RE: How do you deal with bored people?

What lovely wit and writing style! Wouldn't have seen this unless Eric reblogged it.

Boredom is an opportunity to find more meaning in the moment. I rarely see people "bored" in my day to day wanderings, but I see plenty of people not being bored wasting their time and energy and wits doing things that ... while they may find fulfilment in temporarily, I feel don't add any significant value to their life - eg, mindlessly scrolling through shorts, doom scrolling, falling prey to an algo that tells them what to see, what to buy, what to do next.

I'm not very good at being bored, I think that if someone was trying to put holes through me, I would be struggling quite violently.
