Boredom is an emotional state experienced when an individual is left without anything in particular to do, is not interested in their surroundings, or feels that a day or period is dull or tedious. It is often characterized by a lack of stimulation and a desire for excitement or novelty. Commonly, boredom is a result of repetitive tasks, predictable environments, or lack of engagement in activities. It can lead to a sense of dissatisfaction, restlessness, and a longing for change or activity.
