Any tips or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Okay, so for as long as I can remember, I’ve had real trouble reading in public. It’s a mix of issues surrounding the fact that I think people see me as trying to be clever or just doing it for show? I genuinely want to read my book but I get so paranoid that people are staring at/judging me to the point that I can’t concentrate!!
People I’ve spoken to irl say that it’s all in my head, but I’ll go online only to see some non-readers confirming my fears on how I am perceived.
I want to not care and I know that their opinions don’t matter but I can’t stop my mind from wandering while I’m mid page.
(My E-reader has helped a bit because it hides that I’m reading I think.. but I miss my paperbacks!!)
