Answer 1

Answer:

when our brain does not receive sufficient stimulus, it might affect our brains' normal functioning

Explanation:

According to Maggie Koerth-Baker, chronic boredom is a form of stress because when our brain does not receive sufficient stimulus, it might affect our brains' normal functioning causing depression and attention deficits in the long run.

One the most convincing dangers about boredom is that how people would do reckless and risky things when they suffer from chronic boredom. This line "bored people are also prone to taking risks, subconsciously seeking out stimulation when their environment bores them." reminds us how people with chronic boredom might be dangerous.

The details that were least convincing were how researchers in Antarctica went outside in 40-below weather without proper clothing and without

telling anyone because some people just like doing things out of the ordinary when they are bored or excited.
