In what world does this count as manipulation, you autist? All you're doing is regulating yourself the position of being an emotional doormat.

how do I learn to read between the lines?
I feel like I'm fixated on the illusion of objectivity that I don't make necessary logical assumptions
it's as if reading is just sounding out words in my head now
I can't engage with literature on an intellectual level anymore

what do I do?
I never used to be like this and it's killing me

>I'm throwing out ideas
And your ideas are garbage.
What you're employing right now are typical 'optimist' tactics. You'll do anything to undercut the idea that sometimes, some failures are dramatically out of someones control. You throw out bullshit advice that is totally unworkable and tantamount to 'just win the lottery bro', then pretend your helping. When somebody calls you out, you shift the blame onto the other person: 'you're being negativity, it's your own fault, blablabla'. Meanwhile, your faggot ass has never encountered a significant issue in your life and it's all been smooth sailing -not because of you, but because of pure luck, although I'm sure you think otherwise.

>tfw living in the modern age of technology has withered away my faculty of concentration
I'm trying to do things like uni-task, and keep bringing my attention back to whatever I'm doing, but my brain is like swiss cheese. I remember reading books as a kid for 4 hours straight, no problem. Now I need to force myself to finish 10 pages.

Do my eyes deceive me, deceit doth peeve me
A banana or a peel, I cannot tell
So I slipped and fell
I cracked my head, now I'm dead
My mom will be sad, don't cry mom
I was already dead

OP here. Thanks for all the recommendations, famalans.
