Im Bored

Everything I used to love doing bores me now and it's almost frustrating. Incoming boring story type things, feel free to move to a different post now.

From childhood, when I discovered Runescape, to now I used to love gaming in general, playing anything I could with my friends and just having a good time, this was the case for multiple years. Eventually we mostly moved onto competitive gaming, there were quite a few non-competitive games we could never leave behind though, which was enjoyable and angering at the same time. We've been into competitive gaming for 5-7 years now and when we play we change from game to game daily, from a specific list of games not just random ones, and for a long while this never dulled even a little. I've noticed recently though that i'm playing games just to pass the time now. Just to move from day to day and try to ignore my boredom.

(Side Note: I do have a part time job which has plans of moving up to full time soon enough, so it's not like i'm not doing anything with my life but games )

I remember when I used to buy a game and play it until completion or had a hundred hours in it minimum. Now I find myself buying a game I was really hyped for and playing it for 2hours and not wanting to return. There was nothing wrong with the game, I couldn't poke holes in the gameplay, mechanics, etc I just didn't find playing it fun.

I'm just bored...

lol RuneScape! That was my first online game ever.

Sounds like you need a girlfriend. Doing something with someone you love makes it more worthwhile, imo. BUt most dudes I know prefer being single. I guess I'm just a softie.

other forms of entertainment
books, movies, tv
perhaps try other types of games you wouldnt normally try

pursue some sort of creative endeavor

Yeah I'm also bored of video games. Recently I've been finding myself wanting to play sports with my friends but it's getting cold and everyone has different schedules so it's hard to find a common time. I've found myself just wasting my time doing nothing since I can't do that though and it's kind of pissing me off idk why. It's so much easier and enjoyable to play sports than go to the gym and work out alone and do nothing competitive, that's why I hate going to the gym.

Instead of playing video games, play games with your friends

I wouldn't say so. I commonly find myself laughing and smiling, enjoying life in general.

idk, maybe you're just outgrowing video games and your old hobbies. Try to find new ones and see if those are more fun.

I used to enjoy drawing but it ended up frustrating me way too much. I agree that I should find a new hobby, just not an easy thing to do.

try and find a better hobby other than video games something you enjoy e.g singing drawing or whatever, video games are fun but you're just using it to pass the time primarily then sounds like oyu just need a change of pace with something different
