I'm at the point where I prefer to rewatch shows or movies, and reread books, rather than try something new. The closest I can think to describe it is like slipping into a warm bath. Very cosy.

Lately, I've been working though my film library picking a film from each letter of the alphabet. It encourages me to watch something new, or at least something I may not have seen in the last decade - because it could be a while before I loop back around, so I don't want to throw away the letter!

I just wish I could fully complete a series.

I have so many goddamn shows that I love but have never been able to complete.

Then I end up rewatching the same thing I always do.

A pipe would be: cat /dev/random | tee /dev/null

How? You're reading it because it interests you, so you will likely never forget it.

(Not the person you originally replied to) I forget things no matter how important or interesting they are to me, I have to make serious efforts to remember most things.

I thought this was somewhat common in the neurodiverse "specialist"/hyperfokus part. My bad.

I think that’s more common for autism. My brother is autistic and that characteristic is very true for the things he is interested in. While there is a lot of overlap between autism and ADHD, there are some big differences as well.
