>pick up a book>read 20 pages>novelty wears off so I drop the book>pick up another book>process repeats ad infinitum Anybody else have this problem?
>>23537500put on an audiobook and read along
>>23537500You can't even get a feel for a book in twenty pages. The author hasn't even finished laying the groundwork at that point.
>>23537500what the fuck does "novelty wears off" even mean?
>>23537591It means he's unable to focus without the constant stimulation the internet has provided.
>>23537500Try not being a brain damaged zoomoid.
>>23537500just switch between the same two booksprofit
>>23537741You don't understand. After the first 20 pages, I lose complete interest in the book. I never pick it up again even though I really wanna read it.Books for this feel?
>>23537751I understand perfectly well. Just give yourself time to miss it. Pick two books that are completely different. Shitpost on 4channel when you get bored. Gee, I can't help you if you won't help yourself.
>>23537500Read the bible with a determination to read it cover to cover. This will help you build the discipline for reading and maybe then you will give books a chance. And what do you mean by novelty anyways? Do you just enjoy the idea of reading a book?
>>23537751Amphetamines.
>>23537751Maybe you just have to stop reading for a while, and then everything will return back to normal
>>23537817If he fried his brain with social media which I presume is the case simply quitting reading won't help. Rather quitting the Internet is the way to go.
>>23537500How can he be THIS smug when he is wearing THAT hat?
>>23537757Kek, this is the very book I am not reading because of terrible attention span
>>23537886you are not missing muchanother advice, screw this 1000 books you must read before you die shit and read something that is relevant to your interests
>>23538078I was reading it for the second time. I love Calvino.
>>23538091to each their own, I guess?but what novelty are you speaking of if you've read it before?
>>23538105No, I'm not OP. Novelty is no issue for me, The Idiot is one of my favorite books. I've just had my brain fried, probably by porn, (which I've quit)
>>23538142I don't really reread books unless it's dense nonfiction. My understanding is that people do it as a sort of comfort activity? But why would you be bored by your comfort activity?For example I can barely stay focused for five minutes but if I have some important project to finish in a week I sudenly become very engrossed in whatever inconsequential book I am reading right now.
>>23538192I'm not bored. The problem for me is I'm not paying attention and have to reread multiple pages that my brain thought it was reading while retaining zero information.
>>23537500stop scrolling and read faster
>>23538199idk man I don't do porn becuase it's a slippery slopetry... jogging while listening to classical musicsounds brain healing to me
>>23538250It's slippery poles too. Lots of them.
>>23538250I listen to classical music almost exclusively. I don't do cardio because I'm a lanklet trying to put on muscle.
>>23538286I would have said meditate or something but that's just gay and moving around is more funif it's something like information overload I personally think that it's something that modern humans will just have to learn to deal withbut you should really not watch pornif you give yourself some time to live a quiet and healthy life you should be back to normal
>>23538330No, I never "reset" that is a lie
>>23538331Why not?
>>23539176Because it doesn't happen. I even am attracted to a twinky looking guy at my church. The reset is more broscience.
>>23538286cardio is good for leg development, respiratory health which will help you workout longer, cardiovascular health which I don't believe I should explain the benefits of. Do cardio lanklet.
>>23537500read short stories. Develop the ability to read & read critically
>>23539298Once I get to 200 pounds I'll work it in. Probably going back on Gomad again too.
>>23539320your call ultimately but I believe personally that cardio will only benefit you if you start doing it now. Gaining muscle takes time and adding the cardio now will only help build more lean mass which looks this best if you're trying to looksmax.
>>23539428Not, I am trying to submit to the curse in Genesis 3. I want a job doing hard labor, I don't care if I look fat or whatever.
>>23539429understandable, find comfort in the suffering.
>>23537500maybe try a book of short stories then?my problem usually is:>pick up a book>devour it>another>devour it>another>devour it>2 years without reading anything>remember i can read>pick up a book...
>>23539439No, it's just because I'm schizophrenic and collect disability. I want to offset it with some grunt work though they will be paying me for said work anyway. Basically you go to this place at 4:30 I. The morning and the only qualification you need is boots with the triangle on them.
>>23539429>I want a job doing hard laborBruh
>>23537500That is called you are incredibly fuking stupud and should stick to the tik toks.
