Really like wdym bro does having adhd make boredom worse?
@@locusfocus6998 One of ADHD's defining traits is a constant need for stimulation of some kind. When it isn't there, we kind of shut down. Oversimplifying things a _lot_ there, but that's the basics.

That story about Genie made me cry.
That whole story says a lot about not just the depths of human psychology but also the wide spectrum of evil behaviour.
As someone who has spent so much time by myself for reasons like this, I've come up with so many ideas and play things out in my head all the time. I do suffer from depression and anxiety, but after years of using that spare time to sit there and just think, I actually do feel a better understanding of myself, others, how others see me, and the world around me, without the act of judging anyone or anything instantly. But it seems anytime I get the motivation to push myself, life pushes me back, so idk but maybe someday, when things don't jump in the way the second I decide to take a step forward, I'll get the chance to spread my wings.

griffbazork that was 4 years ago
Was always a quiet kid in school but I remember people asking me how I was able to just get lost in thought or "zone out" in any situation that was normally.... Boring. I've never know. I just don't mind boredom. If I'm bored and can't do anything I sit quietly and stare off into the distance and let myself get lost in thought. Sometimes it's as though I don't exist. I can turn a 4 hour wait into 10 minutes of what could be called meditation. Just thinking and learning from your own mind.

There's a certain type of boredom where you aren't interesting in anything currently but you don't want to do anything ELSE either. Everything just seems dull and pointless. (It REALLY sucks lol)
That's called depression.
But, I mean, I have felt that way or something like that and not been depressed. It won't be like aw man, I had something to do. Want to play (insert game here)? Like, I'll be just plain bored, but I'm also bored of trying to get occupied, and every option is just meh. :/ it's not sad for me really, just boring.

I always assumed boredom was a survival thing, telling you to do something.
Because if you're out in the wild and you're sitting around doing nothing, you won't survive.
Thats actually a fair point i would have never thought of that
Archon Gaming I was thinking that while watching this. Boredom obviously has something to do with intelligence, like in school when everyone is engrossed in lessons you have already done/know you are bored. It takes an idiot to sit around and do nothing, boredom is to keep us productive.
I think other natural instincts would kick in aka hunger food or reproduction
I think boredom stems from the fact that most of us are not in the"wild" anymore, and have our basic needs easily fulfilled, if you live in a developed country, you're most likely in a house, sheltered from elements, and when you get hungry or thirsty, all you have to do it make your way to the kitchen and help yourself. Ergo you don't have the stress of needing to stay alive, so you can focus on other more superfluous things, like art, entertainment and what not, and that's where boredom comes in, sitting on your sofa in your living room with a drink in your hand and a bowl of crisps, and nothing to do.
That's not really true. Being "in the wild" doesnt require you to always have to be doing something in order to survive. As a matter of fact, the more primitive a society, the LESS an individual has to do in any given day.
In fact, the idea that primitive man always had to be doing something in order to survive, directly contradicts what Michael was saying about how "boredom" evolved to begin with.: Not just for mere surivival, but to thrive.
I just came back to this during a qualitative study on player retention in games. I was so surprised to see flow theory show up because I just learned the name for it in class! I also found good info about expectancy theory, which can be used to discribe how the bored brain evaluates if a task would actually be fulfilling enough before taking part.
I always tear up when vsauce says thanks for watching and that nostalgic song plays
I’m not for the “death penalty,” but in the case of a person where the only other seemingly reasonable solution is solitary confinement for the rest of their life, death is a mercy.
It doesn't have to be one or the other.

Staalman12 I can imagine a hypothetical psychopath for whom it could be true to say that there were no other seemingly reasonable solutions besides death or solitary.
@@willisverynice A psychopath shouldn't be in solitary, they should be in a mental institution

Riiiiight. Now I understand the purpose of so intensive gestures from Michael. Pretty good stimulation to make us hear everything to the end.
In my mind boredom has always been synonymous with depression; boredom is the sensation caused by the realization that your life is meaningless and you have no proper task that grants a feeling of fulfillment. Particularly in the case of having little to no romantic and/or social life, leaving you to your own devices, which often include monotony: playing a video game you've already beaten, listening to music you've already heard, falling into other addictive patterns that provide some measure of temporary entertainment to distract you from the soul-crushing reality of a universe within which nothing you do truly matters. Boredom is the disease of the intelligent, because as they say, ignorance truly is bliss.
you just described me perfectly... this is why i started getting high... the euphoria... yeah... 😐
+Austin Crews You just said all I felt, just more beautifully then I could've put it myself. Try embracing the depression rather than seeing it as a negative thing. Reality only begins from there.
THe intelligent realize their lack of worth as human beings.
the ignorant feel it but deny it and continue socializing with others who refuse to accept it.

Could this be an explanation for dreaming? When you're asleep there's nothing for the brain to do so it makes up stuff.
The Helmaroc King One theory states that because the conscious has nothing to do, if a signal from the subconscious is picked up the conscious brain will spin it out of proportion and generate dreams.
Yeah, it's related. He has another video on dreaming.
heh ye
The Helmaroc King i met leafy when i dream
I've recently come to think that dreams are generated by the brain going through thoughts as it usually does, but without any specific (or easily understandable) purpose, thus doing it almost in a random way. Also, when you're asleep, you're still able to catch stimuli, but since not all of your senses are at work, and some of them aren't even at their full potential, what we see and feel in the dream is completely different from what's actually going on.
It even happens when you're close to falling asleep, or when you just woke up. Your mind is sluggish, slow, clumsy. Someone might tell you something but you're just not in the right mindset, and misunderstand the situation completely.
Glad I found this since I'm never bored and I felt that something was wrong with me since I've been feeling bored as hell lately. He's right, it is an uncomfortable feeling which led me to materialism. Maybe others can relate? I also found out that boredom is when our best ideas show themselves.

The German word is more descriptive. It's "Langeweile" - which literally means "long while".
"while" means "während", not "weile". In my opinion "Langeweile" is related to "lange verweilen", which means "stay for a long time". "Langeweile" is what you feel, when time doesn't seem to pass, because nothing interesting is happening.
@@menyasavut3959 Здра́вствуйте! Actually, it does mean both, I suppose. As a quick example "That took (quite) a while!" could be translated to "Das hat eine (ganze) Weile gedauert!"; but, now that you mention it, I think "verweilen" is the root of "Weile". Therefore, either way is correct, I think. до свидания!

Such a great video. I've been feeling bored for years now and almost decided that this world cannot contain my boredom. A solution for those who are always bored: try to expand your horizons and don't limit yourself to what's originally has no limits!
3:10 Yeah, I definitely feel like boredom usually ends up in positive things, because when bored, I start thinking about doing (productive, somewhat fructiferous) stuff that I would definitely refuse doing if occupied. It's like, now that you have lots of spare time to fill, you start thinking about things that you wished you had time for when you didn't have that much spare time. Of course, boredom also allows you to calmly meditate about yourself and things happening in your life. So, yeah, having a healthy dose of boredom is always a good thing!!
