Boredom is a personality trait IMHO. Some of us never get bored, there's only lack of time and funds for hobbies and exploring.

Boredom was real when I was a kid, pre-internet.

Now I never get bored. Things have changed, but yeah, boredom used to be a real thing that people experienced no matter what their personality traits were.

You seem to be implying that the internet has cured boredom, yet there are plenty of people that claim to be bored regardless. I'm from pre-internet as well, and have never suffered from boredom, so your absolute statement just isn't true.

This is something my 12 years old self used to say.

Haha I'm old! Several up/down-votes and your comment... I guess I struck a nerve? I speak from experience, and I know other people who feel the same way. We may not be typical, but we exist.

At least you could have the decency to debate my comment instead of a feeble insult. My condolences.
