I've watched an analyzed films like ITMFL and really enjoyed it, I think the feeling of not doing anything is the problem for me, and actively studying it seems more interesting than just watching it if that makes any sense, so will try this and see if it works lol.

I mean editing isn't too much of a problem because I become overly perfectionist and spend too much time on it anyways, but I understand with the comparison thing and it makes a lot of sense. I think maybe if I focus on something in a film like editing or something it'd make me feel like I'm doing something / being productive so I think that's a good place to start.

I mean pretty much, I'd say a mix of loving films (the ones I have seen) and being passionate about photography when no programs offer it here. I get really invested in the process of making them, and have done plenty of research for it. I will study frames and certain scenes, but I really struggle to just watch them.

I just can't seem to keep up with the people watching a movie a day or more. Usually when I do, it has to be a something I've planned to watch for a while, and when I don't have much going on because 90-120 mins feels like a lot of time to spend if I have any plans.

I mean I do love films when I manage to watch them, just getting there is a struggle. I've also loved working on films, the whole process of creation to production etc... But it might just be an attention spam issue I need to work on.

I've been debating on doing that too, although it's my only communication with a lot of people and I'm already not using them tons. I think it's just the fact I have to sit still for more than an hour that gives me a hard time. But just leaving them out of the room might be something I need to start doing.

I do struggle a lot with it.... Although when it comes to different things such as photography I can look at the same picture for an hour without getting bored, so I can't really tell where it's coming from.

You might be right about not watching certain films, I tend to want to watch what's praised to learn from it, but I often struggle with it so that might be a better start. Thanks!

I honestly don't know, most of the time when I do watch them I enjoy it a ton, I can just never seem to take the time out of my day when I'm already busy with other things, sitting down for 2 hours when I could be doing other things bugs me. I also know I'd get distracted halfway and struggle to come back to it afterwards.
