What Is Boredom Proneness?
Boredom proneness is a state of mental fatigue or exhaustion resulting from a lack of engagement with the stimuli in the environment. Research from various sources has been suggested to indicate that boredom is a specific state of mind and not merely a version of depression or apathy.

A few characteristics of boredom proneness include:
- A poor perception of time and showing reluctance how to utilize it
- Lack of interest and motivation in activities
- Inability to focus for a long time in any work and getting restless very frequently
- Not feeling charmed or excited about any new event or thing
