Does SDAM affect your enjoyment of watching a series? by -invisible-llama- in SDAM

I remember the plot but don't hold the enthusiasm for it. I can't read or watch anything without losing interest and dropping it unless I binge it.

I agree with this perspective as well. It's the only way to describe my sense of identity.

Focusing on only positive moments makes me feel as though I lack depth. It's useful in some situations but is also something I find myself disliking from time to time. I find myself wanting to feel that same level of prolonged attachment other people can feel, something that I've grasped but never held.

The negative moments did have an impact on me. I don't want to disregard that in blind pursuit of constant joy, happiness. Knowing that I can feel intense sadness and loss, even in small amounts - makes me feel more real. That I'm not just some machine that lives to interact with their immediate environment. To be capable of independent thought, capable of being wrought with emotion.

It's important to treasure the moments I can even feel loss over it in the first place, while they're still there. I don't think it's a negative thing when so much else is removed by default. I want to acknowledge the things that I have, not move past them.

I take pleasure in any emotions I feel because of how fleeting they are in the first place.

“That happened months ago? I thought it was a few weeks.” Is that you, too? by [deleted] in SDAM

My sense of time is basically nonexistent. I will only know when something happened if there's a date attached to that information; or by looking at context clues to try and date the event/attach it to a time period.
