How pathetic is this or not at all?

[Guardian of the Rain]

I have a very dull and mundane life. The vast majority of excitement and anticipation in my life comes from TV shows and movies.
For example, currently, I know I'm always gonna have good Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Fridays because of my favorite shows, Flash, Arrow, and Shark Tank.
I thought of making this thread because I keep thinking how excited I am to watch Creed on Saturday.
Sometimes I think I'd really like to just die already, or at least I wouldn't mind. But then I'd think that I'd like to stay alive longer just to be able to finish my favorite shows and catch all the awesome movies coming out soon (Star Wars, BvS, Suicide Squad, Civil War, and all the other Marvel and DC movies announced)

Is it normal for TV shows and movies be responsible for so much of a person's joy?

I have a job at a warehouse, man. It's lame but it pays the bills.

at least i dont spend my money on any of these ... coz of file sharing ... so i dont get sad or happy in case i lose my tv shows or movies .... moderation is d only way for any thing if not its called obsession or greed n ppl suffer

The point of life is to enjoy what you're doing. Time spent doing something you love is no minute wasted.

It's not unusual. The reason the entertainment industry as a whole thrives and makes so much money, is because it brings people joy for the most part. Tons of people have found solace in it.

tv is life however too much can lead to depression

 

[ChicagoJhawk]

I guess as long as ur enjoying what ur doing no reason to stop it

There is no reason you should look down on yourselff. Everyone has their hobbies.

Agreed, but I know that at some point I'm gonna have to put an end to it because with my logic, I'd be content with living a long lame life and die natural death because good TV shows and movies will always keep being made.

I watch as much entertainment as any other person. It's just that my only joy comes from it. That's the odd part.

Ugh, TV isn't life lol. I am not like that. My family is everything to me.

True. It's right and wrong at the same time

lol "tv is life" that's pretty much true in my case. These damn networks and producers need to stop making addictive shows

I guess as long as ur enjoying what ur doing no reason to stop it

Very well. Thanks

Thanks, man. Just looking for outside opinions

I'm really happy for you for that. That's an amazing thing. Hope you have a great Thanksgiving with them

are you sure it comes from it ??? what about your family (take a close look at them before replying )
what about ur gf if u have 1
what about ur friends
what about sports
what about gaming
anyways your situation might be temporary it can change without u realizing it or there will be a day when u will hate n get bored of tv shows hope is beautiful isnt it

At least you enjoy what you're doing. Don't let anyone tell you how to live your life.

It is very pathetic. But you can make it better. I wouldn't say that it's bad for someone's joy to come out of that, because I get joy out of it too. Find a hobby of some sort, like sports. They're fun and they helped me when I was kind of(not really) in a situation like yours. Who knows? You might find your good at it and join your local team. Possibilities are endless. And even if you don't find it suiting, you have your family. And if nothing else works then maybe you were just made to binge watch t.v. and movies.

 

[Nick01]

Not at all. It's better than not having anything to look forward to.

 

[Troyg39]

Nothing "wrong" with it per se. Netflix (or tv) and chill is like a given for me and my girl on a daily. It's usually the most enjoyable part of my day. But it ain't really productive so if you have other goals it's a good idea to fit some other activities in there.

Not in this day and age

I'd rather not explain my circumstances further because I don't want it to seem like I'm seeking pity (maybe I was subconsciously when I was making this thread)
But anyway, thanks for your words. They're very appreciated

lol at that last sentence. Thanks for your advice and honesty.

Thanks, man. Wow. I'm surprised at how supportive you guys are being. My faith in humanity may have just increased a bit
