I can't really watch anything that doesn't have a clear arc or start/stop point. Shows are just too long for me. Last thing I liked was Over the Garden Wall which is just a sliced up movie. Love movies though so its not an attention span thing.

People ask me what I do and I cook a lot and draw and read books and kiss my boyfriend. IDK when I would even watch shows lol.

But I tell people this and they can't understand or get really weird interrogating me how I spend my free time. The happy version of this is some of my coworkers found out I really like dancing and now they ask me 'are you going dancing this weekend?' on Thursday or Friday.

It's just a preference thing i guess. I basically exclusively watch shows over movies (asian dramas) because I enjoy following a single story line over multiple weeks/months. But at the same time, I don't really watch shows that often either so I can relate to people asking me what I do in my free time...

I spent half an hour arguing with my sister about why I didn't like House of Usher and than she was like, "Yet you watch Korean soap operas?" Yeah? So what? I like what I like
