Imagine you're playing with your favorite toy for a little while, it's fun. But after a long time, the toy feels less exciting. That’s like being on a flight: at first, everything is new and interesting, but as hours pass, the same things start to feel boring. Your brain wants something new to focus on, so when there's no change or activity, you might feel bored.
Examples
- A kid gets bored after playing with one toy all day.
