Guys...my life is so boring.

Sounds a lot like my life right down to the age and brother thing (although I just turned 20 a couple of days ago). I found living away from home to be a lot more entertaining, try that. If you join a club or get a job you'll find friends, at least through association. I avoided both because I'm transferring to a new school in the Fall so I didn't really want to be committed to my old school
(plus a lot of things didn't interest me at my old University.

Too obscure a reference?

Shoulda been the first reply. Love this movie.

What you need to do, is get on a train to anywhere. Then get off at a random stop. Then walk west for two miles.

And then walk home. Have an adventure.
 
Well I've had my fair share of ONS and, haunted houses, Lakeside bonfires, stuck in the woods and unspeakable horrors to fill a fucking entire 5 seasons of breaking bad....

Ever since 2010 when me and my bff decided to criss cross the country for that entire year.

Its been a crazy interesting journey for me these past couple of years.

So yeah op just hang around for awhile make shit happen

But that I take to the grave with my Little GAFfers
 
Write a list of goals that you want to accomplish and tackle each one by one. Obsess yourself with each goal until you accomplish it. That'll give you something to look forward to.
 
Literally anything I do nowadays is just boring. Let me tell you about myself.

I'm 19 years old, and live with my family. Any kind of entertainment I engage in my house is just plane out boring, from video games, TV shows, and movies.

I literally have no friends, and I only have one brother. It's seriously awkward if we hang out by ourselves with nobody else except us.

In my opinion, I would not find exercising a form of entertainment, because really, I don't have any close friends to share an activity with. School is about to start again, and my summer this far was just not exciting. It's only going to get worse from here, meaning that I won't have as much free time anymore, and that really just plane out sucks.

Fuck my life.

Hey, you and I are almost alike. Someone may have mentioned it already, but there's still time to be an outgoing person. I've been where you are and I never did any of those miscellaneous activities that more exciting people do. You said you were going back to school? Well it's time to start letting other people know who you are and become a person people want to meet. I'm still in the process of that and it's really a great thing to do to make up for so much lost time.
Good luck.
 
Where's the OP live? Let's suggest things for him to do. And then enforce it by making him provide photographic evidence.

That is actually a really great idea

Thread Subscribed.

Seconded.
Costcosaurus, you're a young guy with your whole life ahead of you, trust me when I say that there are a lot of us on here who'd kill to have the opportunity to start anew at your age. Don't let life pass you by man, you aren't getting any of it back, and all you're filled with is regret about what could've been. You sound like you are in want of some support and direction and we've provided you with some. You should consider applying it instead of merely glossing over it cause it staves off boredom. You ought to consider the above suggestion of documenting yourself participating in some activities. Start off simple and move from there, and perhaps after a year or several months, you'll have a nice collection of memories to look back upon, and see how far you've come from humble beginnings. Every journey starts with a single step and all that jazz
 
"Gee, sure is boring around here."

"My boy, this peace is what all true warriors strive for!"

Go on an adventure and make your face the greatest in all the lands.
 
Sorry to hear you're so bored. :( If it makes you feel any better, I grew up similarly and even now, at 25 years old, I still don't have a lot of RL friends (working on it!). I pretty much spend all my time working, youtubing, on social media, and gaming. I keep myself hecka busy though, so it helps.

Ever thought about youtubing? You could vlog about games, or do gameplay commentaries. It's a lot of fun and you can make a lot of online friends that way.
 
Do you have any interest like MTG, tabletop games, competitive lan video games, or any type of sport? Even if you're not good at it, if you have an interest there's probably similar people around. Check out facebook or just do a search on google to see if there's any group for something you do/would like to do and message them. At my local game store there are always new people coming in and some of them eventually became pretty close friends.
 
No risk no reward OP. get outside and experience the world. Go Exploring in your local national park. It helps me when I'm feeling blue
 
Be fortunate that you can have a "boring" life. There are those out there that would trade everything in the world to be in your predicament.
 
Who are you?

