Although I admit there is plenty of things to do in CT, I am, quite frankly, bored with it. How many times can I go hiking at the same damn places? How many times can I go to the beach (which I never go)? How many times can i go to the same restaurants and shopping centers over and over again? After living here for 25 years of my life, yes, I am bored of it and clamoring for something new and fresh. I'm at the point now where I spend 95% of my time indoors, at home, even when it's beautiful outside. I've been to every museum, major restaurant, the casinos, beaches and parks. It's like watching a movie. Once I've seen the movie, I don't care much to watch it again.

You mentioned a bunch of activities that most areas don't even offer. With this attitude, you won't be content anywhere. Time to look inward as you're depriving yourself of a thing called life.
Someone who is used to have 24 hr shopping options would find it inconvenient to not have that availability. That option is avialable all over Michigan, Ohio, Indiana, Florida, Georgia.
The Stop & Shop on Bedford Street in Stamford is opened 24 hours. Also both the Stop & Shops and Shop Rites in Norwalk are opened until 11:00 PM.
As for other states, I hate to disagree with you, but not all the supermarkets are open 24 hours. Just like here in Connecticut it is only a few. You just happened to live near one of them. Move to Stamford and you can be near one here in Connecticut too. oh and by the way, there are others besides Stamford opened 24 hours. Jay

You are going to live a miserable life. You need to change your attitude.
Where ever you go, eventually you will become bored with the things to do and places to see. Then what? Are you going to be moving around your whole life?
This is not Connecticut specific, but rather nep321 specific.
Plus, who says you can't travel outside the state? Last time I checked; NY, RI and MA doesn't requires visas and neither does any domestic destination served by airlines at Bradley, Logan (in Boston), Providence or any of NYC airports.
Change your attitude, that will solve your problem.
What you are describing in regard to yourself is not ennui/ boredom, it may be severe depression or other medical condition. A healthy young man in his twenties does not make excuses to withdraw from life and stay inside by himself 95% of the time,especially in the summer. A visit to a good internist for a complete physical may be in order- then take it from there.
Yes, you can move somewhere else, but after you have visited all the major restaurants once and looked out over the Gulf of Mexico once and got bored with it and looked over the Pacific once and were bored with it, then what?
Then you're right back to the same frame of mind you are in now.

Spent 95% indoor... that dont seemed healthy.
People get bored really easily when they have ADHD, and I however have ADHD.
To me my fav outdoor is actually riding on motor scooter
I can list of things, but sometime we have to be creative about what we want to do.

I doubt you've been to everything. Every major restaurant? Seriously? You've been to the dozens of Zagat rated restaurants in New Haven and Stamford? Didn't think so.
I think you need to live in a new town/area, not necessarily state.

Change my attitude to what? Automatically liking everything, even if i really don't deep down inside? Is there a way to just magically keep liking the same thing over and over....even after doing it for 25 years? Please tell me how, because I'd like to know.
