Going out because there was nothing inside, and meeting other bored people, connecting on anything because it was better than nothing?
To me, that's an alien experience. I was and am never bored when I'm alone, I just think and imagine. I only get bored when I have to pay attention to boring stuff that prevents me from drifting off.

I grew up without internet/tv/cellphones - books, art, and dreaming was the first line of defense from boredom, but eventually they ran dry after weeks of repetition.
