Very true, partly because their inner dialogue is different and this changes as people age, apart from Narcissists who rarely if ever change.
If I think back 36yrs and imagine being ten then, "I'm bored there's nothing to do" or "no-one is doing anything, adults are boring!" seems like a familiar dialogue, but it just amounted to my expecting to be entertained without taking responsibility for my own entertainment and using my imagination constructively. Taking responsibility is what ends boredom and allows creation to occur.
So, being bored and overcoming it is something that almost every person goes through, eventually, but advising someone to try to be bored is akin to telling them to, "grow-down".
