"I was bored.." - Ryukk

10*****************************:

When I'm bored and my mind wonders I'm not bored anymore, I'm more entertained than ever

Ru****:

Now I know why I draw better pictures in class lol

Ry******:

I think this is why a campfire is so pleasant.
A campfire is just enough stimuli so that you don't feel bored but its not so much that it distracts your mind so you can still think about things. In other words a campfire essentially initiates a thought provoking state of mind that gives you that same feeling of boredom but without the dreadfulness that boredom can bring.

Mi*************:

People who use their phones in traffic need to revaluate if they should be driving at all.

De*******:

My Friends: ''come hang out with me I'm boooored.''
Me: ''Good, Stay bored.''

El*********:

It's not like I do like to shock myself when I'm bored. But bored or not I manage to shock myself. The shock is the essential component which always bring me back to the reality, which is after all, electricity HERTZ...

Si****:

"If you are never alone, you cannot know yourself." - Paulo Coelho.

Za*****:

I’d assume some pressed the button of electric shock once out of curiosity and not out of boredom

Sl*******:

I'm pretty sure I'd push the button in that scenario, but it would be out of sheer curiosity rather than boredom.

Ob***********:

To be honest I'd just press the button out of curiosity

Ga*********:

That ending was so fit for: "and as always... thanks for watching"

Ga*******:

I love how majority of the views are because people were bored

Ya***:

Imagine you walking into a room an a guy is talking to a camera four meters away

So********:

Boredom is dangerous for me. If I'm bored, my mind instantly locks onto my existential dread and goes nowhere else until I'm distracted again.

Pl*******:

Makes me think of the black mirror episode white Christmas where the AI girl is trapped for months with nothing to do and she was so bored she would rather be a slave

Ma*******:

A while ago I decided not to use my smartphone at all for a week. Instead I used an oldschool Nokia phone to make calls etc. I had that unpleasant feeling of boredom very often, every day in the 30 min long bus transportation to college, in my algebra class, when I was eating I didn't entertain myself by watching YouTube, I was bored when I was in the toilet... Sometimes I couldn't stand it, and for example, I would grab a shampoo next of me and read the ingredients while I was doing my thing in the toilet, or I played Snake on my Nokia phone in the bus, but I was generally more observant of my enviroment, which is a plus.
But yeah, this video is so true. I play the piano as a hobbie, and that week without my phone I had more ideas of melodies I could make, it felt less boring to learn new stuff. Our phones and social media are trying hard to keep us entertained on our News Feed, by throwing to us countless new and useless information that our lazy brains love. One day I met a friend, she was walking and also scrolling on her phone. "Why do you do that?" I asked. "Walking is boring" she replied, and I didn't like it. Our world is beautiful! If you don't like seeing what's going on around you while you are WALKING, then what?! That screen isn't your life... "And if I was scrolling on my phone too, like you did, we would pass each other without even noticing and say a single 'hi'. Isn't that weird?". She didn't anwser.
Lastly, that particular week I was less lazy in general. I didn't have the option to watch "just one" YouTube video before getting out of bed. I couldn't sleep but I was bored. So, to kill my boredom I could either let my mind wander in thoughts and daydream, or get up and start my day routine earlier, or read a book. All of these options are surely better for your mind than watching an episode of Big Bang Theory or watch stories on Instagram.
These are my thoughts. I totally agree with the video. Our brains are prisoners of that fast life. I don't say that life was better before the Internet 'cause Internet and new technology etc are undoubtedly brilliant inventions! We just need to learn how to use this powerful tool wisely and give our amazing minds some space to shine. Thanks for your time.

Sh**********:

I can play with my fake scenerios literally all day

wh***********:

what if my mind is so entertaining that I am not bored when left with my thoughts? is my brain escaping from something by bombarding me with thoughts?

St*********:

I was bored until this notification popped up

Ha**************:

Imagine going into the desert and just seeing this guy lying there.

Ca******:

When you're in college with no friends and sit in a empty classroom by yourself at lunch for an hour, 5 days a week, then you will know what boredom is.

Ab***:

Whenever I'm bored, I just take a nap or daydream. I love sleeping

Ab**********:

Being bored led me to watching this video, and this video advises otherwise, quite paradoxical

De**********:

“Boredom is healthy”
Me and the boys in quarantine
Fitness is my passion

Rh********:

Sometimes, when I was younger, I made up games with my brothers while we were waiting.

Ja*********:

The existential crisis that I didn't even know I needed has arrived. Thank you, Derek.

IA**************:

From my experience, I think you only hit one aspect of the usefulness of boredom. I think another major benefit of recurring boredom is that it maintains your idea of what boredom is. If you stay entertained/boredom-free all the time, then your mind starts to get more and more sensitive to boredom. If you go far enough down that rabbit hole, certain forms of entertainment also start to seem boring. So you start watching videos at double speed, or you start having a podcast on while playing a video game, etc. At the same time, you can move your threshold for boredom far enough that even useful actions like doing your job at work or completing your homework can seem unbearably boring, which can lead to you being more distracted and less productive. You, in a sense, develop your own form of ADD. I honestly wish I would have come to that realization a long time ago, because walking back my aversion to boredom is a very irritable process, and since I feel both tired and annoyed, it's very hard to concentrate on important tasks while I'm resetting my boredom threshold. I consistently tell myself that I'm going to be more productive, but inevitably find myself fidgeting or doing seemingly ANYTHING other than what I want to be doing. Because this seems so similar to ADD, I'm starting to wonder if it's over-entertainment that has helped lead to so many kids getting diagnosed with a learning disorder these days. Just a guess, obviously.
