Imagine your brain is like a toy that needs to be played with. Some brains are like toys that need to be changed every few minutes, while others can keep playing for a long time. This difference helps explain why some people get bored faster than others.
Boredom tolerance means how much stimulation a person can handle before they feel bored. People who have low boredom tolerance might get distracted easily or find activities less exciting.
Examples
- A child in class can't sit still during a story because they need more excitement.
- Someone playing a video game loses interest after only one level and moves to another.
