Some Better Day...
Can you be bored to death?bored to death
Bored v Boring?
As my brain degenerates I’m starting to wonder whether I’m getting bored or getting boring?
So I turn to the psychology books to find out that “people will sometimes do reckless, stupid things when they suffer from chronic boredom”.
According to ‘Psychology Today’People who are easily bored are more likely to engage in dangerous sports, be sexually promiscuous and engage in drug and alcohol abuse. All of these things will reduce average life expectancy, but is that dying of boredom or dying of excitement?
The punditsat the big University College London go on to say that people who complain of “high levels” of boredom in their lives are at double the risk of dying from from heart disease or a stroke than those who find life entertaining...so that’s summatelse to look forward to!
Futher research shows that the boredom-death connection might have formed because bored people were more likely to feel unfulfilled, unmotivated, and unhappy, which could lead to unhealthy behaviors like excessive drinking and smoking, overeating, and drug use.....
Clearly, it is not actual boredom that is causing people to die...
If boredom kills, then perhaps cultivating curiosity heals.?
But if You are just plain boring then what are the signs?
Maybe the problem is You?
Do your friends, and co-workers seem not to want to be around you?
Do you suffer from Banality?
Do you have a slow thyroid? =feeling tired all the time, gaining weight and being sensitive to cold?
Then it’s probably You and should be automatically classed as a major bore and a drain on society so should stay inside to protect everyone.
Like me, if you find it very painful to be in the presence of people who are dull and lack energy and enthusiasm then there is hope as it’s been proven that Interesting people disclose more of their thoughts and feelings than boring people do.
Right, that’s that cleared up, I’m off to have a chat with the toaster!
