“Profound boredom, drifting here and there in the abysses of our existence like a muffling fog, removes all things and men and oneself along with it into a remarkable indifference. This boredom reveals being as a whole. ”

Martin Heidegger, What is Metaphysics? (1929)

Without stimulus or focus, the individual is confronted with nothingness, the meaninglessness of existence, and experiences existential anxiety. 

“It always shocked me when I realized that I wasn’t the only person in the world who thought and felt such strange and awful things.”

Looking for Alaska, John Green

“I can't continue with this monotony. Everything is becoming dull, pointless. I can't keep dealing with the irenic ennui of another day.”
