Honestly, nothing happening is better than something bad happening.
Yeah, the alternative to a boring life for most people probably involves some amount of tragedy or hardship. If their life is boring and nothing bad is happening, then they’re either making at least semi-smart decisions and/or they’re not surrounded by total fuck-ups dragging them down.
Is it really though? If you go out an embarrass yourself it's not the end of the world. You're far better off making a fool of yourself a few times and making some friends than staying inside all day and only talking to strangers on the internet.
Well, I wouldn't consider something embarrassing something bad. I had more in mind something like getting in a train wreck or a victim of crime. Those are some pretty bad things that would certainly be worse than nothing.
That's the extreme, sure. But everyone has a different amount of risk that they're willing to take in order to break up the boredom. For some, the line is putting yourself out there and risking embarrassment, for some it's motorcycling, for some it's alcohol/other drugs, for some it's wing suits. But some amount of something bad happening is usually worth it if the alternative is nothing at all happening.
