Is it normal to find life boring?

Maybe this stems from me not doing enough of anything, but I find life really boring. Maybe it's just because what I do during the day is go on the laptop, and occasionally go to the gym. That's it. Yeah, I'm a bit of a loser. I spend too many hours on the laptop like it's an addiction, I just need to find something else to do but I don't know what.

I don't have a job because I slip in and out of depression. I don't socialize, not because I don't want to, but because it's very difficult when I'm depressed. It's manageable when I'm not depressed but it's still kind of hard. I want a girlfriend but I don't know if anyone would accept me because of my aspergers, but my social skills are getting better.

Maybe taking up a hobby will help, but I have almost no interests. Life feels a lot better at the moment though, but if I wasn't so bored all the time that would make life great. Any suggestions? Thanks guys.

    ok before there are anymore posts (should have posted this first), if you have aspergers then its hard to do things like everyone around you. even with those who do have asperger, you dont do or see things in the same way but is closer and is easier to talk to for a short while. if you dont know what aspergers is, google it, then make your post.
    or reply and i will try and explain what i know from my own experience/
    ps to the author. if you want send me a message. i may be able to help in some way.

    You haven't replied to anyone's comments?
    So either that's the anti-sociable part right there, or you are not interested in the topic?
    It can't be because you are not online, as that was the thing you said that you actually DO often.

    I'll tell you now that when you're even older (I'm just going to assume you're young?) and once you have done most things, other than your 'memories' most of us are just saving for another holiday usually months or years away! During that time, all is not that exciting :(

    From what I've worked out in life, the best way to be happy and get back into life (or even start living) is to actually plan something for the future.
    ie Even that 'holiday' idea, makes you think, well this will cost money, so I need to get a job and save.

    But there are other ways to plan for the future without spending too much.
    You stated you want a girlfriend. Hooray, something to plan for :)
    To get there you'll have to get out of the house. Basically the chances of a romantic relationship happening from the knock on your door, are slim or next to none!
    Choose places that interest you. But more importantly, choose places that you feel might hold the person you are interested in. If you want a sporty girl, get into sports. If you want a fun loving type of girl, maybe go out to nightclubs. If you want a homely sensitive girl, make friends with everyone you meet - generally friends of friends seemed to be a great area to meet people.

    You just got to know what you want to do in the future.
    Your reply? Hmm, ok then. Did you at least read it? You could reply and just say 'hello'. I'm fine with that too :)

    If you do boring things, then obviously life will seem boring. :P

  • Problems like this are always difficult to solve because even the slightest unmentioned detail can invalidate any advice given, or possibly even do you harm.

    What is it you enjoy doing in this life? What passions do you have?

    Life shouldn't be boring! There are like so so so many things to do. I am not even talking about things you have to pay for. Close that laptop and go do something :)

    This reminds me somewhat of my situation... But I'm not depressed. Why don't you take up a hobby? You could make art or take up photography. Something that would keep you interested and stimulated.

    Good luck!

    start with something that can entertain you and make you feel productive.... go towards sports.. !! or painting... why dont you start with a job.. whats there to depress you always...?? and another idea is that start sitting with people im mean join social groups make new friends visit new places ... and your life and routine will surely change ... the idea of job is much better because that makes you busy and forget depression...

    Look for a hobby. I'm sure there's something out there that can stimulate you. If you do boring things then you're obviously going to get bored.
