I used to be a visualizer. At around the age of 8-12 I could imagine a movie in my mind as I read. Once I read an entire 500 page book, one which was relatively high level for and 8 year old, in a single day. Unfortunantly, I don’t to do that anymore despite being an older, more experienced reader. I slowly push the pages and subvocalize. it takes me a few weeks to read 500 pages. I don’t know what changed my mindset. It’s a lot less satisfying to read this way. Does anyone have tips about how to active a mental movie while reading?
See how you are not interacting with anyone? Its just that you found other things that stimulate you more than a book or replying to the people who answered you. Basically we live now in a society of junkies who always want to be shocked, entertained, disgusted, provoked, made angry, sad etc. A book is just too boring. Interacting with other people is just too tiresome. Everyone back to their circle jerk!
