JC 2K3 · 19-01-2007 07:55PM

Drugs?

humanji · 19-01-2007 07:55PM

Well do something then. Anything. Bungee jump or parachute jumping. Taking up climbing. Go on a holiday to a strange place. Have sex. Buy a pizza. You're only limited by your imagination. Don't think about consequences, just do it.

Yep, change of scenery, different people and new cultures can change things around.

have kids! you wont have a minute to be bored!

I'd tell people to STOP going to clubs to jazz up a boring life

Browse through some of the 100s of forums on boards.ie and have a look at the huge diverse range of activities, hobbies, artistic endeavours or social circles you could become involved in. Try 10 of them, with any luck you'll become obsessed with one or two and never look back.

buy a nintendo Wii

King of Kings · 20-01-2007 12:59AM

i'd say drugs too. they may change your attitude.
But they're not for everybody so go travel .
In essence I think you need to do something silly (just because) to find out how much fun life can be.

when i was 23 I drove to amsterdam and then onto germany.
cheered me up no end

dr.bollocko · 20-01-2007 10:25AM

Move someplace new. Some place you have always wanted to go. Then stay there until your money runs out. Then come back to me, I'll give u something else to do.

Pigman II · 20-01-2007 04:27PM

LOL!!!

Life is pretty boring, try to laugh more maybe, fill your time with work, exercise, things you enjoy and try to connect with people more - evening course? drinking buddy? Failing that maybe the drugs sound like a better option

stepbar · 21-01-2007 04:27PM

Start a blog

Life is only as boring as you make it, get out and do something train for a marathon something anything!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

geminilady · 21-01-2007 05:12PM

What do you do OP that makes you feel like it's boring?

Maybe get a few of your friends to organise a weekend away somewhere fun?
Take up flying lessons.
What do you like to do, what would interest you?

discopantslisa · 22-01-2007 12:43PM

Go out and do the one thing you always wanted to but were to afraid to do eg. if your scared of heights, go bungee jumping, if scared of flying, go get flying lessons, if afraid to ask out that cute girl you see evryday do that (how I met my bopyfriend!!!:D )
whatever you do don't just sit around moping go out enjoy you only have one life; live up LARGE!!:D

Enjoy the power and beauty of your youth. Oh, nevermind, you won't understand the power and beauty of your youth until they've faded, but trust me in 20 years, you'll look back at photos of yourself and recall in a way you can't grasp now how much possibility lay before you and how fabulous you really looked. You are not as fat as you imagine.

Do one thing every day that scares you.

Sing.

Don't be reckless with other people's hearts; don't put up with people who are reckless with yours.

Floss.

Don't waste your time on jealousy. Sometimes you're ahead, sometimes you're behind. The race is long, and in the end, it's only with yourself.

Remember compliments you receive; forget the insults. (if you succeed in doing this, tell me how).

Be kind to your knees -- you'll miss them when they're gone.

Whatever you do, don't congratulate yourself too much or berate yourself, either. Your choices are half chance, so are everybody else's.

Dance...even if you have no where to do it but in your own living room.

Get to know your parents; you never know when they'll be gone for good.

Be nice to your siblings: they're your best link to your past and the people most likely to stick with you in the future.

Live in New York City once, but leave before it makes you hard.

Live in Northern California once, but leave before it makes you soft.

Travel.

Accept certain inalienable truths: prices will rise, politicians will philander, you too will get old; and when you do, you'll fantasize that when you were young, prices were reasonable, politicians were noble, and children respected their elders.

Respect your elders.

Don't expect anyone else to support you. Maybe you have a trust fund, maybe you'll have a wealthy spouse, but you never know when either one might run out.

Be careful whose advice you buy, but be patient with those who supply it. Advice is a form of nostalgia; dispensing it is a way of wishing the past from the disposal--wiping it off, painting over the ugly parts, and recycling it for more than it's worth.

Marksie · 22-01-2007 03:55PM

Everyone has pretty much covered a lot of things, but initially you should work out why you are bored, what is it in yourself that feels that life is boring and do something about it within yourself first.

Otherwise you will just tick things off a list and not get anywhere really.

But life is sometimes about boredom, accept it..it happens. It helps counterpoint the exciting stuff.
and the exciting stuff doesn'tr have to be major.. mine was skiing and jumping out of aircraft when i was in my twenties (and on one occasion combining the two when i jumped out of a helicopter onto an unskied slope

)... but even that can be boring..especially to those listening.

tbh · 22-01-2007 04:17PM

entrust your life to fate. For the next seven days, say "yes" to every single proposal that comes your way, no matter what it is. Or else, let the dice decide (if you want more control):

Going out for night:
Roll 1 : Go to your local

Roll 2,3: Go somewhere you've never been before and talk to two strangers

Roll 4,5: Get on the first bus you see, and go for a pint in the first pub you find after the last stop

Roll 6: Go to the George.

and so on.

I am all for the travelling idea. I'm 26 and last year I handed in my notice, took my house deposit, and spent it travelling through Asia, China, Borneo etc etc for the year. I just got back before xmas and had the most amazing time. I really helps put things into perspective, you meet an amazing mix of people and have some time to think about what u really want out of life.
I'd recommend it to anyone.
(although I'm broke now!)

Don't forget the sunscreen....

(Thank god that's never played anymore!)

Seriously though, change your attitute man. Life is what you make it, and don't expect things to change over night. Small like things here and there will improve what you feel is boring now. Plan out your week and fill it with hobbies and other things. If you don't like the clubs, well look about setting up your own! Sometimes you really have to put in the effort and get up off yer arse. When you do, others follow.
Good luck and don't give up!
