    It's kinda ironic that I just got distracted from reading by a video about getting distracted while reading :D

    "Everyone knows i'm terrified of talking on the phone" omg me

    • @camilesouzaa
      @camilesouzaa Před 7 lety +39

      Hahaha right? I'm always like "Why are you calling me instead of texting me? Why are you doing this to me?"

    • @thediamondkid4320
      @thediamondkid4320 Před 7 lety +2

      TwirlyButera You and Jesse are sooooo relatable. I prefer talking in school or texting. Because in school, you are forced to be there. So awkward silences are excused. Texting, I can just say 'Bye, I have to do something.' But calling someone means you have to have an on going conversation.

    • @camilesouzaa
      @camilesouzaa Před 7 lety

      TheDiamondKid Yes, whenever my phone rings I'm like "did something urgent happened, is someone like dying?" but then I pick it up and it's just some random conversation that could be easily done through texting and ugh
      If you wanna talk let's either meet up or you better type, nothing in between. I can't read a book if I'm holding my phone blabbing with you.

    • @thediamondkid4320
      @thediamondkid4320 Před 7 lety

      Camile Souza Saaaammmeee.
      Me want read book pwease.
      I *hate* awkward silences. It's just *ugh*. It's *horrible*. I can't keep up a conversation.

    • @camilesouzaa
      @camilesouzaa Před 7 lety

      Yes, there's so much pressured involved. To avoid awkward silences you have to keep thinking ahead to find things to say. When you text, even in a fast conversation you have time to confortably think before hitting 'send', and best of all, you can edit stuff.

    @pucksandpaperbacks Před 7 lety +97

    this is my life story. i pick up the book and then I start reading and mid paragraph I think about something and i forget whatever I just read and it's torture. i'm just a distracted person in general, it doesn't help lol

  • @kevinkelly_
    @kevinkelly_ Před 7 lety +368

    @thebookishmuslim2908 Před 7 lety +8

    This is me when I find something a book that I relate to , then I start making connections to my own life. I somehow end up closing the book , and ranting out loud to my self about whatever thing that caused me to be distracted. I'm a mess 😂

    @Lyco_Smoke Před 7 lety +1

    "Everyone knows I'm terrified of talking on the phone."
    ......why do I relate to this?

  • @immortalazure
    @immortalazure Před 7 lety

    Hahahaha, love this. Yep often feel this, want everything to be perfect when I finally start the book - not hungry, drink at hand, comfortable (this takes ages), and silence for miles. Then want the right vibe/mindset, often people have to tell me to start the book, like what am I afraid of? - heartbreak, crushing of dreams, death. Pretty much, but there is also so much to gain!

  • @juliaj.448

  • @avenueis1377
    @avenueis1377 Před 7 lety +4

    This is literally me more than half the time. Also, I was about to read but I started watching this video. I think this is inception

  • @christinacreech5176
    @christinacreech5176 Před 7 lety

    You just understand me so much! I'm such a huge distracted reader, and it's so frustrating, because my mind thinks like it does, like it will forget that I"m supposed to sit here and read the book, and be okay with that. I try to put my phone on silent, and out of reach, that way I can't be deserved when I read.

  • @radutateodora3426
    @radutateodora3426 Před 5 lety +1

    I do this sometimes honestly
    The thing with me and reading is that is hard to make myself start to read, but after I get into it, if I like the book, I can do it for hours

  • @FangirlingThroughLife
    @FangirlingThroughLife Před 7 lety

    Finally someone that understands! Every time I mention this to my friends they are like "How do you get distracted and start thinking of other things? That never happens to me!"

  • @thephantomofthearchives4973

    OMG that's so me!!! I'm always coming up with stuff I have to Google *right nao!* when I'm reading. It's especially hard being a writer and having everything spark ideas for that plotpoint or character arc I was working on (Or give me new ideas to add to the "will write someday" pile of plotbunnies that almost puts my TBR to shame.) BTW, you broke me at "donut". (I happen to be in my grad class on break atm, and not randomly cackling like a crazy person in front of everyone is so hard right now.) 😂😂😂

    @KingdomHeartsFan3211 Před rokem

    Me, because I’m a very easily distracted reader, and I have to say to myself, “Book. Read. NOW.”
    One thing that I find helps with immersion and getting less distracted is reading along to the respective audiobook sped up to your reading speed. You soak in everything a bit more; and once you’re into the book, you’ll find it easier to read it even without the audiobook.

  • @irisong3255
