Boredom is at once both easy to identify and difficult to define. A small but growing collection of scientists have devoted their research to boredom, and some conceive of the state as a signal for change. Boredom indicates that a current activity or situation isn’t providing engagement or meaning—so that the person can hopefully shift their attention to something more fulfilling.
There’s a distinction to be made between the state and the trait: State boredom refers to feeling bored in a specific situation, while trait boredom refers to how susceptible one is to boredom. Trait boredom is correlated with self-control, anxiety, depression, and substance use.
Boredom may occur when our energy isn’t channeled into an outlet that provides meaning or fulfillment. But this encompasses a few key components. One is mental arousal, having energy you want to devote to something engaging. A second is difficulty concentrating on a single task. And a third is lack of control over your surroundings, such as in a waiting room or lecture, in which you can’t redirect your attention to a different activity.
The best way to overcome boredom may be to explore and identify why you feel bored in the first place. If you realize that an activity isn’t valuable to you, perhaps you can explore how to engage in more valuable experiences in the future.
In a situation that you can’t control, meditation can help you feel boredom less acutely. And in the case of a dull work task, simply getting it done quickly may be the best option.
People seek out novelty and excitement. We explore, discover, and create. At the same time, we all experience moments of boredom. Whether it's during a long meeting, a tedious task, or a lazy afternoon, boredom can have negative effects on our mood or energy levels and leaves us feeling unfulfilled.
Frequently being bored is associated with mental health issues, such as anxiety and depression, lower achievement at school or work, and worse social relationships. Boredom can even drive people to actions that are harmful for example substance abuse, reckless or antisocial behaviours, and breaking lockdown rules during the COVID-19 pandemic. Participants in an experiment even gave themselves electric shocks rather than just sitting in a room without anything else to do.
These varied experiences of being bored, and the diverse impacts it has, demonstrate that boredom is a complicated phenomenon. Boredom can also be a trait, with some people more prone to getting bored than others, or it can be a temporary state that comes and goes for everyone.
