  • How to tell the difference between these 3 types of boredom?
    Saturation boredom leads to anhedonic boredom which results in avoidance and withdrawal (constriction). Ennui: a feeling of listlessness and dissatisfaction arising from a lack of occupation or excitement.
    Bad faith boredom: gap between authentic self and bad faith self (ego ideal) leads to pathological or dysfunctional behaviors such as recklessness and aggression (for instance, in narcissism and psychopathy).
    Regarding boredom: it is usually a sign that you are not challenging yourself enough - or that you have no long-term vision/plan - or that you are insecure (don’t trust yourself to be able to accomplish your goals).
    Motivational Boredom IS the Meaning of Authentic Life: direct contact with nothingness as a form of Being, as self-awareness (not to be confused with worthlessness).
    Problem of Western civilization: intolerance of boredom and of nothingness (example: death). Overstimulation=direct exposure to life --- leads to desensitization and ultimately to boredom via attunement.
    Defenses are "meanings" of a Bad Faith Life: 1. Unconscious 2. Fantasy (incl. religion) 3. Mastery (action) 4. Diversion (entertainment).
    We confuse these defenses with meaning but this leads to infinite regression nesting: meaning is dictated by others whose judgment is, in turn, determined by yet others ad infinitum.
    When defenses fail, we are bored which is the only healthy state because: 1. It generates action or fantasy 2. Left untouched, inert, it brings enlightenment. We should seek boredom and aspire to it.

    If you sit down and get quiet and still you can look deeply into boredom and see the great peace of nothingness.

    This may be one of the most profound videos you have made. It is so insightful and enlightening. This has explained so much to me about my internal core and has brought me relief! Especially the truth about the feeling of “nothingness”. Thank you Doc. .

    I think I've seen this bad faith boredom in people who have to keep trying on other peoples' attributes and interests for a short while until it bores them again.

    Prof. Vaknin, Do narcissists simply not have any access whatsoever to motivational boredom?

      ​@@nothingnessnonarcissismIf "Motivational Boredom IS the Meaning of Authentic Life" and narcissism is the absence of authenticity - there is no authentic core, the meaning of which would be a subset, does it not follow that a narcissist cannot access Motivational Boredom? Is there a contextual distinction between references to authenticity here and when speaking of a narcissist's lack of authentic core? (Apologies for edits, last one)
