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 minored in Film Studies in college and never had a problem, these days its a lot more difficult, cant decide if my symptoms changed over the course of 15 years or if its the advent of smart phones and growth of the internet over that time.
