Casual Conversation

Share a story, ask a question, or start a conversation about (almost) anything you desire. Maybe you'll make some friends in the process.

RULES

  1. Be respectful: no harassment, hate speech, bigotry, and/or trolling.
  2. Encourage conversation in your OP. This means including heavily implicative subject matter when you can and also engaging in your thread when possible.
  3. Avoid controversial topics (e.g. politics or societal debates).
  4. Stay calm: Don’t post angry or to vent or complain. We are a place where everyone can forget about their everyday or not so everyday worries for a moment. Venting, complaining, or posting from a place of anger or resentment doesn't fit the atmosphere we try to foster at all. Feel free to post those on !goodoffmychest@lemmy.world
  5. Keep it clean and SFW
  6. No solicitation such as ads, promotional content, spam, surveys etc.

I just have an overwhelming intense feeling of boredom all the sudden and I feel like I need something fun to do.

What do you want to do?

I can think of like a million potential hobbies that I would do, from art and music, to open source software projects, to woodworking, learning languages, photography, write a story or sketch out a comic, etc...

Also, start exercising. Go on walks and lift some weights. You can channel your boredom into something healthy and productive.

What are your current hobbies? Build off of them.

If you like playing video games maybe you'd like to learn modding or game development. Maybe you could get into speedrunning or a competitive scene. And so on...

Finally, try to recognize the relationship between boredom and depression. You may be depressed, and the feeling of boredom can be a side effect of that, causing you to no longer feel the fun and joy in things you've previously liked. If that sounds right, you need to address the root causes of your depression.
