I think we have all ups and downs...
Sometime you feel more energy when you are older if what you do is what you like...
Then I would say, maybe there is no difference between being young and old...
Being older gives you sometimes a kind of emergency feeling...
People who has been very sick, or often sick in there childhood never seem to get ever bored..
Then from one person to the other, it is also very different.
I am never bored...
Even when I am feeling low, I am not bored...
And I can be in some depths even while my intention was never to probe it, believe me...
This is not really difficult question to answer, but to motivate someone, or get someone interest is the piece of cake...
I suppose that it comes from a lack of vitality..
Or too much, or else a difficulty to focus which can also lead to discouragement, as you might have a problem to finish any task.
It can be also that you have to change something in your life because being bored has never been associated with maturity in my mind...
Quite the contrary...
Just stay looking at the life wonder with children's eyes is a sign of profound maturity...

At least you understand true maturity is different from just getting older.
I have always been a responsible, mature kind of person, the kind you want to leave your kids with, trust the keys to your house with. Trust your secrets to stay secret with, and when you need a true word as opposed to someone who says what you want to hear, I'm the one everyone comes to. Now, I'm not saying this to pat myself on the back, just to let you know where I'm coming from, and I believe those qualities have made me truly mature, even if my age of sixty this year doesn't automatically qualify me.
I'm rarely bored, I plan things to look forward to, family events, trips, paintings I may or may not ever get to paint, I sew clothes and drapes, knit and crochet. I'm interested in people which is what drew me to Answers. I taught myself how to use the computer. There is so much to still learn and do and see. The older I got the more I have the sense that time may be running out and I will never get to the top of Pikes Peak.
If I feel that way, I'd have to say that boring people get bored, and people who have interests don't. If you are truly mature, then you have passed through the stage of life where everything is related to introspection and you think of others too. There is always something, good or bad going on around you, and so life itself is never boring.
In the meantime, I'm going to Disney World so I can see it through the eyes of my grandkids, all four of them, 18 to 4 and I can't wait. Nope, no boredom here.

I wouldn't think so. But then, what is true maturity? I'm speculating this means "putting away childish things" as it's said, or perhaps you mean plain maturity as in being finished maturing by age. As I'm certainly the second variation, almost 50, but I'll speak to that. Boredom isn't a maturity issue, I think, since it's only a matter of what you do with your time, how you live, say, and how you approach living. I think as you age and discover things, the hard facts and that, there's a tendency to draw ever increasing boundaries (set in your ways, it's called) but there's all kinds of ways to find more information or enlightenment on even things you do every day, given an opportunity. I think it all comes down to what you teach yourself, prefer to learn or find interesting.

Hmmmm.... right it truly is what i have were given so some distance: Hobbes no longer Locke Socrates no longer Plato Ayn Rand no longer Karl Marx the in reality absolute fact is the possibility of blunders. each little thing is power. substitute is both inevitable and logical. the least puzzling complete clarification is likely genuine. the nature of existence is to devour, reproduce and stay away from being eaten. All factors of existence advance by Random/Directed substitute & organic/Directed decision. Perfection is an body of recommendations no longer an characteristic. Love is thinking the self activity of yet another as your own. There are not any unfavourable thoughts. JFTR assuming you've attained "the genuine know-how" prevents you from freeing youself from fake know-how. ought to bypass with Black Spider & Socrates in this one.

I see maturity as a part of life whereby excitement is no longer needed as we knew it when we were younger. We become more content with life as we know it, understand our limitations, and use the wisdom we gained to apply it to everyday life. If you are older, and are bored, you may want to consider associating with people your age with which you have things in common, or take up a hobby, or keep up with old hobbies. Sometimes when we havent done something in awhile, it becomes "new" again by seeing it in a different perspective. At any age, a feeling of lackluster or boredom comes from non interest in things....Find something you are good at, and do it!!!

no, the exact opposite.

eg it's mostly kids and teenagers who express boredom.

true maturity is peace, a quiet contentment, a happiness for all that has happened, all we have, even all we have lost because without that which we lost, we wouldn't be who we are today.

no, it should be the exact opposite. because when we say that we are matured enough, we should know when to vent our emotions and where to focus are energies on
