My boyfriend is like that, he sometimes literally needs timeout during reality and reality-like TV shows (like The Office) when he feels uncomfortable for the characters. So you're not alone!  |
Perhaps you're right, Namaste. Probably that's why I haven't finished watching "Saw"; it was not scary but very painful for me. But what should I do about these feelings?
For now I can see only two possible solutions:
1. I can "suffer" through unpleasant moment to allow myself to enjoy the whole experience. I'm doing it now.
2. I can stop watching TV and going to the cinema, but that means surrendering to my emotions and skipping a lot of great movies. I can also choose only "pleasant" films, but that's seems unreliable and just wrong.
I know there's a third solution. The one that will enable me to watch anything I choose and enjoy the experience. I just have to find it.
Maybe the real problem hides deeper in me?
