Thaddeus Posted July 8, 2008 Share Posted July 8, 2008 And how do you intend to remedy this situation? ...... or is that the help that you are seeking? Wrong place to look or ask, self motivation is primary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thaddeus - no need to complicate what is a simple question/debate. I'm simply asking if others sometimes feel bored and a bit stuck......and why on earth is it the wrong place to ask???

Valjean Posted July 8, 2008 Share Posted July 8, 2008 That' how i feel today,bored bored and bored.Sometimes i wish the UK wasn't such a sh*t hole these days, i could have been tempted back, but not now. When in a High School literature class I had a teacher ask me what I thought about the book we were reading; “The Sun Also Rises” by Earnest Hemingway. I answered in my smart-alecky teenage wisdom “I think it’s boring.” He jumped on me and said “Maybe you’re boring the book”. What a dumbass statement I figured in my 16 year old wisdom. Years later I reread the book and realized he was right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mizzi39 Posted July 8, 2008 Share Posted July 8, 2008 don't have time to be bored, my days are too short already I have no time for boredom either. With work, and a new baby my days are flying by. We all feel stuck in a rut sometimes. Doesn't have so much to do with your physical environment , but the way you are interpreting your current situation whatever that may be. Take a step back and do some self evaluation and you will more than likely find that the problem is internal. Establish some positive coping skills and you will be fine.

youngkiwi Posted July 8, 2008 Share Posted July 8, 2008 I never get bored, there is so much to do. If you're stuck in a rut, you need to look at your motivation which is why many people get into a slump and find it hard to move forward. Of course in order to get motivated, you need to have clear goals and know what you want. Look at your goals first and work back from there.

dee123 Posted July 8, 2008 Share Posted July 8, 2008 (edited) ....hi John2, I think I have "best of both worlds" I did live full time in Thailand once but these days run an event catering business with my thai wife here in UK, which is busy in the summer months only,.after which we spend a few months in LOS we also have an event in Spain on our books and I hope to add more events there next year,....but as you know there is always the bills (elec,water,gas,etc)to make living outside Thailand a bit harder and only a social life here in UK for the under 25's, but at least in the summer months there is no mosquitos and I personally feel more secure using UK as my base, also as its now the "fashion" to live in Thailand,is it not the time to move on? is there no way you can set yourself up to live 50/50 ?

It's a shit hole. May not look like it visually, but yes it is a hel_l hole of a place. The next 12 months is going to be a very testing time for the UK. That's a story for another forum.

lannarebirth Posted July 8, 2008 Share Posted July 8, 2008 This forum is getting boring. This past 2 weeks has seen the worst assemblage of postings I've seen in the 5 years or so I've been looking in. Maybe TV should consider shutting down for a week or two (save for Visa Forum) and see if anybody has anything new to talk about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi dee - the 50/50 scenario is great i'm sure, but not many i know pull it off. And yes,the UK is a shi*thole, even my old Mum said last week 'Colin,don't ever come back here,the whole country has gone to the dogs' to which my reply was 'yeah i know mum,we do have tv's and the internet over here' Unless she has other motives for saying that Edited July 8, 2008 by JOHN2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

girlx Posted July 8, 2008 Share Posted July 8, 2008 I am not so bored in Bangkok as I got on the island (KPG) before, though I have much less of a social life here. I have been slammed with work so thankfully don't have much time to think about being bored. And when the work dies down I go shopping! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A_Traveller Posted July 8, 2008 Share Posted July 8, 2008 (edited) ^ And there's the rub my life is the same. If you're bored then ask yourself what can you do to change it? /edit Change job if you have one, if not what about taking an interest in where you are, or equally make a plan to move if that is what you want to do. Find excitement in a goal and then achieve it.// Regards Edited July 8, 2008 by A_Traveller Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
