Passive Media Intolerance
Condition often experienced by neurodivergent individuals (e.g., those with autism or ADHD), where passive media like movies or TV shows feel unbearably boring, pointless, or mentally exhausting, regardless of how "good" they are considered.
Symptoms may include:
-Immediate boredom during films
-Feeling like all movies are "the same"
-Extreme mental restlessness or zoning out
-Strong preference for interactive or highly stimulating media (like games or animation-heavy content)
