I tend to find myself in this situation most of the time, and I just sit at home, in my room trying to wear off that boredom. I don’t know if I’m the only person this happens to… sometimes you just feel like staying at home, doing no hard work and you don’t feel like interacting with anybody. Normally, I realize this early morning when I wake up and there’s just this feeling I cannot explain… but then I know it is going to be a boring day for me. Usually, I have to find myself busy with some stuff just to reduce the boredom or sense of loneliness.

One thing I like to do the most, is to watch movies and I must admit that I do watch a lot of movies, especially series. Sometimes too you just watch too much and then you become a little fed, and now you have to find something else to do. Quite recently my laptop has been broken, watching movies on my phone isn’t as entertaining as watching it on my laptop.
When I get bored of watching movies, then I take my phone and head to YouTube. I watch a lot of tutorials online and many research just to know all the new things happening, and this keeps me updated on the latest tech around the world. I watch YouTube videos till I exhaust my data, now here comes the ultimate boredom 😮💨. I just sit on my bed watching tv, and we all know watching TV isn’t very interesting over here.

My next move is to look for offline games I can play on my phone lol. At this point, it’s only ‘Candy crush’ that can save me from this boredom but seriously that game can be so annoying at times. Especially when you reach a certain level that is very difficult and you keep on playing over and over again. Then I go over to the next offline game, ‘Join & Clash, it really isn’t an interesting one though but it keeps me going 😅. Even though, I do have a PlayStation 4 at home I’m not really interested in playing alone, so sometimes I invite some friends over so we can play together.

After all these, then I just get tired and fall asleep… I don’t even sleep very well in the afternoon. I think it’s not in my nature to sleep well in the afternoon, so I just take a nap at most 30 minutes then I wake up again. Immediately I wake up, I have to look for food and that’s when I decide to go out. After eating, I don’t go back home again. I just stay with a friend then we talk and maybe roam a little.
Sometimes it’s not easy to kill the boredom, but I think we should manage our alone time very wisely, unlike me… lol. We can use that time to learn new things, just be productive about it, don’t be like me 😅.
I hope there is at least something I can learn from you guys, tell me some of the things you involve in when you’re alone or bored. Thank you for reading, I hope to see you on the next one :)
