Boredom, or tedium, is an emotion characterised by a lack of interest in the environment and the perception that time is stretched out. In Europe, boredom can be associated with factors such as monotony in daily life, lack of stimulation and a sense of emptiness. But to mention Europe is an overstatement, and this is being felt in particular countries such as Spain, Germany and England.

In Canada, I have not heard of the feeling of boredom; rather, it is depression and anxiety. Usually anxiety in young people of both sexes and depression in older adults.

I think that the loneliness of older adults in Venezuela does not generate boredom, but depression, that sadness that their children are abroad. I am glad that you have found an activity to burn time with. I wonder, then, why don't you encourage your older neighbours to join HIVE and empty their blogs of all that life they've been dragging around.
