@sica98 Just some short breaks are better than sitting and watching movies all the day.

@sica98 Haha, I know what the side effects are, I experienced them! But honestly, I hardly ever binge watch anything, as I’m always so busy.

I think you should only watch an occasional show that you really like and take a long walk every day unless you have a physically demanding job.

Does binge watching mean watching trailers? I am also a fan of movies but I limit myself and do other things. Watching movies all day without exercising or doing other things is bad. Too much of something is always bad.

I think it depends on how long you are doing it and how often. Everything in moderation.

I think that anything in the extreme or overdone is bad for us. A few hours of a show we enjoy can also do a lot of positive things for us like lift the mood or take our thoughts away from some situations.

I think everyone here seem to agree that binge watching is bad for your overall health.

I do binge-watch despite the fact that I know I have to move around and exercise. Sometimes, I jog in place while binge-watching, that way I can shoot two birds with one stone, But when what I am watching is so interesting, I fail to do this, I hope I could do that more often though. If you do move a lot during your work days, then you deserve to binge-watch during your days off. Otherwise, it would be wise to take some break and perform physical exercise, jogging or walking to keep healthy.

Maybe but what is healthy. Being greedy and fighting inflation and gas prices. The stress that brings then when relaxing when get a chance catch the news of Russia being Russia. May not be healthy but they not exactly creating a healthy world.

I am a person who often has to keep anxiety on a low level or I feel bad so if I ever binge-watch it helps me keep my anxiety down because my mind is on the program and not on how I feel. Also working on my PC has become a habit that keep me calm and I enjoy it but I will try to get myself out and walking at least a couple of times a week to starters,

No, I don't binge watch. There are other activities I enjoy - reading, listening to music, exercising, socializing with friends.

@sica98 Even I watched a show I liked very much, I would stop after watching it for 2-3 hours. I want to do something else.

Not once even you watch a tv show you like and then you just want to see the next episode after the next and so on,it's like going in a rabbit hole.

If by "binge watch" you mean watch a whole series in one sitting, I've never done that.

If I were you, I'd believe the experts. What hinders you from socialising with friends and/or exercising?

I just grew up watching a lot of Tv in my life so it's become a sort of habit for me and for the friend part, I have a best friend who watches with me during this late night binge watch and we socialize during our binge watch.
