So, for five years, I've been hanging out with my friends by walking around the streets of our village. It's populated by evil children, and shit-for-brains teenagers (I'm 16, just FYI). I've always disliked it a bit but my friends like it for some reason. So, last night I broke to them that I felt a bit... immature just wandering aimlessly getting harrassed by randomers, and that we should stay in, listen to music, watch films and chat in other people's houses/gardens. They didn't like it, and thought I was being stupid and 'acting older than I am'.

But I just found walking around boring. I mean, fair enough, trips to the river or the shops are awesome, but just the same streets over and over again seem monotonous to me.

Am I acting stupid, or is it them? Feel free just to tell I'm foolish and shouldn't rant to people who don't care, lol. :D

Sounds extremely boring to me. And I think I felt like that when I was 16 as well. You shouldn't worry about being silly ;)

Actually I think your friends are the silly ones, for saying you act older than you are :p Where does it say that 16 year olds are supposed to wander aimlessly around? :p

Depends on which side of the fence you're on. I would've loved to wander around the mall or walk around the same streets over and over... but my friends were the sort who'd rather stay in and chatter all night.

._.

It was getting BORING.

Yeah, I much prefer 'doing something' than just aimlessly wandering around the same area repeatedly. Like going to the cinema, or getting some food or anything.

But no one is stupid, it's just preference. But I can certainly see why you find it boring :P

Thanks guys, you've made me feel a lot better. :)

Are you walking in silence? Are you not talking about anything fun?

I ask these questions because it could just be what is going on while you are doing the how. A great group can make anything fun, regardless of whether or not it actually is.

I used to love going to the mall (now I hate them, but do you love going to your place of business when you are not working :D), the catch was I had to be with my friends.

We did not need money (even though I have always detested outright window shopping) because we made it fun. Just different interactions that changed the whole thing entirely.

Granted I understand walking through the mall is far different than walking the same streets over and over, but we did that a few times and we still made it fun.

And it is possible that you are maturing and they are not. Thats why you are ready to move on to less boring things. I never really ever been a wonderer. And that would bore the starch out of me. But thats just me.

You aren't stupid, wandering around like an idiot the same way over and over and over is not interesting at all in my opinion.
