My life is boring and I don't know how to un-boring it. I own my own home outright and have low outgoings so I'm able to live off of some hobbies. I have a lot of free time and feel like I have nothing to do with it all. I'm not depressed or suicidal (I want to live to 100), just bored. It's like I've achieved everything I want and just killing time until I die.I've tried joining groups and classes on and offline but as I have ADHD, I tend to be intensely interested in something for a couple of weeks, then it becomes a chore and I don't want to do it any more. I'm constantly finding my true passion in life, only to forget the thing exists next week. It's also hard to make friends when your personal identity is constantly shifting. I do have a partner but it's long distance and we're both a bit mentally checked out of the relationship at this point. I've travelled a lot in the past and there's nowhere I want to visit right now so a change of location isn't an option.
Life is boring.
>>34580948Most people find meaning in being parents or their career. If you're rich it's probably hedonism. Meaning is created out of thin air anyway. There's not much to down here so people seem obliged.
>>34583571Thanks. I don't want children and a proper career never worked out for me. I guess that's the reason I ended up in this situation. I'm not rich (the house came from my parents) and I have had to learn to keep my spending low so that I can live like this, though at this point I'm not sure what I would buy if I did have money. I do wonder if a career would make me happy or if I would end up burnt out and wishing I had my current easy life. Maybe being around people more and having some status would give meaning. Pretty much the only thing I'm living for is learning things (I take free uni classes online) and reading all the important books.
>>34580948Try learning an instrument and getting into the band scene. Sometimes "laziness" or losing interest/motivation in something is lessened when you know other people depend on you in some way and you have expectations to fulfill whose ignoring would cause others to be disappointed in you, losing potential friendships etc.Sounds like you should also leave your comfort relationship.
>>34583736Yeah, I definitely would benefit from more social time. It's just hard staying interested in one thing and not having it become a chore that I spend all my time avoiding.I've thought about leaving the relationship too but I don't think I would be able to find anyone else. I don't interact with a lot of people and my life is so boring and my jobs so low status that I'm not sure many people would be interested in me, unless they were in a similar position and I don't want more of what I already have. I also can't really afford to date with my low income. Probably the biggest issue to dating is that I'm borderline asexual which I'm fine with but most other people are not.
