Share a story, ask a question, or start a conversation about (almost) anything you desire. Maybe you'll make some friends in the process.

RULES

  1. Be respectful: no harassment, hate speech, bigotry, and/or trolling.
  2. Encourage conversation in your OP. This means including heavily implicative subject matter when you can and also engaging in your thread when possible.
  3. Avoid controversial topics (e.g. politics or societal debates).
  4. Stay calm: Don’t post angry or to vent or complain. We are a place where everyone can forget about their everyday or not so everyday worries for a moment. Venting, complaining, or posting from a place of anger or resentment doesn't fit the atmosphere we try to foster at all. Feel free to post those on !goodoffmychest@lemmy.world
  5. Keep it clean and SFW
  6. No solicitation such as ads, promotional content, spam, surveys etc.

Recently, I just can't just watch youtube videos on 1.0x speed, I go as fast as 1.5, sometime 1.75 or 2.0. I skim all the articles i read. And I just skim anything said by npcs in video games. I used to be able to take it slow and enjoy the details in games, now I kinda go like ugh, boring... next thing please

I played BOTW and TOTK then I can't finish TOTK anymore. Like its not bad, just feels tedious after playing for a while (barely been 2 months)

Is this a thing? Getting older = less patience? (I'm not even old lol, still only a young adult)

I was like this, but I realized that it was because I was stressed, that I always thought that I didn't deserve to watch that video or play that game or do that hobby, so I rushed through them so I wounds feel as guilty. I started splitting my day into chunks and I told myself that I won't work after 6. So now, after 6, I don't feel guilty for relaxing anymore. I still watch videos at 1.25, but not 2x anymore :P

You probably don't have the same issues as me, but I thought I'd share.
