What about someone who truly does not enjoy watching TV or movies?
I understand I’m in a very small minority. However watching TV shows or movies doesn’t interest me at all.
Watching TV or Movies to me is like having stare at a blank wall for 3 hours and forced notice how the faint cracks on the paint spider along it for the entire time. Afterwards I’m supposed to feel like it changed my life or it was somehow an enjoyable experience.
It’s absolutely not my cup of tea.
I don’t hate anyone for enjoying them either. I’ll listen to friends or family talk about things they watch. I enjoy seeing how much they enjoyed watching it. It just doesn’t interest me in the slightest.
I’ve never met someone who doesn’t enjoy movies and TV series at least to some degree. What do you not like? Is it fiction, or stories in general? Do you like documentaries? Podcasts? Books and audiobooks? Role playing games? What about music? What kind of stuff do you do for a living? What do you do during downtime and in your free time?
Sorry if I’m coming on a little strong, I’m just very curious.
I’m not a huge fiction person in general, most of the books I read are textbooks/technical manuals or other non-fiction.
Some documentaries are fine, it’s highly variable based on the subject matter and how much the director tried to make it “movie-like”.
I’m not a fan of music most of the time, I only really listen to it when I’m exercising. It’s basically to set the vibe for my brain.
However I do play role playing games quite a bit, which for some reason my brain has decided is not boring.
Podcasts though, make my brain release that sweet, sweet, dopamine drip… I listened to something like 52 days worth of podcasts last year? Again most of the topics are the same as the books I read.
I do consulting, so podcasts fill the void between meetings, if I need to taking a break, or as an escape hatch so if I have a particularly hellish client, I don’t fire them.
I don’t particularly like having “free time”. If I’m not being productive, my brain goes “Ah, I see we decided on depression as our option. Magnificent choice sir!” I basically have to scratch a particular itch my brain wants me to scratch to maintain my mental health.
Which is partly why I’m in consulting, it scratches that itch and I get paid so it’s kinda a good gig.

Thank you for humoring me, that’s very interesting!
