I think it can be annoying when they expect you to be their personal entertainer. I have a friend right now who pretty much isolates himself, and is constantly blowing up my phone. It gets pretty old and exhausting, especially since I am someone who just needs to be left alone for a couple of hours a day (usually after I come home from work).
I also used to have a friend in high school who would start up conversations online, then just reply "lol" or "ya" to everything. Like, what am I supposed to do with that? When I would end the conversation because it wasn't going anywhere, he'd get all butthurt over it. Well, what did he expect? I have no desire to essentially have a conversation with myself!
I had yet another friend as a child who was always complaining about being bored any time she came over to my house. Absolutely NOTHING pleased her. She also always complained about everything in school being boring.
I, on the other hand, always found a way to entertain myself and actually preferred being off on my own and doing my own thing from the time I was a kid. One of the great things about being an only child is that you learn to entertain yourself and not rely on others for your fun.
People who get bored easily annoy me, IIN?
