Psychology says people who get bored easily often aren’t understimulated, they’re used to operating at a higher baseline of stress
Boredom transcends mere inactivity; it's a nuanced emotion shaped by our brain's expectations. Researchers in psychology have uncovered that this feeling emerges when our brain's anticipations clash with reality. Chronic stress can transform our baseline comfort, rendering peaceful moments unexpectedly monotonous. Additionally, our ability to regulate attention significantly influences this experience.
