Been lonely and been bored are two different things.
You can be bored even with people around you but can't be lonely when surrounded.
Boredom can be a very frustrating experience, especially for individuals that are accustomed to been active. It's also a bad experience for individuals that are going through difficulties like depression also because at that points wrong decision could be made.

Things I find my self doing when I feel like I'm bored since I'm more of an extrovert than an introvert.
I think a lot when I'm bored. I think of the future, I think of what I'll find myself doing in the nearest future. That's in like a year from now and beyond. Even when I'm sometimes with people is till get carried away with my thoughts but not as deep as when I'm bored.
I've always wished to be a very big and dependent woman when I grow. But this wish will remain a wish if action isn't taken. But I keep asking what are the necessary actions, Where do I start from, will I need the help of some family members to make it? Or better still will I make it in my own?
This thoughts go through my mind every time I'm bored and then I go lost in deep thoughts.
I'm presently not in school and an apprentice in a fashion shop and God has been helping me learn.
So I'm always thinking of the next step I'll be taking next year which is processing school. And I don't wanna keep calling home and all that so I will while away my boredom with thought of how to be strong and financially stable in the future 😪.
I actually do listen to music when I'm bored 🎧 and this can only lead me to one place which is sleeping...
I can be fast as sleep at any time even when standing it got to a point my close friends started calling me TesTes fly. When I'm bored,when I'm hungry, even when I'm angry.
Music sometimes also makes my thoughts sweeter cause some lyrics of songs answers my many questions. The time I think I took a step of applying for a job was after secondary school and then there was one song writer that says (Adult hood Na scam, nobody go ask if you don chop)... And all that...
So at that point I realised it was funny and true somehow. It's not that my parents loved me less but they wanted me to see life as well...
So I went out in search of a job to support home.
Listening to music clears my head sometimes and also music give me joy.
I could also read books when I'm bored. Though I'm a lover of novels but I'm not always opportune to read, so sometimes it could be during boredom I can remember I have an unfinished novel and then I either read till it's finished or till I'm tired or till I probably sleep off. But then reading help me kill my boredom sometimes.

Many at times, this one is the most common I could just take up my phone to search for things that expands my knowledge. It's could be about the society, it could be about academics, it could be about social updates, it could be about fashion, it could be available sex education and all that.
And sometimes could just take my phone for games or see a movie of look at throw back pictures...🥺 And laugh.
Something I could be bored, then try to be creative.
I'm a fashion designer so many a times a find joy in just take fabrics to create something that's out of trends, to create something attractive and special that when the out come is seen by outsiders I get good comments about it!
So I could out of boredom be creative sometimes...🌚
I could out of boredom also take a walk.
Cause it's not my thing at all I love been indoor. Could be indoor for a week and more without getting uncomfortable. But I could be bored for sure.
Then I could just take I walk down the street with my earpiece enjoining music. Sometime it could be far distance sometimes it would be short depending on how bored I am.
So Actually Boredom is frustrating but then you could either walk of it or better still make it productive 🤌.
