Bored period/Excited period - surprising difference

Postby yYyYy » Sat Jan 21, 2012 1:12 pm

When I am 'bored'
seriously painfull bored period,
I come to the forum and start to look at the titles of topics.
and everything is SO incredibly boring and meaningless.
it's hard find one interesting, just readable topic.
if I click one thing, I soon come out becaused it is so boring that is painful to even look at them.
every topics, every posts, every threads are really deadly boring.. nothing draws my attention, not even little

Then, there is another phase, 'excited' period
when I am excited, I laugh all the day, burst into laughter by the smallest things
everything seem so fun and so exciting and fun/good memories from the past turns back often
so I just laugh.
during that period, when I come to forums, EVERY topics and EVERY posts are SO INTERESTING
I am like 'why couldn't I see these before? when it had these topics?? or why I DID'NT know it's fun??'
and start to read one by one, and they are so interesting that I feel I lack of time to read all the interesting stuffs in the forum. it takes me time to go to next page, I read all the things, interested, I make comments. it's fun.

but again when I am in 'bored' period
I go to same page and cannot find anything I read.(literally, I don't remember anything interesting I read)
and I doubt if it's the same place. I go over the pages and pages, and nothing.
There are only boring things that do not draw my attention at all.
It's like magic, someone made every interesting thing to disappear at once.
I am so deadly bored and there's literally, nothing I can enjoy.
who can save me from boredom?

and to make a comment I guess the cause that divides boredom/excitement period is..
'guys'
when I am being loved by more than one guy I guess I become so happy and excited.
when there is no one, painful boredom period.
it's just my guess. I am actually not sure.

Yyy

Hello and welcome.
Just a quick response to your inquiry. Not sure if you are in therapy or not. But boredom can go along with hp and other disorders. Keeping your mind occupied with good constructive things like work or school cab help you.

I think when an hp sits and dwells on what they dont have or who they are wanting at the time us when they stir up the most drama. I'm assuming you are young and trying to find your place in the world so it will take you a while to get there but you're capable of it. :)

Lastly....if you have great highs and lows and you are up and down to the extremes that might run people off no matter how pretty you are. You.will find the more drama an hp creates the more people including men that once adored them will leave and go.and not look back. That is wearing foe most people to deal with moody disordered people who they never know how they are going act on a daily basis.

You can practice focusing on constructive if you want to get better. I wish you luck and feel free to talk to me if you want on the board or Pm. We all start somewhere. And sometimes we need a litre help.

yyy -

When it came to the woman I met, that was my conclusion as well. I really felt that her emotional sense of altruism, interest, even boredom/excitement as you put it, came down to guys. That's not an entirely bad thing by the way, probably a normal thing, that people can become more interested/awake/involved when a potential love interest is in the mix, but at the same time, I don't think a healthy person feels entirely empty otherwise. Actually some people become very involved in non-sexual hobbies, work, even other people (e.g., their children, a grand parent, a same sex friend), pets, etc.

I think that was really cool how you looked into yourself, asked why are you feeling as you do, found an answer (even if it is not the complete answer), that's very cool. The only thing I'd add is that if you continue to look, dig deeper, you'll likely find there is a deeper answer then just 'guys'. Behind that, all of the feelings and thoughts that caused the 'guy' factor, and with that, you'll learn even more about yourself (and better still, those feelings will have less power over you and you'll have more power over yourself).

Best wishes yyy
