Is watching tv shows worth wasting hours of your life seeing fake people live fake lives?
im a schizoid so yes
Based
Well, it's a frogposter. As an oldgay, I can tell you that frogposters are all newbies who want you to think they fit in, by posting le Cinemaphile frog; 100% of them.
You say TV and Film is a waste of time, but so is Cinemaphile, which is what you're doing right now. Please learn what self-awareness is, and then hopefully you'll have some.
Not OP but I'm older than all of you and I will post frogs whenever and wherever I please. I am a 2003 originalgay and I can do whatever I want because I am not bowed by authority or consensus.
Will you? Post one and I'll filter it. Go ahead. I'll be filtering threads full of shitskins in my other tab while I wait for you to potentially post something for me to filter.
I'm smarter than you so I can automate adjusting the pixels in every image I post so that you'll never see the same image more than once, rendering your filter an impotent bloated drain on system resources.
If that's true then why didn't you post an image? Tell me after the hide. Consider posting something for me to filter, since you're so fearless. I filter in many different ways.
I said: I post frogs whenever and wherever I please. I do NOT post at the behest of simpletons and nobodies. I am king of my castle, the opinions of gnats mean nothing to me.
Better dialogue than true detective s4
yeah, me too

Why are we here? Just to suffer? Is it really suffering if I feel nothing? I'm not sure.
you at least have friends, I just have colleagues and people I'm "good with"
havent had a friend since elementary school
None of these “friends” really know me since I’ve been hiding behind a fake mask the entire time they’ve known me. I just reflect whatever it seems like they enjoy back at them and it’s tiresome to do for long periods of time.
are you at least on your way to a good degree? i'm a med student.
i have a theoretical interest in people, i'm not even repulsive to women, i just dont know how to talk or what to talk about and just how to do the whole "socialising" thing
so i don't really bother. my dopamine must be fricked from years of porn use
Engineering so at least I’ll have enough money to be comfortable for the rest of this dreaded existence
"Hungry for love" is not a Schizoid feature. It's actually the antithesis of the disorder and more along the Avoidant path.
chart says it is
but i don't think i have schizoid personality disorder, just the personality trait
i'm not anxious or scared, just largely disinterested
Yes
Because trough stories you can live a 1000 lifetimes
>trough
Yep, there's your average viewer
I'm a normal sex-haver so I know how to find the appropriate balance.
If television is getting in the way of having a relationship with a woman who holds your hand and breathes in your face every time you fall asleep you should watch less television. But you don't have to watch no television.
Autists tend to min-max habits and behaviours
What level of pretentiousness do you have to be on to go on the television board and ask this
Everyone i know and ever met is a piece of shit so yes
>Is watching tv shows worth wasting hours of your life
If you weren't "wasting hours" watching tv you'd be wasting hours posting on Cinemaphile. You were never going to use that time to better yourself.
As opposed to what? Staring out the window? For starters you are aware there are things called documentaries right? Then there's another thing called historical fiction.
>there are things called documentaries right? Then there's another thing called historical fiction.
Just as fake as fiction
Yes, outside is overrated. If you arent a normie, you feel worse trying to live your own life than watching the main character.
Nothing fun and interesting happens to a loser like me. The only realistic possibility of interesting is something bad happening, which id rather watch happen to someone else.

That's how all non-normalgays feel. You know what I did a lot in my life? I would just go outside and walk (in the city, I mean, so I saw thousands of people living lives better than mine). Doing something like that is no different to watching TV and Film. Some people are just observers, making this the right hobby for them.
For example: I'm walking in the city and I see people entering and exiting a hotel. Could I walk into that hotel? Yes, but I couldn't afford a room. If I watch a movie, I get to see people do things I never could. That means TV and Film isn't a waste of time at all, and it's necessary escapism, which is why everyone does it.
Exactly. Ive found even niche hobbies suck on a community level. Noone wants to fricking know you if you're some random over-the-hill quiet dude.
Thats why social cope mechanisms like podcasts and twitch streams got so popular.

Why do you think an anime fan might have sat by himself in high school? It happened to me. If you want to talk about something the npcs don't enjoy, you're forced to come somewhere to like Cinemaphile.
I came to Cinemaphile when I was a teenager; There were other anime fans, other gamers, and it became my home. People who have things to do in the real world should just do them, and leave us alone.
Same here. I like going out and just walking in the city at like 5-8pm where everyone is coming home from work/school or going out. I like just observing people, I feel like the walking, the nice evening breeze and seeing people, even if not interacting with them, keeps me sane. Every shut in NEET should do it.
>I like just observing people, I feel like the walking, the nice evening breeze and seeing people, even if not interacting with them, keeps me sane. Every shut in NEET should do it.
I used to do it, and I don't anymore, because I find it too depressing now. I used to have a bit of money, and that's why I went out and did stuff in the city. I'm poorer than I was back then, so I just stay home now. Doing anything costs money, and if you have none, there's no reason to go out. I did enjoy that period of my life, however. I would legitimately walk for hours, and long distances, because it was like an adventure. I don't really want to explore anymore, and I'm just waiting for life to be over.
Why do you think its depressing?
Did your ADHD not allow you to read my post? It's depressing because if I go out, I'd be walking among people who have more money than me. People shopping for clothes, or more expensive stuff, all stuff that I can't afford. How is that not depressing? I always did it by myself too, and other people have friends or family.
How old are you?
I am 30 years old, and turning 31 this year. I'm basically an old man now, because I tried stuff in my 20s, but I've given up now that I'm a Wizard.
No, it's much better to play visual novels imagining you're living those lives by self-inserting.
I used to play Visual Novels, but I'd probably find them cringe now. If I wanted to play a Visual Novel, I'd write a story where I get to decide what happens. No need to wait hours for the gay protag to fug someone when I can start my story like that.
>I'd probably find them cringe now
Cringe.
Miniseries are much better because some of them are essentially long art films (and therefore much more fulfilling and thought provoking). There are classics like fanny and alexander, scenes from a marriage but some recent ones are very good as well, I watched the curse recently and it is one of my favourite things I've seen in a long long time.
I don't watch TV and I barely watch movies. Haven't even seen Oppenheimer or Flower Moon yet I've been participating in all the threads as if I have
