streams, reading through ICD, new discoveries etc and going out briefly for something to eat sometimes has an effect. Usually I play a game but I've gotten so much worse in aoe 3 that I don't want to play and I got rsi from osu so I restrain myself from playing it to some extent. |

That is perhaps the most pathetic thing ive ever heard. Alcohol is fun, or rather the social aspect of drinking is fun. Where as sitting at home, getting plastered by yourself is depressing as fuck. Its classic escapism. |

don't use your internet browser for a week, your probably are always on youtube or facebook and have the world updated 24/7 you should relax with a nice game like europa universalis IV, Tropico 4 and Democracy 3 if not just do something you haven't considered doing like running or watching weird shit like this NSFW: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IeMvUlxXyz8&ab_channel=MIAVEVO NSFW! NSFW! NSFW!

C'mon guys, I need your non-obvious secret super OP methods of being not bored. Don't hide it from me D; Yaamare said: Murder people in Yandere Simulator and then cry in your attic because that's cringy shitty junk. I tried to play that game, but the teacher keeps whupping my ass horribly, so fk that. LadyYuuki said: Play video games, watch anime, read manga, try and do some cleaning around the house, go for a jog. Stay productive if you're bored and of course watching anime is being productive because you have so much to finish. Senpai would know. I actually do all that stuff, but I'm still bored. Well, I don't jog, because my treadmill broke, and if I jog without anime or something playing, I instantly die of boredom. juui said: Being creative or doing artistic things can quickly cure your boredom + it seeps time away quickly.

That site redirected me to some really bad card trick site, that tried some sort of card trick that failed miserably. |

Since you're so bored by the real world maybe indulge in a little foolishness. Go out and do some karaoke or something that forces you to express yourself outwardly. Also if you have any fears conquering them can be pretty exciting. Put yourself in situations that put you out of your comfort zone or are out of the ordinary. My main suggestion would be when you give something a try not to give up on it after just a short period of time. You may have to break down some mental walls in order to lessen this boredom. It may not be fun at first but after awhile maybe you may start to enjoy yourself! ;) |

I've given it a shot, the times I'm most bored tend to be at night, when it'd basically wake up the entire apartment complex.

Get to know them better Making friends is like, the most troublesome thing thinkable, and probably will be for my entire life. And I do mean actual friends, and not just friendly acquaintances. It's generally not worth the effort though, because 99.99% of people are boring, so I'd have to make ~1000 friends before probability suggests that I would have an interesting friend. And I'd probably be buried by then. RedTie said: Right now? Pouring free time into gaming. Just sitting down and forgetting about everything else after a good work week.

OP needs a hug. *hugs* You're probably bored because you're not challenging yourself enough. You should read some good books (not manga), learn to play an instrument, pick up another language, probably not Japanese pick something more latin-based like Spanish or hell Latin, build things... |
