Do you guys have difficulties watching movies?
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.

I don't mind watching movies, but it's really hard for me to DECIDE to watch a movie.
If someone asks if I want to watch a movie, the time commitment makes me say no (unless it's something I've REALLY wanted to see), but I'll happily agree to watch a TV show and still end up watching 3 hours or more worth of episodes.
I came here to say the same thing. It's especially bad with streaming services. Row and column after row and column of options is overwhelming.
My wife is in charge of the remote for exactly that reason. I trust her judgement and I don't waste 2 hours scrolling through nothing.
Oh, a new symptom. I was wondering why I was doing that. Also watching dozens of Crunchyroll series at the same time.
This is what it's like for me too, especially now, like @[email protected] 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.
