Imagine you're playing with your favorite toy, and after a while, it just doesn't feel as fun anymore. That’s boredom, when something we used to enjoy feels less interesting over time. It helps us find new things to do, like switching from playing with blocks to drawing pictures.
Examples
- A child gets bored with the same toy every day.
- You feel bored watching a movie you’ve already seen three times.
