Why I Choose to Live a "Boring" Life

[@MalamaLife]

Hi everyone! Thank you for sharing your thoughts in the comments. I just want to clarify that I’m incredibly grateful to live in a beautiful place like Maui and for my quiet and simple life here. My day to day is repetitive, but I do not think my life is boring. I am using the word “boring” in the title because this is how society or mainstream media would see my life. I have no desire to live an outwardly interesting or extravagant lifestyle because I find my joys in everyday ordinariness. I just wanted to share my thoughts on this. Thanks for watching :)

[@crunchyasmrgal4371]

@@SF-fb6lv exactly, so if you have the opportunity to enjoy the little things, take it, instead of obsessing over Instagram and TikTok, because so many around the world don’t have that opportunity to just live.

[@therealcjc]

Many people are struggling with work everyday just to be able to lead a normal life. So not everyone has the luxury of living a life like that

[@cupcake1065]

@@therealcjc I think my comment went over a lot of peoples’ head. I am not ignoring the fact that not everyone has an opportunity to have a peaceful or relaxing life. I am well aware of that. All I was trying to say was, whatever life you have, be grateful for it.

[@therealcjc]

@@cupcake1065 I get your point and I do agree. I'm just saying that that piece of advice is more applicable for people who are already leading a relatively comfortable life and are simply pursuing desires needlessly. It's surely a sad state of affairs that "just living" in the way that you've described (read, cook, paint, walk) has become a sort of luxury which many people can't afford, isn't it? I take the view that to be able to enjoy life in such a simple manner is something that everyone should be able to do - I'd go so far as to say it is a basic need. But we're all born in circumstances beyond our control. Some of us have it harder than others through no fault of their own. Cest la vie. So for those who lead the hard lives, it's harder to find that silver lining everyday, although everyday should be viewed as a gift; a present.

[@SimFiftyFifty]

Personnally i'm the opposite of what's described in this video and i don't judge people. Tho i think that what's matters is to at least try, to see what you actually prefer. Because staying home could be perceived as "easier", if somebody never actually tried travelling, going to nightclubs etc i could think that this person might be missing cool stuff and i find it sad. But if that person actually made his choice knowing both sides i find it completely fine.

[@RsChrisG]

@@SimFiftyFifty nothing fun about a night club when you got extreme anxiety that loudness can trigger panic attacks that feel like an oncoming heart attack. A lot of people suffer from this kind of shit.

[@RsChrisG]

@Chip McGuire Fighting a severe panic attack isn't really an option. Before I even realized I had panic attacks, the first 2-3 times it happened I thought I was having a heart attack. It took multip;e hospital/dr visits to confirm my heart was fine. I know its hard to understand if you've never had it.. and some people experience much milder experiences that lead people to think it's "all mental" when it's literally a flight or fight response in your body and you dont have any control.

The hardest part about being an introvert is being mis-understood. Very early in life, you are made to feel as if your way is wrong. When in fact it's not right or wrong, it's just my way. Biggest misnomer of introvert is that we don't care for others. I think the real problem is we care too much, we take on others feelings and hardships, its draining. And I came to realize others seek us out for that reason which is why they get so upset when we are not available. We like to be alone, but we don't like to be lonely, that's an introvert in a nutshell(meaning connections are just a deeper concept to us than just having a good time).

I was once told by my so called "friend" in middle school that I was boring, and have always kind of been made to feel that I am, compared to others because I too am a homebody who is also introverted, shy, and I deal with anxiety and other health issues. But being around my family all the time, taking things slower, not being the loud outgoing person is truly what makes me feel happy and fulfilled.

Flipping beach thinks the world is only under the pressure to be seen as “having a great life”, being famous or making 6 figures per year, she’s completely delusional because she’s been spoiled by her rich parents, she doesn’t know the reality that the rest of the world has to justify their existence by working, they don’t have time to be goofy and decide whenever they feel like waking up, the majority of people can only afford a few days a year living like this, on holidays that is. She’s not an example, she’s a spoiled brat very dangerous an boasting that everyone should call out for her idleness, she’s even shameless about it and try to justify it how life is so “gentle and easy when you do nothing, a boring life, whatever the others think”.

