What the **** is wrong with me?

Please stop calling it a drama slump.

You can't force yourself out of a slump. If you want to try, start a bunch until something feels right. I've gone through periods where I would watch maybe 10 first episodes before I found something I wanted to continue. Other times I would marathon movies or take a break completely. You could start by looking for something you could enjoy for reasons outside of it being a critical masterpiece (e.g an actor/actress you love or a director/writer/topic) and watch it for enjoyment. That's only if you still really want to break a slump. I think they wear off naturally, though, and you could just wait for something good next season or try again when you're in a better mood.

Well, everyone gets it at some point in their drama-watching lives and it is annoying to describe what happens every time you want to talk about it with someone. It is much quicker and easier to just say drama slump or call it something else, do you know what I mean?

:) I know. But careful because being "nice" is new to me.

Slump
noun

1.
a sudden severe or prolonged fall in the price, value, or amount of something.

So if you suddenly start watching less dramas (due to whatever) you are in a slump. I am not sure why you want it to be called anything else.

I still don't see how that works. I doubt many people wake up one day and are suddenly bored/tired of dramas, it's usually something that develops over time, whether it be because they're watching it too much (my case), or something else.

Also, as it looks to me, it is also implied in the definition of a "drama slump" that you need to force yourself to continue watching dramas even though you're bored.

Not to mention this isn't something drama-related, this is something that happens with everything in life. Dramas, series, anime, games, jobs, you name it.

What did this thread become? And hey Rascal ever plan on coming back on chat or did i scare you away forever?
