Boredom
Created | Updated Jan 28, 2002
Boredom is just one of those things. Children learn to express very early "I'm bored!" when they want something to do. Everybody gets bored from time to time and there are many different facets to boredom.
Most people experience the listless kind of boredom that comes from not having anything to do at all.
Boredom can also occur when you have things to do, but don't want to do any of them. This can occur after a person has finished doing something that kept them very busy but has since stopped. Suddenly the person doesn't know what to do to, and it is this not knowing that is the root cause of the boredom. The boredom eases away after the person adapts to their new found freedom and does other things.
