I’m in a weird situation, and I’m wondering if anyone else feels the same.
I find it really hard to move on from TV shows I love. Starting a new show is difficult for me because I don’t like shows easily, it has to be exactly what I’m looking for, like a perfect 10/10.
When I do find a show I like, I get obsessed. I start searching for similar shows and add a bunch of them to my watchlist. But here’s the thing, I rarely ever start those new shows. Instead, I end up rewatching the same shows I watched a year ago. Then, after a few months, I rewatch another old favorite.
I do try new shows once in a while, but it’s very rare that I actually enjoy them.
What is this? Is there a name for this kind of thing? Is it normal? Or am I just weird, or something else? I’d really like to hear what others think.
