Nee, negen.
Recently, I often misread words or even add ones that are not there. Long, complex sentences are very difficult to understand for me. I feel like primary school me would ridicule modern me.
No my eyesight is fine, what are you on about?
This is my daily struggle. Add to it verbal conversations as well.
I've noticed it happening to myself. As I get older and older, I find it more and more difficult to focus on reading. Used to read all the time as a kid, but now in my 30s, I can barely finish a chapter, let alone an entire book. Having ADHD doesn't help, either.
I blame excessive internet use. Why invest in anything longer than a few seconds when there's just so much more content out there that's waiting to be seen?
