Do you get stressed watching movies?

Post Reply New Topic

Okay, this is probably just me overreacting and being overly sensitive as usual, but I get really stressed watching movies sometimes. So much so that I have to pause frequently and pace around the room.

Does anyone experience this?

I don't get stressed. I just can't follow movies usually because my mind wanders.

No, but I have trouble sitting still for two hours and finishing them.

Yes! every 15 minutes or so I have to get up and walk around my house listening to music for a bit, unless the film is really really good.

I also get upset when the main character knows somethings but no one will believe him, it really stresses me.

Not that much, but yes, I do.

Some movies ...yes. The worst ones for me are when somebody gets blamed for somthing they didn't do. ALso horror movies are a nooo waay. I like some action if the blood and gore is minimal. Comedy movies are fun if they are well done, no "dude where's my car" crap, but well thought out humor. I also like mental thrillers...but sometimes they make me nervious too.
Since I usually watch tv instead of movies...my mind gets tired after 45 minutes and need a "comercial break" As much as I hate the interuption, comercials help my mind take a break...so it is not so draining on me.

Yes, but with good movies; only when I am overtired from not enough sleep.

And when I don't like the movie.

No, only if I go to the theatre and there are lots of little kids making noise there. The noise of the movie doesn't bother me, but the noise of the kids do.

I don't generally go to the type of movie that makes me stressed such as horror movies.

Yes particularly when the protagonist makes a bad decision. I try not to do this when others are around, as it irritates them but on my own I may pause a movie a few times and calm down or whatever.

Yeah, quite often. I just react to things so intensely. There's some types of movies and TV shows I won't watch.

Only in boring horror films.

Examples:
Twilight Saga
Paranormal Activity
Paranormal Activity 2
Poltergeist
Zombieland
1408 (major disappointment)

I'm much worse when watching horror movies. But I'll get stressed out watching kid's movies too, sometimes, depending on how they are. I especially hate it when I know something bad is gonna happen, but can't do anything to prevent it.

I don't get stressed per se but when there are segments of movies that I think are stupid, or not contributing to the plot, I have to close my eyes and imagine something else because I want to walk out of the theater. And since I have already paid for the ticket, that would be bad.

*cough* I sometimes have this issue if a movie starts going over 1 hour and 45 minutes, but some movies will captivate me to no end. And some movies I do get involved in alot like 127 Hours, I flinched, cried, and even felt a feeling of real intensity in some of the scenes in that movie, felt good man.

If I am not totally engaged in the movie, then I will spend most of my movie-watching time clock-watching for the movie to end.

A big screen telly or theatre with surround sound up loud kinda freaks me out, especially with lots of action

I prefer a small TV and low sound and dont like fast paced film shots
