Is that really a problem for things like movies and cars, though? When I watch a film, part of the fun is critically examining and discussing it afterwards. If I'm making a huge purchase like a car, I'd want to be extra-conscious about things I'm not 100% satisfied with. Sure, don't be critical about everything in life, but it has its place.
- djakjxnanjak 7y agoSure, make a careful decision when buying your car. But after you buy it, like it! You made a big commitment, and switching costs are high, so you’ll be happier if you feel you made the right decision. After watching a movie, critically analyze it if that makes you happy. You aren’t married to it because you saw it - disliking it won’t hurt you. But when you’re thinking about whether you should go with your friend to watch a movie they want to see, don’t agonize over it for hours, just see it or don’t. There are a million things going on in any movie and you can always find something interesting to pay attention to. If you can afford to spend $15 and a few hours, find a way to enjoy it.
