How To Fix Boredom?

[Naltic]

So I have found myself in a conundrum, I am extremely bored and I can't bother playing anything, all I do right now is just brainrot myself by doing the same activity, thinking it will change anything; that being I open my browser and just stare.

So here is my question: What is your best way to fix boredom?

For me it’s cooking or reading. Writing is also a great practice.

Jerking off. /j

Genuinely, sleeping and or a variety of hobbies are a good way to stave off boredom, doing too much of one thing is dampening but being versatile with what you have can really lighten the mood.

I just live with it.

Photography, even if you're not good at it.
Just go out and take pictures of scenery you find cool/beautiful, I usually take pictures of any new place I go to

I already write, but I see writing more as a "NEED TO WRITE" rather than a "WANT TO WRITE" and so that leads me into not really writing as a hobby more so as an emotional experience. That being said, I do want to learn how to cook, but with school and all that, I just don't really have the time. But who knows, maybe I am just making excuses.

Nah I didn’t learn how to cook until I was done with college. You’ll find the chance.

stop watching brain rot they freaking up your reward system ,so basically quit that and try your usual hobbies .That worked for me at least

 

[Kamako]

Try writing a list of little jobs you've been meaning to do, then do some of them. And if that sounds too boring, it'll at least make fun stuff seem more appealing

I'm completely serious when I say this. Check your testosterone level. Having low T can turn you into an apathetic shell who just gets through each day on autopilot with no joy/motivation like an empty husk. Libido is the least of your worries.

Assuming it's not a long-term issue, doing anything that gets me out of my own head usually tends to work for me. Ideally some kind of physical activity.

Sports or Yoga are my personal go-to, but dealing with chores I've been putting off, taking a long walk outside, maybe going to a café to people-watch - things along those lines work well, too.
Anything but the usual routine of staring at a screen, even if it's out of your comfort zone.

I unironically have very high testosterone and i still feel like an empty fucking husk most of the time. It has nothing to do with muh low t levels (at least for me idk about anyone else).

I don't watch brainrot, meant it more so as a term that describes the pointlessness of the things I did.

Yeah and it’s quite easy to boost if you just follow a really simple life style.

I usually draw, but sometimes the boredom is so bad you have to boot up that Civ game just to feel something

Same, learned to cook after college and had my first apartment. I found/find making pizza the most fun: it only takes two rises (after first kneading, next on pan), and there is a lot of margin of error, compared to other baking. I tried to make other bread, but gave up ;_; It's hard! I like pizza more anyway :3

Nice I made all sorts of things too including chicken, rice , pasta, steak, fish, shrimp, pancakes and other stuff

lol, I am 19, I highly doubt my T levels are low, and I am quite positive of that.

Yea, that is all fun too :) Especially pancakes! Now that I think about it, cooking might be a great suggestion on a biological level because boredom can be a lack of stimuli I guess? I remember reading something about how powerful the sense of smell is to memory and such. Honestly, the smell of rising yeast is AMAZING to me and I think I enjoy the smells more :3

Yeah, marinating chicken is by far the most fun thing I’ve ever done while cooking. So much stuff you can do.

 

[Nidstang]

It's not boredom, it's depression and losing interest in your hobbies. Happens to most of us. You kinda just give up on your old hobbies/passions, and develop new ones

Buy new sex toys

Oh man, marinades are so much fun to experiment around with.
Made some kickass buttermilk fried chicken with a spicy crust and some soy- and oyster-sauce marinated airfryer Karaage recently - getting the marinade just right makes such a massive difference every time. Love it.
Looking for a good way to prepare and marinade tofu that doesn't involve sesame oil atm.

Try stepping out of your comfort zone with a new hobby or pursuit, that works for me when I'm in a rut.
