Boring people get bored. There are so many exciting experiences available and interesting places to visit and so much freely available distilled knowledge on every subject that takes a lifetime to master even a sliver of, there’s not enough time in the day! A person who gets bored when they have free time is a person without curiosity or imagination.
I agree with this 100%. Long ago I had clinical depression and boredom played little (if any) role in it. Another thing I see often is people substituting “boredom” or “depression” for what is really just “languishing.” You can be one without the other or they could be overlapping, but they’re not the same. To me, depression involved hopelessness or antipathy, which were not intrinsic to boredom or the apathy/exhaustion of languishing.

What a way to play down depression man.
Bordem is not the same thing as depression. And, ironically, that equivocation actually does play down depression.
