[Statikkk]

Hi All,

Okay, I have this issue. I believe I've had this all my life, but I've only actually noticed how unusual it is over the last few years, as I became more aware of myself in general.

When I watch tv shows or movies, I find it very difficult to stay engaged. Unless it's either very simple and light, with very few characters and plots, or a topic I find very interesting, I get totally lost within a few minutes. This happens with TV shows as well. I can't get through an episode of LOST or Heroes without losing track of what's going on. I watch both shows religiously, yet if you asked me to summarize the details of what's happened in either show to date you would probably get a very basic, or inaccurate account of the story. I can watch a movie today, and watch the same movie next week, and get as much out of it the second time as I did the first [and sometimes much more].

I also fall asleep while watching movies or tv shows very easily.

Does anyone else have this problem? I've found in recent months that I've become more and more aware of this problem, whereas in the past I was suppressing it by staying out of discussions about movies, and just enjoying it for what it was worth to me. I now realize I'm missing so much of the value, and it's kind of scary. I'm otherwise a fairly [IMHO] normal individual with a successful career [though I do find it difficult to focus sometimes, and this has been my biggest weakness throughout my life]. I've never realized this to be a big deal, but now I'm starting to wonder. I've recently started to question my lack of focus in my job, and I now wonder if the two are related.

Does anyone else share this experience or have any insight as to what this may be indicating? I'd really appreciate any feedback anyone has.

Thanks in advance.
