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)

Get the Passive Media Intolerance mug.When someone should be listening to what you are saying but they are mentally too busy thinking of what they want to say or are interrupting you to get their point across or jump ahead of you telling the story because they can't wait for you to finish. This causes them to ask a question about the thing you are talking about before you are able to get it out or ask about something you said but they missed because they aren't really listening. As opposed to an active listener who is genuinely interested in hearing what you are trying to tell them regarding an incident or a story or information.
You: So I told her don't be all up in my business because. ..
Them: So she left or stayed or what?
You: I'm trying to tell you what happened. Don't be such a passive listener.
