It's a good thing I wasn't at the same show. This is one example of how aspies can really clash with other aspies. I go to the theatre instead of renting a video so that I can be totally absorbed in the experience of the movie. The dark room, the huge screen, and everyone sitting quietly to watch the movie are critical parts of the experience for me. I want to pay the extra money to see the movie in the theater so that I can see the movie as it was meant to be seen, without distraction. When other people want to engage in running commentary during the movie, it makes me absolutely berzerk.
A film is a work of art, just like a symphony. I can't imagine that if people went to the symphony and engaged in running commentary throughout the performance, that this kind of thing would be tolerated.
What makes a movie a shared experience is that AFTER the movie, the people who went to the movie together can discuss it, share the laughs again, critique it, or rip it to shreds. But that discussion really isn't very valuable until after seeing the whole movie from beginning to end as a completed work. |

Ahh dear, I used to get told off for over-analysing ALL THE TIME! Which confused me greatly, as I never saw what was wrong with it! I mean, analysis is another way of saying critical thinking... how can you think too much? Isn't self reflection a *good* thing? Lol, so then I over-analysed the comment 'you over-analyse too much'!

| My instinct is to analyze. This may be due to an overabundance of free time on my hands. I ruminate over situations, occasionally long past situations, over and over again. Rumination really is the right word: It's like I'm digesting my thoughts, spitting them up into my conscienceness and ingesting them again until a nutritional product is reached. I think about possible successes, past and current failures, and the happenings in my day--if there were any. Often because of a lack of memorable activity in my days, old events are still fresh in my mind, and those are what is ruminated over. |

I don't over anaylze sh**.
Normal people are so apathetic that they have no natural impulses to understand the world around them.

*chuckles* Ahh, but many people would say that many Aspies are apathetic, more so than NTs! (Too many manys in that sentance [Too many manys in this post!])

Perhaps the differentiation between "analyzing" and "over-analyzing" is that the latter is in danger of becoming overwhelmed in the details and perhaps missing the point to the exercise?
Just a thought.

I have a solution to that.
A highly annoying man starts talking to his date about tanning beds in a very loud voice.
/me whips out sawed off shotgun and blows a few rounds into the celings, and everyone runs screaming from the theater.
After everyone leaves, that should give you some peace.

I prefer to watch movies alone anyways. Anything to clear out the theatre, Prometheus.

I think I over analyze things.. but to me it doesn't seem like I do - I've never known any different.
People tell me I do it all the time.. when I think someone doens't like me, or make big issues out of small ones. |
