Peace isn’t boring. You’re just used to living at full volume.

When your normal has been noise, calm registers as something being wrong. No crisis, nobody angry at you, nothing to fix, and instead of relief you get a restless itch and an urge to go stir something up. That is not proof that quiet is not for you. It is what happens when the volume drops and your ears have not adjusted yet.

Give a calm stretch more than a day before you call it dull. The first few are the loud ones, because whatever you were outrunning finally lands. Keep your hands busy, stay in it, and check around day four whether boring has started feeling more like rested.
