I realized this while watching the movie while simultaneously searching for reviews on the movie I was watching. Reading other people's words, other people's perspectives. Because I was doing this, I didn't watch the movie intently. I wasn't fully engaged.
I also do this with restaurants and food. For some odd reason, I have to read these reviews and see how other people feel. I can't just experience anything for myself. I have this need to know something before I get in. I can't just leap before I look.
