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.

    Watching with people, it’s impossible to concentrate and a waste of time as nothing will sink in.

    On my own it’s usually easier, especially as it’s going to be a movie I want to watch. I absolutely cannot watch stuff while high/intoxicated though, I’m far too easily distracted.

    But there’s always going to be a few that I just can’t manage to sit through, no matter how much I’d like to. Watchmen I’ve tried a good few times to see over the years now and no, not happening, it’s just too fucking long.

    (Side note, I also have autism and there are some few films I have seen so many times, to the point where I know the scripts and recite along.)
