Watching (and enjoying) the same things again and again

Post Reply New Topic

yes me watching things over and over again has been a big problem for my family, i once watched the rocky horror picture show 20 times in 2 weeks, my parents were so fed up of it, but everytime i watched it i was just as excited as the first time i watched it, i literally could not stop, it did take up an awful lot of time, i even bought it to college and watched it in the canteen

I watch the same movies and shows over and over, even though I have all of the details memorized. It is so incredibly soothing. I will watch a movie every night before I go to sleep. If I have to watch it multiple times before I doze off, I will. When I doze off during the movie, the next night I just start watching it at the point I left off the night before. I will switch to a new movie after about a month or two. I have always been fascinated by most things repetitive...images, words, certain sounds. I think of it as mental stimming, so it's a good thing.
