IDK if this is a normal thing for people with ADHD but do you guys find it hard to watch movies? There always super slow paced and require hours worth of your attention. I can watch movies but only if I really try and that’s a very draining experience. I only like watching movies if I’m really high.

    This is what it’s like for me too, especially now, like @tiefling@lemmy.blahaj.zone said in their comment, that movies seem to be longer now.

    I’ve got loads of movies at home or on streaming services that I want to watch, but because so many are over two hours long, and essentially have a ritual around them of getting your drinks and snacks together and doing nothing else, I don’t bother putting them on. I’ll sit there for hours and watch something short like Futurama though.

    I’ve even got to the stage where if an episode of something is longer than about 45 minutes, I struggle to decide to watch that too.
