Boredom can signal that you’re hungry for social input.

Human beings are social creatures, so it’s only natural that when you’re alone and bored, you’ll crave social interaction, but try for the real deal.

Get off your device and speak to people rather than resorting to quick texts, calls, or virtual meetings.

Furthermore, use those calls and texts to set up face-to-face time. If you can’t meet face-to-face, prioritize calls with friends over texting with them.

If your friends are too busy for face-to-face meetups, look into joining an interesting club or sport to meet other teens with similar interests.
