High school, everyday life is boring and monotonous, and I have no interest in anything. What should I do? By Anonymous | Published on December 18, 2024

I am a high school student, and my daily life is monotonous, boring, tedious, and hard to bear. Other high school students have many interests, such as watching variety shows, K-pop groups, listening to music, discussing singers, and chasing stars... But I have no interest in these. I don't have any favorite celebrities, singers, or songs that I've consistently liked. I get bored of a song after just a few listens. I lack patience and want to develop an interest, so I look for small DIY projects online, but usually give up after only three minutes. I want to draw but have no time, and I'm very impatient. If I don't draw well at first, I'll give up, and I always quit in the process of choosing what to draw. I often read novels, but I don't feel passionate about them either. I just skim through them, and the content leaves no impression on me. I don't feel anything about the parts that many people find touching or emotional. My classmates have the desire to share after reading novels, but I don't. I feel aimless and my thoughts have no place to rest. I feel very lonely. I don't know if it's because high school life is like this, and it will get better in college. Anyway, I feel that I look very glamorous on the outside, but inside, I'm truly empty and devoid of spirit, with a barren spiritual world.

High school is a time when many students have problems. If you have problems, it's good to make some changes.

If you're bored, it's because you're impatient and lack patience. This makes your life boring. Our lives aren't boring; our thoughts are. Change your thoughts and you'll change your life.

Your life might change a lot. Just because other people have interests, doesn't mean you won't. Some desires and aspirations might be hidden by your willpower.

Pursuing a hobby takes willpower. The NPC in "The Outcast" needs courage and willpower to make changes.

You don't have a favorite singer, but you can keep looking. If you don't find one, keep looking. Don't give up. Just keep trying for three more minutes. Pursue your interests.

If you have high standards and pursue your dreams, your life won't be too depressing. There may be more possibilities. Perhaps your emotions are calm. Understand your family and background. Seek counseling to understand yourself. Good luck!

Questioner:

Hello (^_^)/, I hope this message finds you well. I wanted to let you know that I have carefully read the content of the text you have studied.

I can empathize with the feeling of a barren spiritual world. There may be pressure from studies and the pressure of advancing to higher education. When the pressure is overwhelming, it can lead to feelings of spiritual emptiness and a lack of interest.

You say you're struggling to find things that interest you, and that you feel impatient and lack patience. It's possible that you're also experiencing anxiety and unease, but you're not sure.

It might be helpful to take a moment to calm down and ask yourself a few questions.

Could I ask what causes life to be boring?

Could I ask what causes a lack of interest in something?

Could I ask you to consider why you feel impatient and easily agitated?

Could I ask you to consider why you feel unable to change the situation through various means?

There may be a reason for this, and it might be helpful to write down the answers that come to mind on a piece of paper. Perhaps they will be clear and obvious.

I would be happy to share my method with you.

It might be helpful to consider meditation.

If I might make a suggestion, it would be to let yourself learn to observe yourself, calm down, and find the reason. When you lose interest, it might be helpful to avoid rushing to find interest for yourself and to avoid forcing yourself. Your heart will rebel and think of

If you find it challenging to concentrate on the present, you might benefit from meditation as a way to clear your mind and organize your thoughts.

Meditation can be a helpful way to relieve stress, particularly for those facing academic pressures. It involves temporarily shifting one's focus away from external distractions.

It may be helpful to focus on yourself, pay attention to your breathing, and feel your heartbeat.

If I might suggest a way to enter a meditative state, it would be to…

If I might suggest, begin by relaxing your body and creating a comfortable environment for yourself, whether that be lying flat or sitting cross-legged.

Secondly, it may be helpful to gently let go of any distracting thoughts that arise. You can give yourself instructions like "calm down," "be composed," and "let go."

It might be helpful to try to relax.

Third, you might consider observing yourself, adjusting your breathing, paying attention to how your body feels, feeling your heartbeat, and feeling your hands and feet.

As a fourth suggestion, you might try holding your wrist and slowly releasing it. You may find that repeating this action over and over again helps you feel relaxed.

