[ZenRaiden]

Ok, here is simple question.
Do you feel sense of reward when you do some activities?

 

[edmaster111]

not really

why does this matter?

[ZenRaiden]

hmmm, sometimes I feel the same way.

why does this matter?

Because it feels good.

Many things, but sometimes nothing. Its OK to do nothing. That too is something.

Every time (nope) I'm bored now i run trough some italian on duolingo. I guess i hope it will open up some possibilities someday. Work related, dating related or trip related. At least its somewhat constructive. even tough it gives me a headache if i do over 45 ish minutes.

Today i cured my boredom by accident. I was playing around with this 150w sonic transducer i found in the trash bin at the lab. Holding it with one hand (...) and putting the end that counts in a container to see what would happen. After a while i thought, what the hell am i doing. my finger-joints will be toast, its not like this thing is well insulated from one end to the other. So no i'm stuck looking at and self diagnosing my hand.

You forgot something;
Indecent exposure and planking. Possible to combine btw.

Edit:
Also you could start doing that's what she said jokes. I do them all the time, not always out loud.

 

[birdsnestfern]

My sister is the nipple twisting champ!
This is a fun one.

 

[ZenRaiden]

How do you do boredom.
Today I eat a food stuff like spaghetti, and had 3 coffees and had about 20 cigs, then I did bit of yoga, then I listened to some psychology and ASMR, music as well.
Then I lay for few minutes doing nothing.
Now I don't remember much, but currently am drinking coffee again and finished watching some game-show. Surffing wikipedia and been on discord and read some memes.
Also watched a vid on how to get angry.
Then I smoked some more, and now I am here.

I think INTPs. my self included needs a kick in the butt sometimes to get one going. Problem is you need to do it your self, you wont let anyone else do it.

 

[dr froyd]

Also you could start doing that's what she said jokes. I do them all the time, not always out loud.

as a connoisseur of "your mom" jokes, I believe they are superior and more versatile

for example: your mom could start doing that's what she said jokes

 

[karlsta]

I strongly disagree

That's what she said is applicable to so many sentences!
Ohh ohh I member back in college me and some friends (back when i had them) played billiards. I had a field day then! Nobody laughed except me... That's what's wrong with this world today...
"two in one hole!" "one in each hole" and so the list goes on... perfection ^^

Reminds me of when a Somali classmate showed a clip of him and his other somali friends singing some somali stuff and plinked on some instruments. I went... what are you singing? "death to all norwegians?" -everyone- turned and looked at me like i was satan reincarnate. I had to go all defencive of course so they wouldnt report me or something x)
And thats why i dont do many jokes anymore

if you like zoning out and doing nothing, but at the same time get into ennui for too long and too much boredom

schedule half the day with busy activities. and the other half zoning out and being in boredom. it works.

 

[sushi]

find something to learn, and become better at.

its very INTJ advice.

I memorized half of the periodic table.

I am pretty ennui at nightime, and i usually read a book or exercise.

Join a martial arts Gym, I find Brazillian Jiu Jitsu to be very compatible to the patern seeking brain of INTP, being the most complex of all martial arts.

Human brain is meant to solve problem and be challenged, a bored caveman, is a sad caveman.
