Lucid Reading?

It's called "looking at memes".

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.

Now I know that when people say read something they don't mean read the words but not the meaning. They mean read it and comprehend it.

Text-to-speech is your friend here.

I use a website called "speechify" but there are a lot of options.

Still helps to read along with it, but having that auditory input in tandem with visually reading will keep you on track like you've never experienced.

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 and not get the same jitter-effect so it doesn't seem to be just caffeine.

Dissociation, of course.

It already has a name: ADHD

Edit: and the stigma against the disease continues. I thought you were better than this, Lemmy.

Disinterest

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.
