Boredom: cause or consequence?

[Land]

About 2-3 months ago I started relapsing (not good but it is what it is) and I find my self extremely bored at work, do you guys think is there a relationship there? I.e. am I missing the endorphins from the game? I feel super compelled to play because of this boredom at work, but wondering if its actually a consequence of being currently relapsing and playing video games...

I think video game are the actual reason, why I cannot enjoy books anymore. I always tend to say that it is due to the fact that I have to read a lot of shit for university. But the more I think about it, the more I would draw a connection between books and video games. Whenever I try to sit down and just start reading and just start reading a book, I will start to yawn and just get tired. Maybe I should start doing it, when I want to sleep. ^^

Whatever, the level of stimulation by videogames is just insane. Another good reason to stay away from it I suppose.

I think it just is a lot harder to find a good book. Recently I have discovered some books in the wuxia/cultivation genre and they did it for me until I ran out. Even a shitty game will stimulate you whereas with a book it needs to be engaging.
