When you wanna focus and concentrate on something, but you can feel your mind is somewhere else or thinking about something else not the task at hand. You want do the task at hand but you end up doing not the task you want. For example, you are reading a book, but your mind is thinking about going on the computer to chat and surf the Internet. It seem like the your mind is associating more pleasure with going on the computer than reading, why is this? How would you change this association? Or instead of studying for an exam you end up going to a club with friends. You know studying for the exam is more important than hitting the club but you still end up going to the club. You postpone the important task and seek the unimportant. Is it procrastination? or is their an other word or term?
I think I'm in love XD Seriously, it's not ADD every time someone can't stare at something and not get distracted.
if u wanna get the grades then u have to tell ur mind to shut the fuck up, and then u gotta study. everyone has to do the same thing!
its called responsibility n learning how to deal with it and make decisions n having to deal with the consequences of your decisions n actions,,,, something that is slowly being bred out of humans thanks to society n govt,,,,
Sounds very similar to how my dyslexia manifests itself. Because dyslexics process information on a different level, you're working more on a kinesthic or visual level, so if you're reading you're environment is simply boring and unstimulating. Also it could be that, dispite having pushed through it enough to become literate in that you can read and write fluently, it's just something you don't feel good about so much. A lot of people have said "Seb, that's just laziness" but then I got reassessed by the British Abilities Society (I think that's what it's called - I can't remember) and it turns out I have a problem with non-verbal reasoning, so doing things like forming essays is just a bitch. I don't suggest you attempt to force yourself to study, at least not in the conventional sense. You've got to do what you can to make the process engaging and enjoyable. If you are dyslexic, you're mind is moving much quicker than you can physically read, so you've got to keep things going. So yeah - I suggest getting assessed, but I know it's damn expensive to get assessed properly. The state funding stuff is lazy and narrow, more focused on finding out if you have a more traditional sense of dyslexia (i.e. you can't read, can't write) and lets be fair, that's not too hard to spot. Good Luck Sebbi