It might be helpful to set a life goal for yourself.

Life is actually quite short, and it may pass in the blink of an eye, so it's important to make the most of it while you're young and healthy.

If you are unable to identify a goal at this time, consider setting a smaller, more achievable goal at different stages based on your current circumstances. If you feel you may lack the necessary motivation, you could seek encouragement from your classmates, friends, girlfriends, or family.

It might be helpful to consider making some adjustments to your lifestyle and incorporating more physical exercise into your routine.

If you feel bored and uninterested in life, you might consider adjusting your schedule, going to bed early and getting up early, and paying attention to your eating habits.

You might like to consider exercising, stretching, doing push-ups, sit-ups, and running.

It might be helpful to consider ways of releasing stress and youthful hormones, which could potentially assist in letting go of worries and irritability.

It might be helpful to consider talking to a psychologist.

It might be helpful to know that there are always psychological teachers in primary and secondary schools, and you can talk to them about your current state of mind. I believe they will be able to offer you some reasonable advice from a professional point of view on what you should do.

I hope I've provided you with some helpful insights.

Gaining insight into the soul can help us to become more open to sharing. I tend to speak to myself rather than to others.

In this world, everyone has their own unique personality, interests, hobbies, temperaments, dispositions, pursuits, and aspirations.

It is precisely because people are different that the world is so rich with variety. No matter how you look at it, there are differences between people, but there is no absolute good or bad.

It could be said that whether something is good or bad is relative.

I believe that these feelings of boredom, loneliness, emptiness, isolation, uninterestingness, and tastelessness are simply a reflection of a particular state of mind at a specific point in time or stage of life. As long as you maintain a positive outlook and a sense of purpose, these transient phases are an integral part of your personal growth journey. It's important to remember that even after you transition into the workforce, these feelings may still arise at some point.

No matter what period or stage you are in, I hope you will understand one thing: all things grow and are noble in their own way. It is not necessary to envy others, as you also have many things that others will envy.

I believe that regardless of whether it is high school life now or college life in the future, those who embrace life with enthusiasm and a positive outlook will likely find themselves living a fulfilling and joyful existence. While external circumstances may play a role, I feel that an individual's attitude towards life is of paramount importance.

I believe that youth is a time for dreams, and that it is not a waste of time.

May you live your life as a person with light!

Good morning,

I reviewed your description and provided a supportive response. It is not accurate to say that you are fickle. The reality is that you have not yet encountered something that truly resonates with you.

It is important to accept the current situation.

It is not uncommon to find oneself unable to identify a particular area of focus. To illustrate, I recently undertook an excursion to the supermarket, only to discover that I had taken a circuitous route and failed to locate the item I sought. This experience serves to highlight that there is a vast array of possibilities in the world, and that we may not yet have encountered the ideal fit.

It is simply a matter of time before the appropriate individuals and circumstances converge.

Be true to yourself. You will find that events will unfold in a way that is unexpected.

When faced with boredom, engage in reading. When experiencing irritation, engage in physical activity or exercise. When lacking in cognitive clarity, seek out conversation with others.

If you are unable to find an appropriate contact for a chat, you may wish to consider writing it down. You are at liberty to pursue any course of action that you feel will be beneficial at this time.

If you don't expect it, you'll meet him. I can illustrate this with an example from my own experience. I was suffering from insomnia and unable to sleep. I happened to hear a live stream of Fan Zhendong, the Chinese national table tennis champion. I was immediately able to fall asleep.

I then developed a romantic interest in him, which provided me with considerable encouragement.

This message was written at the conclusion of the process.

There is no need for concern. Should you flourish, the butterflies will surely come.

If you are experiencing boredom, I would recommend reading Liu Tong's "If You're Alone, Then Be Alone." It is important to remember that people grow up slowly, and if you are feeling annoyed, you can always listen to the radio.

I must say that I am quite partial to the experience of listening to the radio.

Should you meet someone interesting, whether they be a male or a female, and you wish to pursue a relationship with them, I would encourage you to do so.

It is challenging to meet a highly compatible friend during college, given the demanding schedules and diverse interests of the typical college student.

