When a person feels disgust for food, it can be said that he or she experiences boredom.
Hastío comes from a Latin word that, as defined by the dictionary of the Royal Spanish Academy (RAE) , is linked to disgust with food .
Some examples in which the word is found: "Last night we ate until we were bored, now I just want to rest and not touch a plate" , "These holidays I plan to eat until we're bored: there will be time for diets" , "I feel very bored "I think something went wrong with me."
Ennui as boredom
The term is also used as a synonym for tedium , disgust, desolation, tiredness, exhaustion, satiety or boredom .
Boredom arises when something causes discomfort or when there is nothing to amuse and entertain. Monotonous work, routine , and external limitations (such as being locked in a windowless environment) contribute to boredom.
The person who suffers from boredom feels that time does not pass and that there is nothing capable of motivating him. If boredom lasts over time or is very frequent, it is likely that we are dealing with a case of depression .
To overcome this feeling, people often resort to so-called hobbies, which are activities and games that help them stay focused and pose challenges, such as crossword puzzles, crossword puzzles, puzzles, sudoku, and video games : "I brought you some crossword puzzles. See if you leave boredom aside .
Ennui can be associated with boredom.
Origins of sensation
The causes of this disorder can be many, depending on the person who suffers from it; It is generally linked to the feeling of not having the life you want, of feeling bored and tired by the reality of which you are a part.
When a person is prey to boredom, they are not able to enjoy free time; She feels a great weight for not doing something productive and is usually dominated by great unease and loneliness that leads her to feel worse and worse.
Ennui in psychology and philosophy
According to the definition of the concept, it is presented as an existence devoid of meaning: a sensation that appears when there is nothing left to fear or believe in. One of the problems with this feeling is that it can lead us to opt for impulsive actions that, generally, can be detrimental to our own interests. This is because we are capable of doing anything to get out of that feeling.
Psychologists say that one of the possible reasons why someone is inclined to try a drug is boredom (to escape the feeling that nothing is worth it). There are also studies that suggest that shareholders can sell or buy for no logical reason, simply because they suffer from boredom, causing enormous damage to their finances .
If we look for the philosophical definition of the concept , we will find many authors who have expanded on the subject; among them: Kierkegaard, Nietzsche and Postman. The theories range from that God created the world because he was bored, to the fact that it is a sensation that links us to the cosmos, that allows us to analyze life from another perspective, although we misuse it.
Possibly the notion that is closest to what is accepted by most currents is that boredom is the feeling of mortality . That is to say, only when we feel that we do not want to do anything are we aware that time is running out and that we are not taking advantage of it, and that sooner or later we will no longer have time. Fun, on the other hand, distracts us and makes our lives easier . We walk towards death, anyway, although inadvertently; That is, we are not fully aware of it, and life in that case weighs less on us.
