This is so me!!

Ooooohhh truth.

Sometimes I am reading and I completely zone out and think about other things and I have to reread the whole paragraph again

The worst one for me was Moby D**k. It wasn't so much excited as confused. Sometimes I would read a paragraph and have to stop and try to let my brain parse what I just read and then read it again to check if I understood it. Some paragraphs I had to read 3 or 4 times. It was possibly the most difficult book for me. Not really worth it.

You are NOT alone. I thought it was just me

I do that.

It the reason why speed readers are taught to read with there fingers. It keep you from rereading paragraphs you already read. Most people do this without even realizing. The average person rereads 1/3 of everything they read.

Sometimes I have to cover the part of the page I haven't read yet so I don't do this. Haha.

A good book is the springboard of daydreams.

Yess!!

No, I definitely do that

Yep! Sometimes I have to read the book a second time slowly after I gobble it up the first time

Oh every time, I drive myself crazy.

not alone

YES

So Very Very not alone. I do this A LOT.

Had to read three time because I didn't know what they meant about reading their eyes

I do this, but then I also like to reread paragraphs I really like several times over.

Def not alone. Hate when ppl close to us ND's gaslight us.

I hate when that happens! Because then I sometimes accidentally spoil something for myself

My roommate and I both skipped the same critical paragraphs in a book for a class. So, yeah.

Im dyslexic and this is one of our strongest traits when reading aparently

I get stuck on the same page a lot.

Come on, this happens to everyone.

Surely it depends on what you're reading? Some books are wham-bam-slam action and you can read about five words a page and still understand them, and some books are delicate, intricate poetry and every word has weight. Either can be great books, but you read them differently.

No problem: You are NOT alone on this. Happens ALL the time.

I do this. If the story is getting really intense, or I'm worried about a character, or excited about what is about to happen--I have a hard time not skipping ahead. I don't WANT to skip ahead, but my brain is like we need to know now. And I often have to do go back and reread the parts I skipped because I couldn't wait to see what was about to happen.

you are very much not alone

I just open books at any random page and begin reading. Eventually I'll have gotten through most of it. Audio books, for me, are worthless. I have too many thoughts and impulses running rampant and can't pay attention to anything being said.

I do that all the time

Oh yeah, I do it all the time, even when I don't want to XD Either I'm totally fascinated by what I'm reading and can't wait to find out what happens next. Or I'm not interested at all but I have to read it and just want to get it over with.

Oh yeah, you’re alone alright

Welcome to my weekend mental cycle.

So, so, so true!!

Every d*mn time.

Hyper independent over here

I'm not a gifted kid, but I've always been a bookworm. I did have a period where I lost interest in reading and it made me so sad. Fortunately, I was able to overcome my slump and I've come to realise that I'll always go back to reading even if I take a lot detours with my other hobbies. Reading will always be my favourite thing in this world.

Nooooo!!! I’ve literally screenshot like half of this post! Hahaha!!

Not only do I get anxiety about that but I stress about not knowing if I’ll have to make a left turn without a traffic light, that I won’t know what lane I need to be in and which lanes end, wondering how many u-turns I’ll have to make when I screw up the GPS’s step by step directions, will there be a roundabout? I could go on.

I don’t remember posting this but I must have because it sounds exactly like the inside of my brain.

Every time I open my mouth, pretty much

You found your true self, celebrate. Or not

People say I am smart, then I look around at my life and think "prove it"

It's an overused trope fiction writers use. Never heard of it happening in the real world.

Or... you start it in private and tell NO ONE because she raised you to believe that no matter how well you did, that it was a failure anyhow - so now you're in constant paralyzing fear of 'failing', and that NOTHING you do is good enough. Then ... you see random-others on the internet posting/selling/advertising ridiculously sub-par garbage... and you wonder "I can NOT possibly be that bad. How are these people getting away with it?"

Everyday at work.

At 3am my hip hurts so I have to adjust sleeping positions but when the cats realize I am awake they will relentlessly bug me until I pay attention to them

Every. Damn. Day.

i have a sticker chest resting in my "s..t that u'll need someday for sure" drawer

I'm feeling that

If I say I am in Paris and you see me in the local market next day, you're in Paris too. No need to make it complicated.

I got misophonia (Idk, self diag'ed maybe) and I can't watch anything on phone with sound. If it ain't have subtitles I am not watching it however if it's on TV or big screen and the sound volume is just enough I don't get that mad. I tried to work on it and normalize after being married but couldn't pretend to be okay so my wife understands it and doesn't play videos without headfones or going to other room. I sometimes feel bad for her :( I read people getting irritated by other people's loud phones in public all the time but that makes me extramad and I have picked multiple fights for this very reason because asking nicely didn't help.

Damn...I kinda have to agree

This was my childhood so I don’t think my heartbreaks anymore. It’s more like it’s hardened edges ju— …

My dream is to be able to live without a job.
