First, how do you define "bored"?
I always thought it was a feeling of wanting to be occupied but not having anything with which to occupy oneself and having a lack of ideas.
I cannot relate. AT ALL. I am definitely coming to terms with the fact that I am probably on the spectrum and I have no difficulty at any time either 1. Entertaining myself with internal storytelling, reliving memories, going through scenarios that may or may not happen, and general problem solving ideas to myself within my own head and 2. Bringing up an automatic feeling from within that simply answers the question: "what do I desire to do now/next?" Like the question doesn't even get a chance to be formulated or asked of myself. I just HAVE stuff I want to do. Always. I always have ideas and this feeling of what I most want to do next to occupy myself. Sometimes more than one thing fills that spot and so I have several things to choose from at any given moment.
Someone recently said to me "I'm BORED!" and it brought up again this feeling of wonder, fear, and pity for the person who would be plagued so. Are you among the unfortunate people who come by this affliction of boredom? What is bored to you? How do you cope with a head empty like that?
