When you're bored do you ever just sit in front of your stove and watch the flame. I'm not allowed to go anywhere right now and I've been sitting by my stove all day and I just want the fire to grow bigger but I like living in a house so I restrain myself.

What do you do when you're bored?

No gas here so no.

Depends what kind of bored I am. If I'm bored and tired I'll just watch some TV series online or something.

If I'm bored, rested and alert I will do something more active. I always have ideas. I want to convert an old table to a chess table where the squares painted on it and I want somehow to make the pieces as well.

I usually clean or walk around. I have trouble just lounging and watching tv or a movie. I usually have too much on my mind to just let go.

I either do stupid things that I'll regret later, draw, or go on the internet.

I would love to get bored some times.....I own a 10 acre farm & house that needs more repairs & work & cleaning & then I enjoy doing crafts & always have a friend's birthday coming up that I'm making something for.....I need more hours in the day to get the things done that I want to.
When I'm not doing something....I'm reading books or working on a Bible study.

....no time to get bored.

I stare at my ceiling fan...a lot.

Stare out the window at the trees.

Watch my cats sleep...and wonder why I can't sleep like that

I watch a lot of TV but find that I eat too. No good for me, and it shows.

I read or go online. Clean, spend time with kids. I get some down time, but not to the point of a restless boredom.

I live close to a hospice and volunteer there. I do whatever I am capable of. There is some training involved too.

A worthy choice.
Thanks for this!

I just sit in front of the computer when I'm bored. I really need to get over some of my psychological issues so I can go out and enjoy life. Depression is so debilitating and I don't like saying it because I normally think it sounds like an excuse. EMDR therapy helps me a lot.

I am bored almost constantly. Very little interests me any more. I get on PC when I have down time. Or I fiddle with my phone. Do housework. Also, I keep a Things to Do List.

I "work" at the computer so if I get tired/bored of that/sitting here for so long I shift to the TV.
