My concentration is just awful

I have a very difficult time concentrating on movies these days. If I force myself through I usually have to watch it in segments.

I have to watch a movie over two or three evenings. Movies can create a lot of anxiety in me, but mostly my brain starts to feel overstimulated, and I get this tingly brain feeling, like worms are crawling in my mind, and sometimes I see flashing lights. I made it through The Upside and The New Mutants in one sitting, though. I’m pretty proud of that.

Ita good for me but I am too picky about what to watch. I have been watching Money Heist lately.

In the past 10 years I’ve probably only watched about 5 movies, maybe a few more. Most movies don’t interest me when I see them advertised and of the movies I’ve watched I’m just like “when is this going to be over”. The only movie I’ve watched over the last decade, that I enjoyed, and re-watched was The Martian. When I was younger, in the 80’s and 90’s I watched a lot of TV and movies.

Even TV is hard, I’ve always been a Star Trek fan but watching Discovery and Lower Decks is hard, I don’t enjoy it nearly as much as I enjoyed Next Generation. Even Picard was a little hard to watch. I don’t like what the new guy in charge of Star Trek is doing, Alex Kurtzman.

I do watch reruns of my favourite shows, some news programs, and the late night comedy talk shows. I enjoy those.

I am looking forward to the 3rd season of The Orville.

I used to watch Star Trek Next Generation with my dad. We also watched Deep Space Nine and Voyager. Good memories in those! :slight_smile:

Those are my favs too, but next gen is my favourite show of all time. I also liked Enterprise. They were all done by Rick Berman, I liked how he handled Star Trek.

Good if I’ve picked the show and I’m probably surfing the Net or reading a book if my wife picked the show.

Fair these days
But in all honesty I haven’t watched a full movie in a while.

I can watch sitcoms and my focus is ok.

It varies. Since Now TV dumped NCIS etc I’ve not watched much TV./movies. I’ve attempted to watch a couple of TV movies only to think after about 10-15 minutes that it’s ass gravy.

Mine is terrible. I rarely even bother trying to watch anything anymore. Especially not anything new.

I usually do other things while I watch shows. Knit, cook, doodle, message, etc.
If I just had to sit still and stare at a screen I would scream

I was really bad four years ago, couldn’t watch anything. Now I’m back to normal, except I need subtitles on. For some reason that helps my concentration.

Wow me too! A month ago I was trying to watch a movie when my phone rang. I answered it so turned the tv down a bit and put subtitles on.

I could totally concentrate better! I thought I was crazy - so good to hear I am not the only one!
