50 Of The Most Relatable, Wholesome, Funny, And Positive Internet Posts You Might See All Day

That is REALLY cool!

I definately do this. If I'm reading something exciting. If it's boring, I read every word and yet none of it enters my memory.

Sounds like BF doesn't read.

you are not alone

I have to cover the page if I flip over to the end of the chapter but it's on the right-hand page!

Come on, who does NOT do this? I’d like to know that, first.

I do it!

I'll read whole pages and not absorb a single thing I just read. The weird thing is I do it watching TV also. I never watch anything that I can't rewind.

only all the time

You are not alone!

Doesn’t everyone do this?

You’re not alone

You are not alone

You are definitely not alone

I've been known to hold my hand over the rest of the page so I don't give myself accidental spoilers during exciting moments.

I do this all the time, lol

Noone does that....you need to check yourself for ADHD

Apart from skipping paragraphs, this is pretty normal. The brain usually tends to insert what has been missed. Obviously not exactly, but usually close enough to make sense.

Yup, same here.

Omg so true

You are not alone.

happens to me, but it's usually because my mind can't stay focused for long paragraphs of text with no breaks.

You are NOT alone! I have had to admonish myself. "I think the paragraph you just skimmed in your hurry to get to the next exciting part actually had some beautiful language. Now go back and re-read it slowly. Savor it."

I read every single word (not necessarily in the right order), but I think there's a buffer issue between eyeballs and memory so sometimes I need to go back and redo bits. Annoyingly it happens more when I'm more invested in the story.

I think I'm more like I read it but I don't absorb it so then it the book conversation in my head with my own narrator...I'm like... What did he just say? Then I have to go back and reread! Hehehehe

You are not alone.

Surely everyone does that sometimes? For me it's more often when I'm distracted and realise I've just 'read' half a page without the words actually getting into my brain. Skim-reading can be a deliberate tactic if you want to know what happens but the writing itself isn't that good - not quite as bad as just skipping to the last page in a whodunnit, but sometimes the level of detail can be a little OTT.

I totally do this.

Not alone, I sometimes skip paragraphs too and have to go back.

What, I've done this so much, too. hope op had plenty of responses back then to know they weren't alone.

OP is not alone, I do that too. I also have to keep myself from reading the last few lines of the book, just to know all ends well. I have even had it happen that I was so upset by what was happening in the story I had to put the book away for a couple of weeks/months to get the courage to read on. Reading is so much fun!

I'm an editor and I try to separate boring and exciting parts visually. The parts you want to read are at the top, and in-depth at the bottom under a new header. In between is the explanation. Are you guys telling me you're skipping over the exciting parts out of sheer enthusiasm?

Yes. You want to know, but you don't want to know. It can be a real struggle to continue to read the story the way you're supposed to.

This is such a habit for me, that I only realise I'm doing it when the plot or text doesn't make sense. Your bf is wrong: lots of people do this.

Same! It's not about the love for the item that they give you, but who gave it to you and what it means to have something from them.

I'm a simple girl... I see a puppy it's an automatic upvote

That is impeccable penmanship for a 6 year old. SMH

There's a support group for compulsive talkers. It's called Onanonanonanon.

Anyone who entered the pandemic married with children and ended it not divorced, pregnant, or having attempted murder, should probrably also get an award. I got a cat, and he's still my precious baby, but there is not a human in the world I would want to live with for 6 weeks.

About six months into the pandemic, I learned to do the eye crinkle thing so that people knew I was smiling at them. New social skill, unlocked!

So…you obliged, right?

Good job Jenn!

My father was usually snoring in his recliner, and my mother was still doing whatever busy work she had, and we never knew what would bring her through the TV room, so it was hit or miss.
