This paragraph feels like a "yay, you go audience! by reading this, you are special!
The bar is literally in hell unfortunately, so they made a valid point. I don’t want to be ye Olde millenial boomer over here, but kids these days literally don’t know punctuation or how to read… When I was still on Reddit I would go on r/teachers like I was reading SCP stories as a teen.
The bar is literally in hell unfortunately, so they made a valid point.
I think part of what I missed when I wrote this is that by reading this article, we aren’t exactly doing what the article is suggesting is the right thing to do : get off the computer and read a fucking book. Fair point to them that this article is from a print magazine and we are reading the online version, but I’m not doing the “recommended path for not being an illiterate pig”.
It’s weird, I have a varied history when it comes to books but it does feel like having done a lot of reading as a youth did help me avoid *some* of the negative repercussions of spending so much time watching tv and going on the internet. But I do have a frayed attention span that therapists keep saying isn’t ADD/ADHD but does bother me.
Side note : I hate my mental state. It feels like I have some parts of a few different disorders but not enough of it to be an actual diagnosis. Except the millennial favourite of anxiety/depression.

Have you been tested for ADHD? I had a therapist tell me the same thing. He was wrong.
