Getting bored is a very common state of mind in people, when they feel that they are a little empty, because on various occasions this can also generate negative moods, because it can produce negative sensations, which can incur low self-esteem.
For this reason, a study carried out by some researchers at the University of Aarhus in Denmark, analyzed the various behaviors of people who committed some act of cruelty.
This study reached strange conclusions, where the people analyzed were violent parents with their children, people who suffered bullying and other antisocial aspects, who had this behavior solely for pleasure.
This data was collected from more than 4,000 people, in countries such as United States, Germany, Canada and United Kingdom, in which each of them belonged to various social groups, and they were able to conclude that, in many of the terrifying cases, these people acted because they felt bored, and decided to commit these acts, to experience new things.

In one of the experimental tests, the scientists put approximately 129 participants in a room to watch a movie, and they had the option that, if they got bored, they could pick worms with a mill, something that only 13 people did because the others stated that, despite feeling bored, they felt sorry for acting in this way.
In this way, the scientists concluded that boredom it is too dangerous a factor, since this causes very violent actions, even in people who do not have the common thought of doing them.
