I can’t really watch anything that doesn’t have a clear arc or start/stop point. Shows are just too long for me. Last thing I liked was Over the Garden Wall which is just a sliced up movie. Love movies though so its not an attention span thing.

People ask me what I do and I cook a lot and draw and read books and kiss my boyfriend. IDK when I would even watch shows lol.

But I tell people this and they can’t understand or get really weird interrogating me how I spend my free time. The happy version of this is some of my coworkers found out I really like dancing and now they ask me ‘are you going dancing this weekend?’ on Thursday or Friday.

    People will forever conflate your dislike of something they like as a value judgement on their choices, from food to clothes to pets to entertainment. We humans are pretty dumb that way. They could also be dealing with a little of their own internalized shame since we are all shamed for “not being productive”.i like my couch time but sometimes worry i could be doing something more “real” with my time instead as well, so I’m happy for you.

      Never understood this, whenever people have totally oppositional views on a thing I like, I tend to ask them about it. I wanna know & understand what the thought processes are behind that, it’s neat
