It's hard to watch tv sometimes

Post Reply New Topic

Some scenes make me feel anxious and uncomfortable . It tends to be the scenes involving social interaction between two or more characters .

Virtually everything on television these days, including the commercials, centers around sex or the bathroom. Also, the characters can be really hurtful, nasty and underhanded to one another.

TWO????

Or more characters?

That pretty much cuts you out of all dialogue and drama. That leaves only action, and slapstick comedy.

You must live on a diet of the Three Stooges, and Jackie Chan.

I watch a lot of crime drama. I'll have to apologise for my poor description in my first post. It's when there's a scene between two or more people when something bad might happen or be said to one of the characters .

I'm not disputing that it's mega irrational. Another one is scenes on top of a tall building . It's as though someone is really going to fall off and die.

There are too many scene "on top of tall buildings".

Half of crime dramas seem to end with the villain bolting UP stairs to the roof of a high building, or up a flag pole or whatever - some place its obvious he is gonna get surround and trapped (instead fleeing downstairs and escaping to the streets).

But apparently you're not talking about a "social anxiety" (vicarious fear of dealing with people), but about a vicarious physical fear of bodily harm do to falling? Hmmmm...

I'm actually immune to any visuals and auditory projected scenes. To the point of able to eat my meal while watching extreme gore.
At my more sensitive and vulnerable state, I can still dissociate.

Though do feel some discomfort, especially at certain specific characters in specific scenes that might upset or threatened them for entirely different reasons, one not involving related to worry or cringe but something else. I won't tell which.


At worst I'd get jump scared, complete with physical symptoms. So far, I never had a nightmare out of it.
And I rarely back out from anything until I finish the whole thing. Unless it gets really boring...



If it's no longer seeing a projected scene and no longer hearing stuff from the projected audios, no longer have screens as a 'source'... That's when I start worrying. That includes imagined creepy stuff that would make me rush into the light.

My mum and I sometimes get confused with watching films or programs where two people look the same... Occasionally films make no sense due to prosoprognosia. We don't like watching horror films or films full of sexual scenes or too much swearing. It spoils things.

My pedantry often interferes with my enjoyment of watching television, or reading a book, or watching a film, and so on. When a character or a person involved makes a monumentally stupid remark or decision, it often weighs upon my mind and disrupts it for me.

I love social interaction on TV and in movies. I love Tom and Jerry but sometimes I don't feel like watching it because it doesn't have enough social interaction.

I enjoy social interaction on TV shows. I think it's the social interaction that makes the show.
