Sometimes (particularly on days when you have nothing planned), you start to get really bored and even lonely.
I've been feeling like that today- and I know loads of people get like it too, so; I had a brainstorm!
I wondered if anyone had any hints or tips or advice for when you feel any of these, or both at the same time- so if anyone did feel bored or lonely, they could look to this and try and make their day a little brighter. :)
Any advice will do, even if its just a little bit!
Show your fellow furs some love!!! ^-^

I usually play video games, read books, or maybe even practice my instruments...
-
To stave away boredom, huh? Well, my methods include: Playing guitar, video games (specifically with people I talk to often), writing and being on the forums (:3) - to name a few.
The most important thing when you feel yourself slipping into a pit of boredom is to keep busy, even if the thing you choose is a little mindless or leaves a lot of room for thought - it's always better than sitting and doing nothing but cogitating on the depths of your own boredom.
-
Games, Comics, or just a little walk... actually a walk sounds best to me.
-
I get that feeling quite often actually
usually opening msn and chatting away solves the problem but when it doesn't im out of ideas :3
-
Reading a good book is always a good idea. Anything creative will do, think up a story, paint a picture, play a song. So long as you distract yourself it's impossible to remain bored.

sleep, doesn't really solve boredom but ehh at least you don't think about it. talking to people and playing TF2 gets me un-bored though especially TF2
-
boredom...Well I forum post when I'm bored and play video games and eat and go shopping and write and read and do handy things like build something, install something, play my guitar, bass, order t-shirts online, visit my homies working at EB games, etc.
-
I have no friends, so since I can't say "visit a friend," I'm gonna say video games and film. Those work wonders for me.
-
When i have nothing to do i usually try find something to do, it can be everything from playing with a chew toy to laying on the floor hugging and kissing my favourite plushie (a cute little wolf) o.O
Mostly i just take a short nap tho...

I was feeling this way earlier today! Whenever I get bored I get tired.. and when I am bored it is usually because I am lonely and have nowhere to be and am just sitting around the house. Some ways I deal with it (if my friends are busy):
1) Music. Always gives me something to do if I can hear some great music.
2) Plushies. Plushies are great medicine for feeling down or lonely. Some simple hugs and cuddling go a long way to making me feel better.
3) Take a trip. If I can afford it that is. I will just get in my car and drive somewhere (nearest towns are each about 40 minutes away, just pick a direction and go!) and go walk around some stores and stuff. Getting out and about and being around people makes me feel great - even if I don't know them I have fun talking to random people and striking up conversations, and even just seeing and hearing others around makes me feel less alone at the time.
4) Fursuit. Being alone is a bad idea for going out in public (always have a spotter!) but fursuiting around your house or yard is pretty darn safe, and lots of fun! I do this a lot. Practice pantomiming, dancing, or just let loose and be ridiculous - even funnier if you get it on camera, and that will give you something else to do...
5)... which is make a video, song, draw, make something, etc. I like to keep myself busy with fursuit, plushie, art, or video projects. Having something to work on a clear goal keeps my head on straight (no pun intended).
6) You are already here! on the internetzz1x! ok.. so the internet may be a lonely place sometimes too, but it can be interesting and maybe take your mind off stuff if you find a good video to watch, gallery to look at, story to read, or another forum to get involved in (something that lead me here actually). I like reading Wikipedia for hours too.
So.. those are some ways I deal with it. I'm sure I left stuff out but you get the idea. Stay occupied and loneliness has a more difficult time setting in! :D

Most of the time, I play video games. If I don't want to play my xbox or TF2, I look through my box of PS1/2 games to see if there's anything worth playing.
Failing that, I either:
Go on the internet.
Play my bass.
Clean my room (It's usually a complete pit)
Go to my friend's house.
Write down some short stories.
For the most part, I distract myself.

greetings and salutations. i live in a very small town called laverne in oklahoma. there is really nothing to do here. :( they had a bowling alley, but closed it down awhile before i moved here. i've been here 2 months, but havent really met anyone to hang out with. there is a library, so i read alot, but i really like to play video games and play magic the gathring with my aunt and uncle. i never really liked my unkle because he was always loud and rude, but since i moved here, ive found out i actually have alot more in common than i first thought. :) we like thunderstorms and simple things like watching the sunset (sounds
gay i know.) and similar things. i was really surprised :o. so when i get bored i like to go hang out with him at his house. thank you all for this chat. long days and pleasant nights.
Please try not using that word in that manner.
It could be offensive to others.
Thank you,
