yeah kinda, it feels like it's just not fun. like i could be playing instead. but i often feel the same way when i play. like, not stimulating enough

To the degree that I'm trying to lead you anywhere, I'd suggest that it might be worth looking into non-willpower based discomfort tolerance approaches? i.e. less "This is awful but I can force myself to do it" and more "This kinda sucks but it's manageable".
i go on twitter lol. or i don't and use 100500% of my willpower every second but it feels baad
In general my working model of a lot of ADHD behaviour is that it's a way of distracting yourself from negative emotional states, so boredom both feels unsafe and may actually be unsafe if it is insufficiently stimulating to provide that distraction and you're in a bad way.

So I was hoping that by looking at the texture of the boredom and seeing how you feel about it you might find something useful there.

a bit confused on this one, are you saying that boredom feels bad because my natural state is bad and i have nothing to distract myself from it?
-
Not necessarily your *natural* state, but yeah if there's often a lot of negative feelings going on or if you have a tendency to ruminate on bad things with left to your own thoughts, boredom can feel unsafe because you're vulnerable to doing that.
