I call it “reading with my eyes but not my brain”, but I’m one of those weirdos who doesn’t think you need to turn every god damned niche thing into a new word or initialism just to gatekeep against those who didn’t know the new word just made up.
It’s not that deep bro relax
how exactly do you think jargon happens “bro”?
Because it’s easier to refer to something with a single word or abbreviation than to have to explain the entire concept?
It’s more slang than jargon either way.
This is why studying takes me 4 times longer than the average person. I have to reread so many things to make it sync in. It annoys me how somone can just look or read something once and they have it already
It’s called “looking at memes”.
Adhd
Linking an obscure community that I made. You’re my favourite lemmite
Wait? XD You did? I didn’t realize it was you…
I really love your concept by the way.Thanks. I’ve started quite a few. Infact you’ve probably seen a few of em. [email protected] for example
Actually no or maybe I forgot. But [email protected] stuck out because it resonate so much with me.
Dissociation, of course.
I’ve done this with audio books.
I call it “five too many coffee cups today”. When I cut off from coffee, I become able to follow a text much better.
I can drink as many tea cups that I can without throwing up without getting the same jitter-effect so it doesn’t seem to be just caffeine.
It’s called ADHD.
Sure. Or it’s just tiredness and completely normal to happen.
Thank god this relatable to so many of us, I was wondering if this was a symptom of a larger disorder whenever this happens to me.
The worst is when I’m reciting word for word technical information about chemistry or physics, because I often like to explain how things work to friends and family while I work on stuff, and then I’ll get interrupted or distracted and have no memory of wtf I was just saying for the last several minutes straight.
It already has a name: ADHD
“someone isn’t focused, they’re surely suffering from a neurodevelopmental disease”
fuck this fucking pillpusher propaganda
Sure bud, tell me about the condition I’ve had all my life and how my life didn’t get immeasurably better when I finally got diagnosed and treated by a professional in my 4th decade of life.
So ignorant and arrogant at the same time. Trump voter?
Sometimes a headache is actually a sign of a fatal cancer that needs to be operated on.
MOST of the time it isn’t.
I don’t expect you to understand the difference.
It’s absolutely an ADHD symptom if it happens every time a person tries to read. Whether or not they need medication is a separate issue.
Oh yes, anyone who ever feels even the tiniest bit of infocus is ADHD. /ultrahypermegasupersarcasm
Learn about the condition you’re talking about. You’ll get angry and start spamming shit at me, but that’s all before you’ll actually read anything more than a few sentences. I’ve read dozens and dozens of studies on this. You wont’ even understand what the word “neurodevelopmental” means.
Headaches don’t mean you have brain cancer, does it**?**
Headaches are a symptom of strokes, pretty much always. It doesn’t mean that you should think you’re having a stroke if you get a headache.
Lucid Reading?
I think it could be argued for a state of hypnosis, like how people drive for miles but just don’t remember how they did it entirely.
Difference is, you clearly drove and got there safely. You didn’t read the words on the page, you just moved your eyes across ink blots.
I was a professional driver for 20 years. I can attest that autopilot is a real thing.
It’s easy to monitor traffic on either side but end up daydreaming and miss a turn.
I’ve been out of the transport industry for five years now and I still occasionally find myself auto-piloting to places I used to deliver to. It’s so weird.
I drove black cars for a bit, I’ve definitely just taken the airport exit once when I was out of it. Glad I’m not alone.
Yeah. It’s not a big deal, but how you handle it really matters. (This is advice for anyone else reading; I’m sure you know.)
If you miss your turn because you’re daydreaming or whatever, just keep going. DO NOT swerve three lanes over to an exit or whatever other dumb shit. You fucked up. Deal with it without putting other people in danger.
Ambien
I have to read out loud to myself to finish a book or an article.
It has made my reading comprehension go through the roof. And I didn’t understand that about myself for my first 45 years.
