What your favourite movie genre says about you

If you love watching movies and currently having an identity crisis, you have come to the right place. Don't be offended, because I believe there's more to a person than their favourite movie genre.

ROMANCE

You are most probably single and a hopeless romantic at life. You dream of someday living out the movies you spend sleepless nights watching after your crush seen-zones you for the tenth time that week. You have a strong belief in everyone finding "the one" and getting their happy endings.

ACTION

You have an inferiority complex that you wish to mask with the "macho" vibe you think you give off when saying you only watch action movies. You like explosions in the background which means you always have a strong urge to drive into an oncoming truck and die a heroic, fiery death.

COMEDY

You memorise jokes from the movies because you know they'll come in handy someday. You cannot face reality and have accepted that humour and sarcasm are the only things you can use to remain sane. Other movie genres scare you because they might make you feel things. Emotions are for losers, according to you.

HORROR

You enjoy torturing yourself because you have known no love and believe that pain is the only real emotion. You think you're edgy for liking horror and pride yourself for your high pain tolerance. You force your friends to watch them with you because why should they be happy? You are evil and want to watch the world burn.

DRAMA

You wish you were born 40 years ago so you could join the auntie squad that your peers seem to hate for no reason. You daydream about being the Gossip Girl, and have a diary with all your favourite gossip written down. Your phone gallery is pretty much full of screenshots because you never know when you might need some information or spread a rumour. You like to start fights and have never stood up for someone other than yourself in your life.

THRILLER

Your mom doesn't let you leave the house, ever, so you live vicariously through thrillers. Your bucket list consists of only extreme sports. On the rare occasion that you DO get to go out of the house, you hope that a massive robbery will take place at the bank or a plane will crash on your school building, just so life would stop being so boring.

DOCUMENTARY

You are a self-proclaimed nerd and have decided that useless knowledge is key to survival. You have a lot of time on your hands because you don't have a job or friends; your best friends are a notebook and a plastic point-and-shoot camera. And you don't have real friends because you always want to look the smartest.

SCIENCE FICTION

You think the world right now is quite boring and would love to become a mad scientist just to change that, but your Science grades aren't that great. Hence, you resort to watching science fiction and becoming obsessed until it has completely consumed you and ordinary life no longer holds meaning. You are easily offended yet quite good at self-deprecating jokes.

By the way, if you have multiple favourites then I can assure you you have multiple personality disorder and should consult a doctor immediately.
