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.

    Yes. I’ve seen comically few movies in my life. Super common for me to not quite understand the plot of a movie especially if I don’t get muh subtitles because I get too mentally distracted. With the help of meds, I can actually focus and understand movies as a sequence of events that are related to each other and tell a story lol. Otherwise the details can be lost on me. I prefer to read usually, since it can be done at my own pace and I can go back and reread if I feel I don’t understand something
