Hi people

I’m 23 and love to read (books, manga, LNs, etc.), but I got judged negativly(??) what I read. That almost everything that I read is mid or smth like this. I should read peak, etc. Yes I know, I should ignore it, but it’s really hard. One day it snapped for me, it was my fault too, but now i’m in a reading slumb. For months now, even tho I distanced myself from this people.

-Then there is the problem that I have so much, that I don’t know what to read. -No motivation to read. -YouTube Shorts -scrolling mindlessly -gaming (star rail and Genshin) -other stuff (art, daydreaming)

But yeah, how do I get back? Is there a way? Because the judgment from other are still in the back of my mind… Maybe self imflicted pressure too, because I want to read this stories…

It’s always a back and forth haah I need a little bit of help, maybe it gets better again if the negative stuff gets out of my head, just don’t know how

    Those people sound insufferable. I have friends who enjoy books that I think are terrible, but I’m not going to tell them not to read something they like just because I have a different opinion.

    If you feel overwhelmed about what to read next, maybe try putting all your options in a randomiser and let the computer decide what you should read next. It worked well for me when I had a huge TBR list and didn’t know where to start.
