Everyone must have experienced boredom at least once. Boredom is an evil spirit that keeps following you like a shadow and can attack you at any situation, in office while doing a repetitive work, while standing in a queue, waiting for a train, any where. You are bored when you feel an indifference to what is going on around you and you find it difficult to concentrate on the activities around you.

Psychologically, boredom is a state where the person suffers from attention lapse. Boredom may be due to being forced into an unwanted activity, or when we are unable to understand what is going on around us.

On a serious note, boredom is linked to clinical depression. Boredom may also be a result of drug abuse. Studies have found that people who are bored have more chance of suffering heart attack. It is also found that people who are not easily prone to boredom are found to be better at different aspects of life such as career, education etc.

Even though it is not easy to run out of a boring meeting or a long queue, we should do ourselves good by trying to keep ourselves engaged, by either forcibly paying attention or by daydreaming. Easiest ways employed to escape boredom are sleeping and daydreaming. And without the ability to day dream, we would have succumbed to the deep dark trench of boredom. Like Calvin who dreams of extra terrestrial creatures, we all can seek shelter from boredom in our own dream worlds.

Omg. This is some major news, I get bored all the time. When I'm bored I feel like im spacing out.

When I'm bored, I drink a lot of tea. It eases me.
