Ie do. You talk to your TV?
Shout at it?
Laugh?
Cry?
Or can you sit for hours watching and absorbing the Information?
What about when watching with someone else?
Can they talk and ask questions or should they be quiet?
I do now that I am older. Quite often, I will cry a bit for different reasons, but, often because of memories.
For instance, I can watch an old episode of "Star Trek" (aka for idiots "Star Trek: The Original Series") and I can appreciate how good that show really was - something I really couldn't process when I was young and hadn't lived several decades.
But, also, I get affected because I mourn the lack of quality and abundance of crap in our entertainment media today. In a way, it's like watching a slow death of everything that was important. It's also watching a slow death of the future as young people today or the people to come will not have learned from the past and are doomed to make the same errors. Every day that I come here and read so many opinions of young people, especially males, it saddens me that things are going backwards and that they will all have to suffer in the The School of Hard Knocks. When the fools and idiots suffer, they deserve it, but the innocent who are impacted by those fools and idiots do not.
Still, yes, there are plenty of scenes in which I let my empathic sense take over. For instance, if I watch "The Time Traveler's Wife" or "Somewhere In Time" or "The Adjustment Bureau". Also, primarily toward the end of these movies: "The Shawshank Redemption", "Forrest Gump", "The Sixth Sense", "The Green Mile", "Cast Away", "AI: Artificial Intelligence", and "Close Encounters of the Third Kind".
Other times, my anger and fury builds as when I watch "Schindler's List" or "Saving Private Ryan" or even in "Aliens" when you can really connect with the absolute genocidal hatred that Sigourney Weaver's Ellen Ripley has for those remorseless killers (I will NOT call them "xenomorphs"; only idiots do that.).
=========
As you get older, one of three things will happen:
You will either
1. get colder and more immune to suffering in the universe because "it happens"
OR
2. become more sympathetic or empathetic because the pain and lessons that The School of Hard Knocks has taught you.
OR
3. A combination of both - you feel for the innocent suffers but have little empathy for the fools and idiots whom Nature will show no mercy and will take out illustrating evolution in action.
==================
I shout at my TV when refs have a blown call or blown non-call.
Sometimes, but not heavily. However; it depends on what I'm watching and how it moves me.
Grandma used to watch soaps and game shows and always talked to the people on the t. v.!!
These days, the only "t. v." that I watch are DVD's of older shows that I like a lot and only when I'm eating. But, when I was a kid, I watched t. v. for hours on end!! Never having much ion the way of friends, t. v. is where I learned all kinds of stuff I never would've learned just siting around the house and staring at the walls! Back then, there were a lot of great shows to watch! Today, it's 99% garbage!!
I stopped watching t. v., for the mostly part, in the mid `80's, especially the early `90's!! Other than about 7 shows that I got interested in ("The Wonder Years", "Heroes", "The Journeyman", "Roswell", "Chuck", "American Dreams" and one other show about aliens in the everglades, that I don't recall the name of), the only t. v. I've bothered with in the past 25 years are old shows from when I was a kid and an occasional game show or two if I just happen to spot it after those other shows are done. Recently, I haven't had ANY t. v., outside of DVD's, in the past 2 years!
You talk to your TV? Yes, sometimes I do😂😂 Especially if I'm watching a soap opera or the news.
Shout at it? No.
Laugh? Yes, if there's something I think it's funny or something ridiculous or nonsensical.
Cry? Only if I'm hearing/watching a sad story, something that I can relate to. Or if the soap really gets me.
Or can you sit for hours watching and absorbing the Information? Only if I'm bored or wasting time.
What about when watching with someone else? If I'm with someone I usually comment on what we are watching. Unless, it's someone I don't want to talk to.
Can they talk and ask questions or should they be quiet? It depends. If I want to talk to them and if I'm watching something that is recorded, then I can stop and respond them. But if I'm watching something live or if it's in a foreigner language and has no subtitles, then yes they should be quiet.
If someones fighting i definitely scream GET THAT HOE! BEAT DAT HOE UP 😂 I’m definitely the instigator type when it comes to fights. I watcha lot of reality shows so laughter and screaming at the tv is common. I rarely cry unless my fave character or a kid dies. I’m a talker when watching tv with others lmao

I like yelling at the "Great British Baking Show."
"Really you're crying over a cake? The people who sold Africans and burned down the White House? Hahaha.
When i used to watch football ⚽ i did talk to the TV 😂. Now it's mostly laughing because i watch tons of comedy. Cry! It happens, last time it happened was when i watched the Michael Schumacher doc on Netflix.
I usually do not. I tend to have a poker face while watching TV. Doesn't matter if my favorite character dies, I still have it. Once in a while though I might laugh at something.
Nope I just watch it if it’s some moron bleating on about convid I usually just say oh f**k off that’s about it really.
Now that im older i do react to what im watching on tv. Do you?
u a little bit... mostly with sports
but nothing so dramatic, lol
Since taking medications, my emotions are pretty good.
Yeah I laugh at funny things on tv and I cry if its sad
Depends on the shows, but, yes, quite often.
I can be quiet unless they are talking about our worthless leaders! Then I change the channel!
I do become engaged with a program, just like at a movie. I'll cringe, laugh, look away, talk to the TV and get fidgety or restless.
Yeah. That's actually called believing in what's not real or what's imagined. Put do it with worry too. They also do it with good thoughts too.
I can become tearful at times,
Yes.
Sometimes
sometimes

Too involved
