I can’t watch shows about the government like the X-files, I cant watch scary haunted shows like ghost adventures and I can’t watch crime shows involving mental illness or death of children like criminal minds or law and order svu.
I miss being able to watch tv like a normal person.
You’re honestly not missing much. All of those shows you mentioned are crap anyway. I enjoy teevee, but shows like that are repetitive and mentally dulling.
one of my favorite channels is animal planet. like treehouse masters or tanked. its just my partner likes ghost adventures and other haunted ghost shows so does my mother in law. and my father in law likes watching criminal minds or NCIS. Though to be honest NCIS doesn’t bother me too much not like law & order svu.
I used to love everything horror. Silent Hill and Resident Evil were my favorite video games. After I got sick I would see that stuff walking around the house at night. So no more horror. It was really hard to give up but worth it. I also have to be careful with crime shows about actual people murdering others. It triggers an obsession for me to hurt the people I love. Law & Order: SVU is one of my favorite shows. Sometimes it can be hard to watch because of my sexual assault past. For the most part it doesn’t bother me though. If something is triggering I just walk away. 
usually after I watch a horror movie or show i’m incredibly paranoid about what ever the movie or show was about. if it was about murder then i’m paranoid about someone killing me in my sleep. if I watch an alien movie I think i’m going to be abducted. you can figure out the rest of the scenarios
I can’t watch any television at all. None. Zero. For several reasons: the powers that be in television are pushing immoral concepts, immoral behavior, and anti -female ideas onto the public at large, through their commercials, programming and news. They have been doing all of this for the last 33 years that I can tell. It’s very obvious to me.
I get totally free television cable, in the apartment where I live, and I never use it. I consider television to be extremely offensive. Especially network programming.
I can’t watch horror movies. Or movies where children are hurt in any way, like kidnapped. I can’t watch some thrillers. Or conspiracy movies.
Never mind. I don’t watch tv at all. Haven’t for a couple of years.
I can’t watch anything heavy, and the stuff I can watch I have to take a break from every 15 minutes anyway.
The shows here are all crap, I only watch the news.
I think those shows are stupid and I don’t understand why people like them, but personally I can’t anything that is too gory. I can’t do scary movies anymore. Stuff like superhero movies are cool, even zombieland is awesome, but movies like evil dead and killer Joe ■■■■ me up hard. I struggle with violent intrusive thoughts at times and things like that are a trigger. I start to become afraid and very upset.
Yeah, I like comedies, like psych, Brooklyn 99, and political satire like the daily show.
Stand up is also pretty rad. :3
I used to enjoy stuff like that too, but now I find I have concentrate on it too much. I have a lot of music tv channels on, as they don’t require a lot of concentration.
For me its not about concentration, certain things make me derealize, especially commercials actually. Commercials are always so over the top and everything is the best ever or mega super extreme that it sort of becomes a caricature of itself . Things will start to sound different, and it doesn’t make any sense why people are doing things.
Everything will just seem really stupid and random, like why does he care so much about that taco
that’s funny, I know what you mean.
Oh and my dad watches a lot of cooking shows and I was struggling with the point of that yesterday too, like it doesn’t make any sense why people try to put so much energy and work into making one food. Why does food have to be good? What makes that food better? It’s just food. Like I don’t get why people like things
I’m on a diet now, so I find myself drawn to some food shows. Those guys are smart, everybody eats, so even if a small percentage are interested in these shows, they probably make a lot of money.
But why do people work so hard for so little food?
Yeah, that’s something I avoid. If it takes more than 10 minutes, then I don’t do it. I have microwave meals for when I can’t even manage the 10 minutes.
I mainly watch the weather now. I occasionally watch news and sports now but I find myself tuning out of terrorist, and mass shooting incidents because I’m sick of it. I also didn’t care much for the bad blood of the Bengals-Steelers game although I watched the rest of the football playoffs. I also sometimes watch basketball. However I no longer care to watch every game of the season because I get bored of it. I prefer to watch local teams and the games that actually matter rather than watch a sports event just to watch a sports event. And I have quit baseball entirely. I can’t watch horror movies because they remind me of my old experiences. I also have trouble watching shows which have too much to do with sex. I just don’t see a future in that and I hate the “everyone’s got to have it” mentality of the popular culture.
I can’t watch anything that depicts sexual abuse or torture, etc. It makes me want to kill someone. Some movies or shows that depict exorcisms, demon possessions, etc encourage my focus on those things, so I try to avoid them.
