Do you ever feel inadequate after watching certain types of entertainment e.g. music videos, movies etc?

Question

For the most part I'm pretty selective in the things I watch e.g. music videos, movies, some music, because of the way it makes me feel afterwards. For example I don't allow myself to watch a lot of romance movies because they usually have some hero stud in it that's well... reminiscent of none of the men I've ever met in my lifetime... and music videos (referring to the kind where all the women and men have perfect bodies etc). I love entertainment as much as the next gal, and consider myself an attractive women with a great head on her shoulders... it's just after watching some forms of entertainment it leaves me feeling inadequate, unattractive or empty sometimes. I understand the thrill of getting to vicariously be someone else for a short period of time is fun for the moment, this is afterall why most of us are attracted to most forms of entertainment to begin with, to experience something we normally don't get from our everyday lives... the after effects however aren't always fun

Answer 1

I feel inadequate after watching MOST of the programs on the 'E' channel. It is ALL about Stardom, weight, beauty and popularity! But remind myself that someday, they will all be either nobody and/or dead, just like me. Look at Farrah Fawcet for example.....Who? you ask.

Answer 2

LOL!! Yeah, like when I first said The Messenger. Love the action picture, notwithstanding the way the individuals creep and crawl everywhere in the walls, and ceilings and flooring is sufficient to make me faint. regrettably, I received't watch that action picture on my own. LOL!!! And yeah, said a million,2, and three had the same impression on me.

Answer 3
