I only “watch” music TV stations. It’s really only to have something in the background though. Sometimes but rarely I’ll watch a bit of the news. TV ain’t what it used to be …
its been a long time for me too, i didnt watch any of my own tv the whole of 2018 except a couple of free films on netflix, watched a couple things at a friends but my mum and sister came over for new years eve party and i had the tv on and its made me wonder if its possible to watch tv again.
I hear you but i think tv is better now with more choice but its like i cant choose anything and then if i do try i’m always disappointed, my mood can go up and down when watching tv, its like an emotional rollercoaster and idk what causes it
idk, its a psychological thing, it seems that when i watch these things my mood and emotions get affected really badly, it can even happen with ads, i think i must be really very sensitive to tv, been thinking of getting cartoons but i sense that they will succumb to my feelings
its really deflating bc i just want to fit in and be like everyone else but i know that i’m not and this is one of the things that proves it its really hard to deal with.
I can’t stand much tv especially the ads. My aggravation goes thru the roof. I can watch detective-mystery shows if I have the closed captioning on. I thought it was just me. Trying to watch new shows can be scary. Sorry we share this @Resilient1
There are plenty of shows that are safe from triggers, some of them are aimed at kids but aren’t that bad. I’ll even admit to watching a few episodes of My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic when I felt really down.