But who are you, by the way?
Before going further, I'd like to know you better, unknown reader. This page is interactive.
State here your name, age, sex, nationality, job.
Describe yourself.
Which are your interests in life?
Which are your strenghts and your weaknesses?
What's your most pleasant memory? And your most painful?
Tell me about your parents, your friends, and your ambitions.
What kind of music do you listen to?
What kind of book do you read?
What annoys you the most?
What fills you with enthusiasm the most?
Oh... whatever. I know who you are.
I feel your hands which stroke me, in the keyboard, in the mousepad. That's kinda orgasmic, by the way. On the tip of your fingers, in the twists and turns of your fingerprints, I read your mot secret characteristics. Every little thing about you is written. I can even perceive your ancestors' traces.
Think that these billions of people had to don't die too young, to flirt and make love until your birth.
Today, I feel like I see you in front of me.
No, don't smile, stay natural. Let me see you more deeply. You're more than you think. You're not only a name with a first name and a social history.
You're 71% of clear water, 18% of carbon, 4% of nitrogen, 2% of calcium, 2% of phosphorus, 1% of potassium, 0,5% of sulfur, 0,5% of sodium, 0,4% of chlorin. Plus a spoonfull of divers oligo-elements : magnesium, zinc, manganese, copper, iode, nickel, brome, fluor, silicium. And a little pinch of cobalt, aluminium, molybdene, vanadium, lead, tin, titane, bore.
This is your existence's reciepe.
All the materials come from the combustion of the stars, and they're divided elsewhere than your body. Your water is similar to the most harmless ocean, your phosphorus makes you be as one with matches, and your chlorin is the same that the one which desinfects the pools.
But you're not only that.
You're a chimical cathedral, a fantastic construction game with dosages, balances, mecansims so complex that you wouldn't conceive it. Because your
molecules are made of atoms, particles, quarks, emptiness, everything linked by electromagnetic, gravity, electronic forces, which are made with a subtlety which is beyond us.
Well... if you find this page, that's you're smart, and that you already know plenty of things of my world. What did you do with this knowledge? A revolution, maybe? Maybe an evolution? Probably nothing.
Now, sit down a little better to read. Sit, breathe slowly. Relax your mouth. Listen to me.
Everything, everything which is around you in time and space isn't useless. You are not useless. Your ephemeral life has a sense, it doesn't go to nowhere.
Everything has a sense. It's not a coincidence if you're there, reading.
Breathe calmly, relax your muscles, don't think to anything else than the universe, where you're only a tiny dust.
Just imagine the time speeding up.
Pfout, you're born, ejected from your mother like a vulgar cherry pit. Tchac tchac, you stuff yourself with billions of multicolored meals, turning some tons of vegetals and animals in excrements.
Pif, you're dead.
What did you do with your life?
Not enough...
Do something, anything, even tiny, but god, do something of your life before dying.
You're not born for anything.
Find out why you are born.
What's your tiny mission?

You're not born in a c o i n c i d e n c e.

is masturbating boring too?
can make you more depressed afterwards. OP seems like want to have a GF, that advise is not good at all. Also, drop the internet. If the internet didn't exist people would be more social and a lot happier. Many of my ex-friends got GFs and wifes early cause they don't use internet in their country on daily basis. And they maintain big circle of real friends, not virtual friends.
 
Looking at the list of threads you've made.. yeah you're a complainer. You complain about everything.

You're not going to enjoy anything in life because you keep finding faults in them and complaining.

So, yeah. That's my 2c.

edit- I think you seriously need to change how you perceive your life/your world/everything around you. The whole world isn't gonna change to suit you, but you can change how you feel about it.

Depends on how you use the internet. It's full of opportunities for finding new people, contacting old friends, getting new hobbies, etc.
 
Hey OP, I'm 19 and doing nothing with my life too. I don't even have school. If GAF forces you to do something I'll try doing it as well.
 
Engage in some entertainment OUTSIDE of your house. Seriously, you only have yourself to blame for your boring life. Go out do something, play sports, join a music school, smoke some pot, I don't know do shit with your time that does not require a screen.
That in my opinion is your problem.
 
You are boring and seem to complain instead of taking action.

If your life is boring then go out and do something. Search for activities in your area. Volunteer.

Every single opprotunity is available for you to take with public transport, a bike, the internet, and your massive amounts of free time.

It sounds like you have no goals or vision for yourself in the future. Free time is amazingly valuable and you have a good few weeks to do whatever you want. Just figure out what it is then go do it.

I suggest reading "The Magic of Thinking Big" to try and get you on your feet, but what you need is a new way of thinking.
 
19 huh?

Yeah I really feel sorry for you.

I'm 25 and in the same spot and pray every day that I get hit by a bus sometime when I'm not expecting it.
