Limitations to interact with each other directly, face to face and meet physically make humans have a fairly low level of communication and mobility of activities where they are conditioned to do their respective jobs without meeting with fellow individuals,even to communicate briefly even now feels very difficult to do directly. These conditions encourage the emergence of feelings of loneliness and boredom by individuals, especially adolescents. In general psychological concepts, there is a theory that explains that individual motivation is related to the emotions they feel. Because basically individuals do something because of the feelings that they feel and provide a stimulus to act according to their mindset.

This article aims to analyze the relevance of the theory of motivation and emotion to adolescent behavior during the pandemic, namely seeking entertainment for the anxiety they feel. The research method uses qualitative methods with library research.
