As for boredom, I have found that in the past several years, I've lost interest in many of the things I used to love. I still sort-of like them, but I don't feel the pleasure I used to feel, and I bore quickly. In some cases, I'm sure it's that I've seen it all before, and nothing new is being shown. But I think something's making me this way, perhaps due to aging (I'm not old--I'm 44--but I'm not as young as I used to be, either), and it worries me how the rest of my life is going to be. I don't know if this is the same kind of thing you're going through, but figured I'd post my experiences in case it helps.
