Well, I basically have problems when reading, I tend to unconsciously skip over words which can be very detrimental when arguing, Shit just seems to blend together when reading books and I can’t seem to concentrate. This issue also affects me when for example when I did probability and statistics in school I would keep skipping over numbers when making stem and leaf plots. This + issue with paying attention is something I would love to fix, any suggestions?

You are a product of your times so you have been screwed over by this adhd ridden low attention span piece of shit world.
If that makes you feel better you must know you are definitely not the only one.

4chan has fucked up my basic mental constitution so much that when I read anything now it is in a combative mindset based on finding something wrong with what I'm reading and responding to it. I can't just read things now, I have to have a little notepad to criticize it every minute or so

It is also an enormous struggle not to do this in everyday conversation but talk like a normal non hostile person

Why do people say things like this? I can browse 4chan or play the same video game for hours on end. The internet hasn't ruined my attention span. There must be another problem why I can't pay attention to books.

It's worse because it forces to you to pay attention to statements shorter than 280 characters
On the other hand it improved my synthesis game

lol I do this whenever I'm having conversations with people in person, especially when I drink I can't help but shift a good natured exchange into a Hey Faggot Listen To Me I'm Smarter Than You type of fight but much to my dismay people are rarely passionate about the opinions they hold
