Why do people get bored?

I keep seeing I am bored, ask me anything threads. However I never get bored and I am not sure why other people do. I can just go inside my head and find things to entertain me without actually doing anything.

So why do other people get bored and what does it feel like? :s-smilie:

I mean find something to occupy my mind. I have imagination and think about things. I can just sit for hours thinking up things. :colondollar: I rather enjoy it.
Well with the internet, I don't get how anyone can be bored if they have access to it.

Your perfect night in with the wife. A class of wine, some smoked salmon and 20 Facebook friends online. :biggrin:

Some people get bored or tired of looking at a screen? :colone:
I think it may be the difference between introverts and extroverts. Introverts are relatively content in their own company, they are occupied by their inner world, whereas extroverts get restless and need more external stimulation.
