Papersamurai @papersamurai00.bsky.social · 20/01/2026It's an easy feeling to get. I try to throw it off by saying "fine. Screw understanding this. I'm trying to enjoy myself. If it's miserable then I'll go do something else." I save my studying for my actual on-purpose studies, like school or art practice. Rest time should be enjoyable. 010
TonicSeal 🦭 Selkie Vtuber @tonicseal.bsky.social · 20/01/2026I would suggest wearing glasses to get that boost to INT but it seems you're already taking advantage of that 👓 000
CGBPhalanx @cgbphalanx.bsky.social · 20/01/2026I think it just means the story had bad pacing or the characters were simply not written well enough to be engaging despite the slow pacing. 000
folklorick.bsky.social @folklorick.bsky.social · 20/01/2026I finish boring/bad media so I know precisely why it was so boring and/or so bad 110

tortoisehat @tortoisehat.bsky.social · 20/01/2026Exposure makes you "smarter" ig. I think it's a good thing to finish a story even if you don't know where it goes. Often times I had to reread/rewatch/rethink something to actually appreciate it. 000

Egg Flutes🖋️ @eggflutes.bsky.social · 20/01/2026lmaoo i try to find indepth analysisi videos for things like that. Usually my ignorance prevents me from noticing how good something is, and the othertimes its just plain mid 120
david @boidavidman.bsky.social · 20/01/2026for me it's similar, but instead of feeling not smart enough I just feel rude, like I chose to click on this video, I don't wanna just kick them out after only a quarter of it 000
Titus Tathurai | Interdimentional VTuber ☄️✨🌌 @tathurai.bsky.social · 20/01/2026Are you learning from something boring even if you finish it? Often it's better to abandon what truly bores you and invest the recovered time in something more intellectually stimulating. 140

Kia 🏳️⚧️🇵🇸🇺🇦 @kingofzodiac.bsky.social · 20/01/2026Look at it like this, if you stop because you were bored there’s the chance that someday you’ll find a new perspective and you’ll come back to it with fresh eyes ! It’s a fun discovery process. 000

Jace Pento @jace-pento.bsky.social · 20/01/2026I'm terrible at droping things I dislike. I spent 9 months last year not starting any new anime because I had to finish one I'd started that I found intensly dull. 010

CagedHeart @caged-heart.bsky.social · 20/01/2026Just because a story has good ideas behind it does’t mean it’s well-executed. 000
immanuel_aj @immanuel-aj.bsky.social · 21/01/2026That's fine. You can just take your time and do it slowly if it's boring. 000