Other people like to go to parties right now with the situation that's difficult for them, not being able to socialize in person. I know some people like to have a drink or other out of home activities and that's OK for them but I panic at the idea of going into an adventure when I can just be comfortable at home.

Omg I feel you have spans where I don't leave my house for months at a time. My family is kinda on my case about it too. It's like I don't have a lot of money everything costs more than I have why do I need to leave the house. Everything I do is at home why do I need to leave. MY origin of this life wasn't a great one it was actually a near death experince that I am still trying to recover from but I may not ever fully. It happened ten years ago medical issues that came out of nowhere and the doctors only made it worse. I look normal to people like nothing ever happened but I have some internal issues that still throw me for a loop. I have taken up yoga and hopefully that helps me with some things. but as I get older I really don't like the idea of being out much. ten years ago was different but part of what has changed is most of my friends have families or relationships or careers of their own so they don't have the time to do whatever plus I don't drive anymore thanks to said medical issues. So it makes seeing people harder. I think I've made the best out of things I play guitar I exercise I clean my relatives I live with clean home and other projects I can do I help cook It's not worthy of the gram or whatever but it works. I so hate social media sure I do some of it but not facebook the gram or tick tok I just think all that stuff is just people pining for attention or to ramble about whatever. I prefer connections with people and not just hey look at this thing I did. I really am a simple girl I enjoy good tv shows a good conversation good food music sure I like cute clothes and stuff but I never leave the house to wear them. Also makeup is expensive and as a transwoman whose family isn't 100% on board with it I can't really wear it so it's kinda whatever. I will leave the house sometimes but usually just to see friends when I can or some family but the pandemic put a lid on that. It's fine though. I am glad I am not alone in this.

Use to be like that. Early 20's 20 years ago and homebody. Best moments...

I’m 19 and I’m like this, I absolutely love it! 😁🤍

Thanks for sharing. I am a small organic farmer, so I am always home :-). But most are caught up in the world to spend money on things for happiness. Which makes them a slave to more work and hardships with money. I have a friend that lives a very simple life. And his joy of not having to buy things to make him happy is just awesome. My granddad always told me you got to make your own fun on the farm :-)

My parents raised me this way and it's stuck with me into adulthood. I'm glad they did, I enjoy the little things and I don't feel like I'm missing out at all.

You have amazing parents ❤🥰

I'm a homebody too and live a boring life. I love it. I have plenty of hobbies, I enjoy cooking and baking and being outside. Not interested in impressing anyone or living my life on social media. You go girl.

[@karenbarachina1335]

I can relate. Being a homebody, an introvert doesn't mean you have a boring life. It is where you can find peace, contentment & joy even in the simplest form, it is where you're comfortable with. I remember someone told me I have a boring life because I didn't go out, but I know myself going out won't make me happy, doing things that most people do in the society won't make me happy either. -You have a beautiful & meaningful life ☺️

Boreness is not universal, what is boring for you can be amazing for me

[@raquel5401]

Me too! I have the best time on my own at home, working in my garden, reading or walking around my neighborhood. I am calmer and have more energy this way. When I have to interact with people, like at work or a social gathering, it leaves me completely drained.

[@linneasimchah1621]

@@raquel5401 Totally. Interacting with people leaves me so drained. I eventually forget what it's like and feel like I should be engaged more, but afterward am reminded why I went such a long time avoiding people. People tend to respond well to me, but when they want to interact more, I always pull away because it's so distasteful to me. For about 10 years straight in my 30s, I did a lot of globetrotting with my husband. While it certainly was a privilege and I appreciated gaining perspective, I'm completely satisfied with that travel time and no longer wish to travel again. I'm such a homebody now. People cannot relate to enjoying such a quiet calm life.

Loneliness and Not Socialism makes you depressed and phobias

[@SomethingSomethingg]

My only thing is that I think you should try to face your fears at least once in a while and get out of your comfort zone because that's the only way you can grow. I kind of get annoyed how people have turned things like being an introvert or a homebody or an extrovert or whatever into a badge of honor that becomes the forefront of their existence.
