I've been seeing a lot of articles lately about boredom. I was 6 when I first learned the word while watching a cartoon show. A kid was lying back with his head in his hands doing nothing and talking to his pet. He says "I'm bored". A lightbulb went off in my head---that word is exactly how I'm feeling! I got really excited and when I tried it out by telling my mom I was bored, she snapped at me. I remember feeling bewildered and wondering what was wrong with saying one was bored. Maybe she took it as criticism of her parenting, haha.
I don't tolerate boredom too well. Fortunately, there are a lot of things I like to do, even by myself so I don't easily get bored.
