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
In addition to the “ignore what other people say” i would also add that you can decide what to talk about with whom.
Don’t talk about what you read with people who negatively judge your reading habits.
Reading is for fun. Not some weird achievement hunt. I read what i enjoy. If you don’t like it, that is your problem.
