I live alone in the US without any family, and I feel so bored when I’m not working. I have some friends, but sometimes hanging out with them doesn’t really help alleviate my boredom. I engage in hobbies from time to time, like traveling, hiking, and other outdoor activities, but after a while, I lose interest and feel bored again. Not sure what to do with my life at this point.

Sounds like depression to me.
You are an adult. If you are bored it is only because you are not taking the initiative to stay active. If you aren’t enjoying hobbies or activities that you used to then that could be a sign of depression. I don’t think a spouse/partner makes you any less bored, but can obviously make you less lonely as you’ll have another person around all the time. Kids make sure you are never bored, for better or worse.
The U.S. is super boring for me as well. For me I think it’s mostly due to car-centric city planning. When you go out it’s always via a car from point A to point B, with nothing happening in between. You encounter so few people and activities, which reduces spontaneity in life to almost 0. Everyday life goes on exactly as planned and there is no feeling of adventure.
Nah, having a car opens up so many different activities. I live in Florida for reference, use my car to go places to surf, fish, mountain bike, try new restaurants, camp, and the list goes on and on. Being able to drive all over makes it EASIER for these hobbies.
That’s true. I have been here for a decade tho, it was ok before because I was workaholic. Recently, it got worse because I lost interest in work and my bar for excitement was lifted higher.
I'm never bored with my partner, we can talk all day and all night and not get sick of each other. But, I am lonely in other ways, as I don't really have friends outside of my partner. I'm a woman and sometimes it would be fun to talk to other women that share girly interests that my partner doesn't have, like pop culture or fashion or whatever
Yeah just gotta do things. I'm about to go for a walk cause I'm a bit bored. Maybe I'll listen to some music - I've been enjoying this album lately (jazz, Tcha Limberger is a blind violinist and singer, and sometimes plays the mouth trumpet- feels a little silly, but is impressive as hell) https://youtube.com/playlist?list=OLAK5uy_mXN4mo2jFy8ipOMhXioPfEEVp9YQvuO7s&si=SY7hPZlqKyxX2GTa
Thank you
Marry someone from OnlyFans. She will charge you a dowry and it will make your life so exciting you will wish it would go back to boring again.
😂the same reason why I haven’t given a thought to doing drugs.
People with kids fantasize about being bored. The idea you could just watch TV and take a nap is unbelievable.
Not having a partner, not bored.
That's life, after 30, it gets boring, if you are not dating multiple people
When I open dating app, I can hardly find one person that I’m interested in enough to initiate a conversation after 1000 swipes. Then I quit the app.
Op if you don’t find anyone interesting enough even to initiate a conversation, there is something else wrong with you. Not trying to demean you, I too have worked a lot on myself. You should seek therapy.
