(Un)comfortably numb
This morning
-I’m just… bored, I blurt, looking at my shoes.
-I don’t believe in boredom, he says.
-Fine. I’m lazy, then.
-I don’t believe in laziness either.
-As it happens, I agree with you. But I’m being morose, and I need a word to explain that I’m not doing anything with my time. So if I call it laziness, at least I take full responsibility for my lethargy. I don’t want to blame anyone else for it.
-There’s no such thing as boredom. It’s only lack of stimulation. Where do you get yours from?
-Myself. Or at least I should. But I’m not. I don’t want to relinquish responsibility for my limbo. What if I traced my lack of stimulation to someone else, what shall I do then? Cry, have a tantrum, eat a cookie?
-Then maybe you could see it as a mechanism that you can undo; then use all the stored-up momentum that hasn’t been released because you didn’t get the stimulus.
Over the past two days, I’ve been sleeping a lot, and looking at the clock when awake, to check how long til I can go back to bed.
I don’t like getting people worried.
I’m lazy.

Or are you just in a funk? Cos doesn't that happen to everyone?
Well, laziness, lethargy, moroseness...whatever it is, feel better soon
x
yes hope you feel inspired soon. x
Know the feeling. But it could be you need this bored lazy patch, to deal with the next ball of shit life throws at you.
Have tried speed-eating?
Boredom, or a funk. Whatever it is, it ain't nice.
I find doing something radically out of character and potentially daring helps. Like, contacting 20people on some networking site. Or sitting in a bar and very obviously eyeing people up to see how quickly you get chucked out.
Or screaming into a pillow... (mine are available, by the way) ;)
Hope you feel better soon x
Everyone I know seems to be having a downer, maybe summer has zapped all our energy?
