I get this with games too. And shows. And end up just scrolling Lemmy instead of doing anything better with my time…
I am exactly the same; why are we like this?
two reasons:
- because we’re so drained by life that we don’t even have the energy to put forward to doing an activity that we know will enjoy.
- we’re so used to having to scrounge together any free time we can get that we struggle to commit to something that takes any amount of time.
I had a book not too long ago that I was really looking forward to reading. It was written by a guy I didn’t know very well at the time, but it’s a sci-fi novel using the park all us freak kids hung out in back in the 90s as the setting and featuring one of the very odd mentally ill people that came to the park who used to be sort of a mascot.
This is a professionally published book, not something from a vanity press.
After the fifth punctuation error, the second of two on that page, I put down the book without getting past chapter four.
It made me twitch too much.
