How do I get faster at reading? Friend of mine asked me if I could proofread her thesis, however reading it takes me a HUGE amount of time, about 1 hour for 5 pages and that's without even checking for typos or anything like that
I have no idea what's wrong with my brain, I just can't seem to focus on the text so I have to read the same sentence multiple times or going back because I forgot what I just read
I'm 30 this year for what it's worth, and as a kid I used to devour books, I remember the whole Eragon saga took me less than a week for 3 fairly big books
Any tips?

why did she ask you to proof read her thesis lol

just text her "sorry it turns out i'm retarded it looks good tho!!!" and you will be absolved of this responsibility

be serious, do you think you could make her thesis better than just running it through grammarly or even just the google doc word processor?

i pretend to be pretty smart and even i wouldn't actually proof read or suggest a change in someone's thesis even if it was some shit i knew about

"the material is a bit dense, and i'm not as fresh on the data as you, looks good, good luck!"

We've known each other for the longest, and I'm the only one who offered her some help as far as I know
Plus she asked me for help on small sections at first, liked the edits I did and after a couple of those she asked me if I wanted to do the same for the same thesis. Mind you, this is more on style and presentation, not the actual content since we've done two completely different unis

I genuinely don't know how
My friends think I might have ADHD, but I was never tested for it so I don't know

I don't think you're having a reading issue I think you're having a focus and comprehension issue. You want to read it for your friend but you don't actually want to read it, so you're struggling. Make a choice you either gotta lock in or tell her the material is too dense for you.
