Only this case, despite following the syntactic form, has nothing to do with this pattern.

For one, it's not about signaling superiority (which is what the pattern is all about) -- it's merely advice. The sayer (?) is not claiming they are exciting themselves, just that being bored is a sign of not recognizing opportunities to be engaged with something.

(Also, in the general case, the presence of the pattern or the snobbism of the one saying it, doesn't mean it's also wrong).
