I have been getting tired and bored of EVE lately.
Didn't log in all of last week. Logged in yesterday and was ganked then last night our POS was robbed. Just makes me so weary.
I tend to get bored and move on to something else as soon as the intellectual challenges and learning are mostly over. For example, I got to the top level of amateur ball room & Latin dancing before quitting that, while my art got to a point where people were hanging it on their walls but in that case I knew if I kept practising it, I would become technically sound but never exceptional as I didn't have that feel for it. Archery? Won a tournament, did culling, bored. I could bore you with the list of different things that I have done, probably easier to list the things that I haven't done.
I have no interest in getting married, having children and such. I had a job that remunerated me well enough that I paid off a relative's farm for them and grew up in a family that was challenging on one side and wealthy on the other. Jobs too, get bored, dissatisfied, fired or quit. I have never felt a sense of accomplishment.
I used to read about 250 books a year, some 40% of them were non-fiction.
People bore me, they have the same pet topic, the same lives they live week after week (I do this too, since I opted out, so not saying I am better than them) and most of them just regurgitate the media.
So what is next?
I don't see any games that call to me any more. Just version # of game Y. The mechanics are all the same, organising volunteers to do things in MMOs is a nuisance (I have run a large and successful group / "guild" before). I have done most things in EVE, made final products from PI items, I have positive standing with a NPC null sec faction, I have made things, mined, PVPed, et cetera.
Anyone doing anything interesting that they can recommend?

Well, I like sex with women, but since that seems to be the only thing you can not achieve in life its no use to you. I guesss youll have to carry on being a perfect virginal nerd. Do you have a neckbeard? |

Actually, I don't have a problem attracting people but as I said, they bore me. Also, sex is over rated.

Tried in a whole variety of ways.  
(For those that move to England, the "alternative" community are the most friendly and approachable people I have met. Probably because there needs to be a certain level of trust. So, if you are that way inclined, you might make friends more easily that way.)

well at least you are doing stuff - I used to get spannered to cope with being bored like that.
My advice - start a company. Never a dull moment, rarely doing the same thing from week to week and no matter how good you are at anything it will challenge you.
(I've got three small children and a gf too - and I have to say they bring a lot of balance and light) |

I had my own operation in a group of entrepreneurs. In hind sight, I should have delegated more, however, it was utter drudgery. I need to find something that interests me before I try to make a business around it.

Thanks, started with JKA Karate as a child, did Okinawa Karate-do, Jujitsu, then moved on to Thai Kick-boxing, Kenjitsu and Rei-Thai-Chi. I find they put me in the "right" frame of mind when I do 30 minutes practice or kata in the mornings.

Yes, now that you have stroked your ego and proven that you are superior to mere mortals around you by winning a dance contest or shooting sticks at a cork target, stop setting your goals artificially low and try to do something that's really challenging, like getting a PhD or I dunno, building a multi billion dollar corporation or winning a Nobel prize or something. I mean because apparently you are bored of life because everything is too easy. Yet I still see a lot of unfinished goals. |

Day to day motivation is the main problem in that regard. Tough to keep your interests up when you don't get a sense of achievement or satisfaction from completing and repeating the same things over and over again.
I sometimes wish I could give someone my brain to use, better and less squandered then hit the /quit.

So..... You suck so hard at EVE you have to come on to the forums and try to compensate this by telling everyone you are a cynical Action Man?
Oh... and you are celibate, this can probably be explained because you have no genitals, just a pair of skin tight plastic blue Y-fronts!

Your opinion matter so much and I am sure that the rest of the lowest common denominators find you "funny" and "witty".

Most of the corp and alliance are good people and we have a high variety of things to do, we just had a bad apple; that happens.
Actually, occurred to me that I haven't gotten around to learning a musical instrument properly. Subject selection and academics got in the way of that when I was in school. (Hardly a calling though)

I say if you are going to stick with eve get out and join some random corp/alliance in null, just go for it, who cares right? have fun, see the verse, then decide.
Imagine playing Donkey Kong where every barrel looks like it hits you.
Would you rather I fix the barrels or Kong's shadow?

LOL bro...
I was President of the World but I got bored and quit...
Then I started a band called Nirvana, but I got bored and quit.....
Then I liberated all the struggling countries of the world, made love to all there women in every conceivable way and decided it was totally overrated!
Oh.... Also I ****** up Bruce Lee with my Muay Thai skills and invented the "British Alternative scene" formally known as Emo-tism.
See we are not so different....

OP: You have the advanced stages of Hipsteritis. There's no real cure once the disease progresses to this stage except join the army and get involved in a war. Then you will see how precious your life is and stop wasting it on retrospectives. |

Is this the super-talents self-revealing thread?
My solution:
I learned the harp and bought a wall-seized mirror so I could like... you know... enjoy the narcissism to the fullest.
Ah, no, I didn't, but then I never got bored pursuing my talents.
OK, I admit my job bores me sometimes. 
But, yes. It is very hard for superior types like us to find satisfaction in a game as simple as EVE.
That's why I drag my poor folks into stuff like Arek'Jalaan or creating EVE Bollywood movies. |

Find a guru 
Just kidding, guru's are traps.
I get the impression that you are amusing yourself with this thread right now and this might be a big giant troll but what the hey.. might as well reply anyways.
Life is empty and meaningless and everything outside is just illusion and will not satisfy you (as you have noticed) until you give it some real meaning. Having a deeper context of life is important as everything you do will take place inside that context. If you do (you create that context , no one else) your perception/experience of life will change and every action will be more fulfilling . There are many spiritual paths out there that go into that. You could check that out. You have nothing better to do anyways, lol.
I have some experience with this. It makes a big difference, believe me.
My 2 cents. |
