I don't feel like everything is boring, but I have come to feel like the obstacles to doing anything I really want are so impenetrable, and so absurdly stupid, that life seems pretty meaningless to me. Sort of like "the banality of evil" but not quite evil, and now it's society at large and daily life. I didn't start this way, believe me.
I have felt a little like you describe at times in the past. Usually it's because I need something new. There's usually something that is interesting, even marginally so, and I try to dive into it. Some idea for a project, something involving some effort. It's very easy to have your life surrounded by sameness, sort of like overly specific recommendation systems. Breaking out of that is useful. You also never really know where something interesting will strike, so go looking for it. Start something new, a new project, a new exercise, a new activity, do something different.
Therapy can be helpful with the right therapist too, if you want to go that route. Just be honest with them and yourself or you won't get anything out of it.
