Talk about whatever, respecting the rules established by Lemmygrad. Failing to comply with the rules will grant you a few warnings, insisting on breaking them will grant you a beautiful shiny banwall.

Hello, comrades. I'm here for your suggestions.

As the title says, I have been having a really hard time trying to read texts. I just find it very hard to concentrate on large text. I used to love reading, but all the years spent in the education system and having to read/study for lessons that I don't really care for made me (or, most probably, my brain) dislike reading, and I still haven't fully overcome that state of mind. I start to read a book, but I can't keep reading for long. Also I'm easily getting distracted (surely a trait that I picked up while being on social media), so practically reading any book or long text, even if I find it really interesting or useful, gets even harder and progress may slow down to < 10 pages a day at times.

So, has anything like that ever occured to you? How did you overcome it? Thank you for reading this, comments will be appreciated.

Edit: Thank you for all the replies! It seems like many comrades went through something similar and I appreciate your replies.
