Bored or Restless?

I used to think I was bored a lot of the time when I currently think I was restless.  I am not sure they aren't the same thing.  I need something to do, talk about, or think about.  So if I'm visiting somebody, it is difficult to stay very long even when I love the person/ people very much and have anxiously anticipated the visit.  I think mostly my toys are at home and it's rude to read when I'm in a group of loved ones.  I am pretty sure surfing the net annoys people I'm talking to and I don't know why I do it. But nobody seems to object to it when I knit.
