Sure, I think everyone gets that way. At a certain point life stops becoming "new", and it can a bit tough when you realize that things don't excite you with their novelty like they used to.

I think life just has a certain cycle to it...at first we're wide-eyed and wowed by everything, then we slowly become more attuned and "used" to everything. It's a natural process.

I think the answer, if you're happy with friends, family, and career, is to find other ways to connect to people. Volunteer at a local soup kitchen or homeless shelter. Find people who are struggling and make a difference in their lives, even if it's a small one.

Or else do something for yourself...find something new about the world to learn. There's so much out there that nobody knows everything, and it's amazing how much finding things out can bring the "spark" back into life.

By the way, a lot of people in your shoes do some pretty drastic things, like blaming those close to them for their boredom. You should feel pretty good about yourself that you realize that there are simpler ways to liven things up in your life.
