Is it normal to be bored with life?

I see nothing interesting about life what so ever. Everything of interest that could be has been done and said before. Life just doesn't interest me anymore. Everything is boring. You're probably going to say life is only boring because you make it boring or something like that, but my idea of interesting is odd and probably weird. All the things that seem unrealistic are things that I find exciting. Like discovering a new land, going to a parallel universe or another dimension. Maybe even something like an alien invasion or stuff you see in sci-fi movies, like mutated squids or giant spiders. Maybe even a apocalypse with vampires or zombies. Sure I would probably die, but at least it would be interesting to see something like that actually happen and experience it. I want something illogical, something science, or no one for that matter, can explain to happen. Something magical. I probably sound like a child living in a fantasy world but hey.

But life isn't like this I know. I see all the crap life has to offer and its boring. Some of the things are fun and can be interesting but after I do them then its like whats next? I have no goals I want to achieve. I'm just sort of here with nothing to die for and nothing to live for.

    LOL this made me crack up ! You sound so bored its hilarious. It also sounds like you have no emotions because if you did, you'd be more driven to have goals, therefore the journey it takes is exciting for you or just an activity would entertain you. But because there's no emotion here, you're just like okay so? It's hard to enjoy things when you have no feelings and you don't wanna fake it, we have enough fake pple in life already. And it's hard to try to gain feelings,I don't know how that works. Hmmmm so I don't know what to tell you as a solution based on the fact that it's hard to please someone without emotions.

    Just read about what you imagine and embrace it, value what you like and have, don't expect too much out of life cause that's when you get bummed when the outcome wasn't so great.

      I'm glad you found it funny, even though it wasn't suppose to be, but whatever.xD

      Its not as if I don't get entertain, it just that I get bored with very easily. But maybe that is my problem, a lack of emotions or maybe not enough emotions. Then again, it could just be that as of now, the world sucks

    Our culture values stimulation and so we've been sold stimulation (and over-stimulation). It's not surprising that there's a come-down from that.

    I don't understand why the media doesn't try to see us balance and peace because, ultimately, it'd make us happier.

    Maybe there's no money in us all being happy.

    Thats just life I learned this along time ago. Magical things dont really happen and even if it sucks sometimes you have to wake up to reality and except it for what it is and make the best of it. for me it was my kids, they are the real magic in this world

      Yes, you're absolutely right, that is just life, but it doesn't hurt to want a little more than that, does it? You seem very content with what you have and how life is, and I am very happy for you. I can't help but think that maybe there is a little bit more to life then what meets the eye.

    life is getting bored because you can't be the hero you dreamed.

    Let's face it, life is fucking boring. The people who claim that life is exciting and worth living are just deluding themselves.

    If someone offered me a bullet to the head, I'm 95% sure I'd say yes.

      Yeah that could pass the time, wouldn't make all things seem all that interesting. I get bored with doing things quickly.

        I kind of feel the same way you do. I'll start something then 10 minutes later I'm thinking, "This is boring." -.- or I'll be thinking about the next thing I could do that's better.

        The only thing I really stick to is reading and watching TV/movies but they come in spurts. I'll watch an entire TV series and then I won't watch anything else for a while. Then I'll read 10 books in a row and then stop. I also daydream a lot about the stuff you said in your post & what I've just read/watched XD e.g. vampires, zombie apocalypse, fantasy worlds..

        It ends up upsetting me because I know none of it will ever come true, but it's the only thing I get truly excited about. So I was thinking, if it isn't going to happen in real life, I'm going to create it myself, i.e, become a writer. haha

          When I start things I do tend to finish them even if I'm bored with it. Sometimes it can be very upsetting seeing that the world is not like that, but that's just reality. How ever, there is this one thing that I find very interesting and very real. That is the theory of there being many worlds. This has something to do with quantum physics.

          I don't know much on it but there is this thing were some think that every time a decision takes place, the entire universe divides as many times as there are possible outcomes. All universes are identical except for the outcomes. But it is not possible for any of these worlds to interact with each other. But if they could that would be awesome.

          I only find it interesting because its kind of like (but not quite) a parallel universe or another dimension and there is a high possibility that its real. but then again with all the equations and different scientific principles involved with it, its kind of boring. :P

            lol. > "but then again with all the equations and different scientific principles involved with it, its kind of boring." xP

            I was enthralled until that point, but then again if I could be the person to prove that theory, even if I went mad by the end, it would be worth it.

              Actually figuring all that out would be mind boggling and I would probably lose interest in it. If someone else did figure it out and there was the opportunity to explore one of those other universes then that would be interesting. I would want to be the first one to go.

    Maybe you need a new perspective on life. Just because something has been done, does not mean you can't to it again. Go discover a new land. It may not be new for everyone, but it would be new to you.

      You make sense and all but really, I find it pointless and boring to do something over. Sure its fun doing the same thing over but after a while I'll get bored with doing it. Especially if its something where the outcome is so predictable or always the same even if you go about doing it in different ways.

        Yes, predictability is boring. Step outside your comfort zone. Challenge yourself to do things you don't normally do.

    Try to pass through a looking glass, life would be wonderful. With chessboards, hatters, reversed physical laws.
    I sometime wish I can do it and I feel better.
    All kidding aside, I think you can find some distraction and amusement in your fantasy. If the whole world is boring, maybe your own world is better.

    I feel exactly the same way in the middle of the term, and I'm getting bored of the same daily routine. What I do to change it is plan my schedule so I always have something fun to do. The reason we have these fantasies is because we have nothing to do and we're bored, but once we are enjoying ourselves then life doesn't seem so boring after all. If you still feel the same way, maybe you have depression?
