    Everything (even jacking off:icon_redf) has become boring now and it feels like my life has just been passing me by...:tears:My definition of life is total boredom with a few happy moments... What should I do? Why do I feel this way? Is it my depression? :help:

    When I'm bored my mind gets going. I try to create things-- drawing, writing, photo editing, something to get ideas out. You can't be externally stimulated at all times. Sometimes you get more out of your own efforts. :slight_smile:

    Nah, sounds like a typical guy that is bored, as so many can be.

    Sounds like you need to find some coping mechanisms! When I was depressed my favorite coping skill was art. It's something fun to do, something to focus on, and the end result is awesome to have. You also need to find your own thing to do though, maybe go on a walk, play with a pet, even bake something! Goodluck with your depression, I wish you the best. :slight_smile:

    Depressed or not, I think it might be kind of a teenager thing, because it seems to me that lots of people our age are usually pretty bored, and hormones are freaking crazy tbh. I find lots of things boring too, so I try to do things that require attention, but aren't strenuous- like watching some dumb anime, or reading a book. Anything that can get a giggle out of me seems to help :slight_smile:

    Oh, and going to Explorers once a week has done me absolute wonders! It's different every week, so it usually isn't boring, so, if you haven't already, and are feeling kind of brave, you could try joining a club- but I know it can be hard, so it's fair enough if you don't want to. I, for one, put it off for ages because I was nervous about meeting new people.

    In any case, I hope I was at least a little bit helpful/encouraging.
