What bores you?

I eventually become bored with everything, but here are some situations that have no waiting line –

Small talk. I’m not a big endorser of small talk since I won’t remember anything that’s said. I have always had trouble with my short term memory, but now more than ever due to the TBI I received from my wreck.

Conversations with people who are overly passionate about politics, religion, their children, their materialism, and sports of any kind.

And when I said everything at the beginning, I literally mean everything. Thanks to choices I made when I was younger, I even become bored with sex unless my partner is inclined to deviant behavior. (If you’ve read any of my adult entries, you’ll know what I’m referring to)

My brain craves something new at all times. When that doesn’t happen, I become bored with whatever I’m doing. If the boredom is prolonged, I slip into self destructive behavior. I’ll do almost anything, even create unnecessary drama for myself, in order to escape boredom.

There’s no set timeline for this to happen. It could be hours, weeks, months, or even years depending on the variables in play.

It’s taken half my life to figure out and accept that this will never change. Like it or not, that’s life.
