Why we love routine but get bored easily ?

 There are a few things I often hear myself saying:

“I like certain things in a particular way.”

“I like to follow my morning schedule.”

So yes, some things I prefer being monotonous.

At the same time, I find myself telling my gym trainer — give me a new exercise, this is boring.

The same food every day feels comforting for a while, and then suddenly, boring.

I wondered how, as humans, we are comfortable holding such opposite preferences — and how naturally both coexist within us.

Preferences also change from person to person. And when opposites meet on the same topic, differences in liking and opinion are inevitable. Sometimes that leads to conflict.

There may be no absolute right or wrong here — or perhaps there is, depending on whether monotony or variety dominates a particular situation.

But this definitely becomes a fertile ground for disputes in relationships, especially when there is a lack of mutual respect.
