What are some advantages of being bored ??

Question

Inspired by a friend who told me that she is so bored, she almost doesn't bother with her fears!!

Answer 1

one is that you come to know the meaning of word bore in practical.

Answer 2

Being bored is really a great task in this present modern world! I say It makes us think that our life's so long. Just think u r having a good time/busy how the time passes.

& if this goes all the life , then it seems too short to live in!!!

Answer 3

I can think of three things.

1) Relaxation. When bored, you are not addled by fears and frustrations (like your friend) as typically most of us have to be at some point. Your guard has to be down to some extent and that only happens when there are no immediate threats.

2) Reflection. Time is a valuable thing, and planning is aided by boredom. People are eager for things to make time speed up while bored; if you consider the opposing benefit, time is potentially slowed down so that you can organize your thoughts and make more meaningful steps when you do act.

3) Reaction. A bored mind is idle, and when a situation suddenly presents itself, your brain will be fresh for taking the challenge. Instead of having to shake off the other thoughts bearing down on you, you're already clear of ideas and can immediately attack the current problem with full attention.

I didn't mean to make it three R's, just came out that way.

Answer 4

...get to meet other boring people...

...get to go to boring places...

...and get to eat another boring meal...

...don't forget...another boring movie, song and answer...

Answer 10

An advantage would be that you don't have any drama going on in your life at that time.  I remember a while back feeling very restless and bored and then all h**l broke loose.  Now I have learned to appreciate the boring times.  Also it is a good time for inner reflection.

The consolation that things can only get better.

Answer 12

I'm never bored, not even standing in line! Don't have time to be bored, too many things interest me.

Answer 14

You get to exercise your lungs & release tension, because you will always be taking deep breaths then muttering the words: "OMG! It's so f***ing boring!"

Answer 15

it makes you pay attention to what could be interesting. if you're afraid,excited, etc. you miss out on things. but bored people usually don't want to be bored anymore so they're keeping their eyes open.

Answer 16

You can always take that opportunity to meet new and interesting people.
