#but lumping genuine ppl like u in with actually disrespectful ones ........ i really have a hard time providing any sympathy

As someone with a visually weak lazy eye, I'm really grateful for your takes. Listen, the glasses I need to help my vision are too expensive for me right and I have other expenses I have to prioritize, and, yes, sometimes I'm going to skip some chunks if I can not engage with them/don't feel interested/I think they're not as important to the plot in order to actually put some energy in the rest of the reading, and I don't think that makes me a "bad reader" or that "I just don't know how to read", specially when reading, to me, is painful and tiring, but still something I enjoy.

I don't do it always, but anyways, I feel some type of way seeing people commenting such things.

"feel some type of way"....... u are too polite lmfao

#in the tags again bc i can express myself better here and it's safe and warm and lovely #im sure there are actual bad readers and such #but LOL this jump ppl have made from skimming to AUTOMATICALLY bad reader......... GODDDDDDDDDDDDDD makes me mad #to people's credit... i do get the gist of the frustration... #but lumping genuine ppl like u in with actually disrespectful ones ........ i really have a hard time providing any sympathy #or even respect ... to those takes bc... ARE U DUMB?????? #and ofc i think most ppl would say ur circumstances are fair but... not extending that energy publicly.... is depressing #like.. ppl should at least specify who they talking about OR admit they want praise from EVERYONE to the extent they're #willing to be unkind to get it #the idea that this is black and white. 'either u read it wholly or u aren't interested and are BAD'...... is so toxic and evil #and im sorry you're ending up the collateral damage anon #i wish ppl would listen when issues like this are brought up #like being welcoming and kind can do so much for u #even if u do feel certain ways abt things. no one that really matters is saying this frustration is bad... just weirdos on tik tok #which is why we actually do need the leniency and kindness here #another opinion of mine actually: authors do owe the community a kind persona #but that's not this conversation #tho i think it applies in this case #at least to the specification point bc u don't deserve to feel like they're talking abt u #and i'm sorry ur going thru it but i'm glad we agree #let me know if i can support you further #i love and support u and u are NOT a bad reader #caitie answers #anon