I hope my response is of some assistance to you. Best regards, The World

Hi, I'm Pei Lu.

Hug yourself!

High school is boring and you don't have any hobbies.

You feel lonely and empty inside.

Data interpretation:

The questioner finds high school boring and uninteresting. They lack common topics with other students and feel lonely. They often read novels but don't empathize with the characters and don't want to share. They want to paint but don't have the time. You have tried everything, but still haven't found your interests. This makes you feel powerless and lost.

Causes

A sense of emptiness.

You feel lost, lonely, and empty. You lack interest in everything. You have negative emotions and rarely feel positive.

No goals.

If you don't know yourself, it's hard to make plans. A life without goals is like a ship without a compass.

When you feel lost, find a goal.

Advice

Study.

Hobbies are good for us. I think the most important thing for students in high school is to study.

High school is hard. We need to use our energy wisely.

Try more.

Hobbies take time to develop.

If you're not interested in any of the above, you may not have found your passion yet. Try new things! Get in touch with new areas like small animals, sports, sculpture, games, photography, food, flower growing, and stamp collecting.

Think.

When you feel lost and aimless, it's time to think. If you want to escape your current life and explore what life is all about, start thinking. It can bring you the answers you want.

?

I love you, world.

Hello! I really hope my answer can help you.

From your description, I can see that you're ready for a change! Without direction or goals, and having to change yourself to suit the preferences of others, you're wasting your days. But I can help you find your way!

From your description, I can tell you have a lot going on! I'm excited to learn more. How is your schoolwork? How are your relationships with your classmates and parents? I'd love to hear more about these questions.

From your current description, it is clear that you are an unusual child, and what everyone else likes may not be what you like. This is great because it means you have the opportunity to discover what you truly love! Here are a few suggestions:

Embrace yourself! Your current state of mind might be a reaction to your family or upbringing, or it could be a unique characteristic. Whatever the reason, you shouldn't rush to change yourself in a way that doesn't align with your preferences. You mentioned you can't keep it up for more than three minutes, which is totally fine! It's not something you enjoy, so it's understandable.

You can do it! You just need to learn how to persevere.

Boost your self-confidence! You said that you get impatient when you can't draw well at first, which means you are dissatisfied with yourself. You are prone to letting emotions affect your actions when you express this dissatisfaction.

If you are not confident, do not give yourself time to improve, and expect immediate results, this kind of thinking is not conducive to life and learning. But don't worry! There are plenty of ways to improve your confidence.

You've taken the first step by posting here. This is the beginning of discovering your own problems and wanting to change. You are dissatisfied with the current situation and want to find a direction, and I'm here to help you with that. Talk to a psychological counselor or learn more about psychology.

Best of luck!

Justine Davis The beauty of time is in its unpredictability.

I can totally relate to feeling stuck in a monotonous routine. It's hard when nothing seems to stick or excite you. Maybe it's time to try something completely outside your comfort zone, like learning a new skill or exploring a hobby you've never considered before.

Richard Thomas Learning is a doorway to a more fulfilling and meaningful life.

It sounds tough being surrounded by peers who find joy in things that don't resonate with you. Have you thought about joining clubs or groups that focus on areas you might be curious about? Sometimes just being around different people can open up new interests for you.

Marian Miller Learning is a continuous process of discovery.

Feeling aimless and lonely during high school is more common than you think. Perhaps talking to a counselor or mentor could help you sort out these feelings. They might offer insights or suggest activities that could spark some interest or passion within you.

Celine Davis Forgiveness is a way to break the cycle of violence and hatred and replace it with love.

High school can feel very isolating if you're not connecting with the popular trends. Consider diving into subjects that challenge you academically or intellectually. Engaging with topics that require deep thinking might provide the stimulation you're looking for and help you discover what truly excites you.

Weston Miller A person's diligence is a measure of their commitment.

It's okay to feel this way; not everyone finds their niche in high school. Experimenting with various activities, even briefly, can still be beneficial. Each attempt teaches you something about yourself. Keep trying new things until something clicks—it may take time but persistence is key.
