If you're bored then you're boring

Quick question, does anyone's brain get bored but refuse to do anything to alleviate the boredom? An example of the conversation I had yesterday to myself:

Brain: I'm bored

Me: We could study some more?

Brain: No

Me: Okay, how about something more fun then, what about reading that book?

Brain: Nah

Me: Well, what about playing Animal Crossing? That's fun!

Brain: No

Me: I dunno man, what about scrolling through reddit or some crap?

Brain: No still boring

Me: I guess we are just gonna squirm around on this sofa being bored for the next hour then yeah?

Brain: Yeah looks like it.

When I was a kid, my mum always said "if you're bored then you're boring" when I got like this. Why can't I do anything when I'm bored???
