Boredom is a killer but try to look at it in a different way:
" Boredom is the neediness for something "exciting" to happen. It's the craving for drama. It's the attachment/addiction to experiencing physical sensations. It's the desire to satisfy the physical senses. It's the wantingness to satisfy animal urges, rather than spiritual peace. It's the choosing of a temporary instant gratification, over long term well-being. Boredom is the choosing of pleasure over peace, because peace is perceived as being "boring". It's the urge to DO something in hopes of finding happiness, instead of simply BEING that something (happiness).
Boredom is the inability to accept life for what it is, as it is in this very moment. Boredom is the inability to see the beauty of the world, as it is right now. It's the unwillingness to see the perfection of what's right in front of our faces. It's the faulty judgemental egoic opinion that something is "wrong" with existence. Boredom is the absence of acceptance, and the rejection of contentness. It's the neediness to change the situation because the mind refuses to be happy with what is. Boredom is the refusal of happiness in this very moment. When the mind is needy, there always has to be something more. With boredom, things always have to be different than how they already are. Boredom is intolerance and discrimination. Boredom is the absence of love.
Boredom is the anticipation of what could be, but isn't. It's the looking forward to what doesn't exist in reality. It's the indulgence in an illusionary dream of imagination, and the escaping of reality.
Boredom is a form of anxiety and stress. Boredom determines many of our erroneous actions, and is therefore the source of much of our suffering. Boredom is a psychological problem that is best to be let go of. When one lets boredom take control of them, one is never satisfied (happy/content).
Boredom is the false notion that happiness lies outside oneself. It's born from the unawareness that happiness can simply be chosen at all moments of life, despite life's circumstances. Boredom happens because of ignorance and unconsciousness. Boredom is the result of a lack of truth. Boredom is a negativity. Boredom creates problems. Boredom can't be quenched. It can only be let go of."

I think life is all about conquering boredom, finding stuff to do so you don't feel bored. The worst way to spend a day is sitting around thinking about stuff while staring at the wall.
Unfortunately excitement comes from sharing experiences with other people in many cases. That's why boredom is an issue for a shy person like me.

because we live in a methodically orchestrated world directed by bosses, parents, authority figures. technically speaking they aren't authority figures but people allow them to be authority figures through behaviour and conforming and the like, perception makes it that way. this can often create a dull lifestyle for people who live a very mundaine "people pleasing" life. that's why people love watching tv or playing sports. you have to have that all round lifestyle just to stay at peace of mind i think because otherwise you'd just be going to work and ground hog day sets in.
