"Why do people say they are bored on here? What's appealing about a bored person?
Absolutely nothing, in fact I find it unappealing when folk say it."
We tell the kids that only boring people get bored. |

Being bored is not a bad thing.
When Einstein was bored he had time to think. Then he theorised relativity.
Some very creative thinkers are often bored. |

I agree that being bored creates a space to think and invent but, for me, that essentially shows you're not bored. He didn't look for someone else to fix his boredom.

Absolutely spot on. I see being bored as having nothing to occupy your brain. I am never bored. I can always find things to occupy my mind.
To be honest there are times I wish I could switch my brain off - cos it stops me from sleeping |

"Doesn't being bored show lack of creativity as a bored person who is creative will find something to do with their time"
This. 
People saying they are bored reminds me of little kids whining. |

That's how I look at it.
My main complaint is that the bored on here state it in a way that suggests we should entertain them.
One of my all time classic messages started with, just a bored married man...  |
