I mean, is it beacause someone has nothing to do or are they not allowed to do something or maybe even doing the same thing over and over again. I don't know wat boredom is cuz there are many many things to do in this world and i only tried like 1% of it.

Boredom is the paratelic state in which there is low stimulation. The telic state of low stimulation is called tranquility or relaxation.
How you experience your bodies chemical reactions depends upon your frame of reference.
For example, you could see your crying toddler and pick it up sympathetically or you could scold it saying "Why do you always cry when I am on the phone." The difference reflects your internal state, not the child.
If you are bored, then you are excitement seeking, but there is no excitement. You are in a playful mood, but play is not working out. There is nothing to do. If you were in a serious mood, then you would be happy about it because it is called tranquility or relaxation. Seriously doing nothing is relaxing, playfully doing nothing is boring.
If you are bored, you have two choices. Either get up and do something exciting OR get up and do something serious like clean. You will be happier.

It is the natural aversion of the subconscious psyche to the Nihil.
You begin to realise on a deeply subconscious level that you are being drawn back to the nothingness whence you came, and thus you seek some course of action instead that will further the supposed functions programmed into you from the beginning: to survive and contribute to further generations.
Its not a bad thing to go along with. There will be plenty of nothingness to come after death, without falling into it involuntarily while still alive.
