Do you hate watching TV shows and movies?

yes i get that i'm always doing at least one other thing while watching it helps me focus, so i'm playing a game on my phone or sewing or doing something with my hands. subtitles also really help me process what's happening and ngl i'm known to watch everything at the fastest possible speed so on netflix i watch most things at 1.5x and the only thing i don't have on double speed on youtube is music lol

I usually play a game on my phone that doesn't take much concentration so I can pay attention to both things but I definitely have to be doing something with my hands and it helps

yes!! the thing is— i love rewatching my favorite shows, and i hate starting new ones. i feel like either i feel too much or feel nothing at all from watching shows/movies, and so i usually steer clear from anything new and stick to the same old shows 😂

I find I mostly enjoy only movies I've already seen before just to have some feel good sounds while I'm gaming on my phone. Unfortunately I've had to consciously avoid people that have had activities where I felt trapped by even though I once seemed to enjoy them like d&d. Lately my watching has either been YouTube, anime, or tik tok for me.

I relate so much to this!! I’ve started using subtitles/CC and it’s definitely made it so much easier for me stay engaged!

I love having shows on but most times I'll be engaging my brain in another way... Sometimes that's cuddles or back rubs with my bf and sometimes that's crochet or a simple match 3 game on my phone. It also helps me when the subtitles are turned on. Found that last part out by chance because my roommate has ADHD and audio processing delay

Omgggg yes. I can't follow along with characters and action scenes especially piss me off because it's just noise and nonsense to me. I despise movies unless it's something I'm obsessed with.
