I will suggest that you do two things: First, try to get some perspective. Second, work on looking for another job that is more satisfying.

People are suggesting things like "travel" and "volunteer" in part because those are ways to get a broader view of the world. If your big problem is that you are bored, then, in the grand scheme of things, it isn't that much of a problem. That doesn't mean you shouldn't try to solve it, but it helps to have some perspective. This isn't really a desperate situation.

Last, you mention in one of your replies that your social skills aren't great. Well, if you are going to solve this without a lot of drama, it will help if you can work on that. Since people are saying there are plenty of companies in the same country you are in that would love to have you, networking is one of the ways to find those jobs.

If you get good perspective and don't turn this into a bigger problem than it really is and then come up with a path forward for finding a more satisfactory job, you can solve this in relatively short order. But having perspective will help you avoid creating drama unnecessarily and turning this into a real crisis when it doesn't have to be.

Best of luck.
