I can’t watch more than 30 seconds without changing the channel. Is really annoying me

I feel that. There are so many times I want to play videogames and just can’t focus on them. When I was a kid it felt like I had laser focus. I could do activities for hours on end. I just don’t have that anymore and it’s depressing sometimes.
My husband wants to binge shows sometimes and I just can’t do that either. I can do at most one episode at a time and sometimes if it’s too long we have to just stop it there and come back to it later.

Yea, that is super frustrating for sure.
Can relate: for the most part I don’t start new shows because it’s hard to pay attention, so I just have old faves on in the background and sometimes try to tune in.
Will say that it’s easier to watch movies and shows with somebody instead of by myself, though.

Man it’s so weird that company/setting can dramatically alter my movie viewing.
But it is totally a thing!!

I don’t have TV, and have been reading. All of a sudden it’s hard to read more than a page or 2.

A page or two is still a good accomplishment @devra .
I also have some difficulty reading .
I devoured Sagan on isfolket and Freja , idun , saga when I was younger but don’t get in to books easily and struggle reading more than a couple pages .
They were just really great captivating books to me .
Authors were margit sandemo and hilde branting I think she’s called Hilde the other one .margit is Margit .
I still try to read regularly.
I enjoyed Stephen king books read the shining and another I think but too scary .exciting n interesting n so but too scary .
Was too afraid to go to toilet even .
don’t want to be afraid .

I thought it was negatives, but I think it’s just that I don’t like mindlessly consuming media anymore that doesn’t interest me

Three positives threads daily or nomads gratitude thread.
Yeah. Both stop me.
I’m very selective with what I like and I’m not gonna waste hours of my life watching a show I think is mid.
But I also have times where there are games I wanna play I know I like but I just can’t summon the energy to play them.

Yeah my concentration is shot to pieces. I can only watch films in parts atm but I want that to change.
I’m having this problem with video games. I keep getting like 8 hours into one then quitting it for another.
Most of my tv watching is YouTube now, I love watching some YouTube. I’m rarely out of stuff to watch, I follow lots of late night show hosts and content creators and retro game reviewers and other stuff. Every now and then I’ll watch a series on a streaming network.
I find it helps to keep it to short one season shows. Right now I’m watching an anime called Sakamoto Days because I saw a super bloody violent ad for it on YouTube and was like well damn that looks like Ninja Scroll I need to watch that immediately. I like it so far. Only 4 episodes in, and it takes me awhile to get through each one cuz I do have focus issues sometimes, but there’s only 10 total then I’ll be done.
My most anticipated show for this year is definitely The Boys’ final season.
It helps me to have like two things open and going back and forth between them if I need to. I’m sure you’ve probably tried that though?
this is the reason I don’t watch t.v. I can never sit still long enough to watch a show.
I had a long period where I had a heck of a time watching tv and movies. Its not as bad as it used to be but I still dont get the same kind of thrill that I did when I was younger. What I really wish I could get back was video games. I would like to participate instead of just sitting there watching tv. I used to really love them but have not been able to get into them much lately.
