I'm not going to watch a fucking YouTube video. I'm getting more and more triggered over videos with some influencer on YouTube...
Information like this is much better suited as text, because then I don't have to watch some person blabbering on...
I blame people's shorter attention spans for it, to a degree I'm also guilty of it. Can't read a book nowadays before my focus shifts somewhere else.
I felt this too and it was scary as hell. It means my brain chemistry has changed for the worse.
After sticking with it and forcing myself to read, it became better after a few weeks.
Stop social media, give it a week and you read 900 pages like it’s nothing again.
