What do you guys do when you feel very bored?

I have decided to stop using Tiktok and Instagram so much and now I feel umcomfortably bored. I have now so much free time and nothing comes to my mind that could cure this boredom. Not even stuff that I used to like doing like drawing, dancing, gaming, watching shows or doing sports.

Nothing scratches this itch. But I have promised myself that I will use less instagram reels and tiktok. 

Yesterday I went out with my friends and I felt fine. I didnt feel like I had to use my social media constantly. I was free. Now when I am alone there is this void I cant fill with anything. 

Does anyone feel this way? 

What do you guys do to fill this boredom? I feel like I am drowning. 

I honestly hate sitting still and having nothing to do.

When I'm really bored, I start to write things down. Either in a journal or in a notebook. I'll write down anything, my thoughts, story ideas, goals, even checklists. I also started making blogs and my own forums here too.

Always rolling with the punches and pushing on through

@🎃Spooky Synth Vibes🎃

This is a great idea. 

Usually I am very lazy but you put an idea in my head. 

Sometimes when I start a journal I have a hard time continuing it or pushing myself to write something down. 

Do you struggle with that as well? 

Plus I live with my family so I am scared of them reading my notes and journal entries. I thought about writing very private stuff on my Ipad or phone.

@saba

Yeah I sometimes struggle with that as well. When that happens I either change the subject or write about what I see. Kinda like a status update. But sometimes you're just not able to write anything and that's alright. Just writing one sentence or word can help.

The status idea is great. You gave me a great idea. I will try that out instead of grabbing my phone each time.

yeah meta and tiktok have fried our dopamine receptors. it takes awhile to get used to, but you can get back to baseline. and then you'll be able to do the things you used to love again. stick with it!

I second the writing things down, journaling and painting. with no real goal in mind. write with your non-dominant hand. draw with both hands at the same time. get weird with it lol

@Kayla⟡

Thank you :) 

I will try to do that. 

When did you stop using Meta and Tiktok so much? Was it 3 months ago or recently?

@SafeInSanity

I wish I could get really drunk but sadly I am on medication. I have to be careful drinking :0

I lay down and either stare at the ceiling or try to have a nap. Outdoors, I find a place to sit down and just... look around. I used to wait for the bus back home from school like that. Just sit down and do nothing. Look at random places, see if the imagination can be poked a little bit

id usually start playing a game or cleaning, if not any college work. or writing! sometimes when im forced to stay still and restricted internet usage, ill start developing my characters and writing. cant handle myself too much when im bored so at minimum ill probably put a video on in the background or try to sleep until i can do smth!

It was you who led the world to its destruction.
But you cannot accept it.
You think you are above consequences.

@seukaramusyu

I could force myself do that. Just sitting in silence and bearing the boredom instead of grabbing my phone immediately.

@DARKx_xCUPID

Sameee. 

It's been going on for years. Before I felt frozen because of my depression and undiagnosed OCD but now since I am getting treatment I am still stuck in the same loop without that empty feeling. I just feel bored but not empty. 

I only feel fun when I do things with my friends but when I do them alone I feel like I am dying from boredom.

@saba the loop part is understandable like I think I get what ur saying like I'm not sad or anything I just feel like everything I use to like has no purpose anymore like it's good for a bit but other than that nah the friend part I'm the complete opposite even if I talk to friends or not I'm still stuck at that same feeling everything is boring ✌💔
