My short term memory isn’t so great, so I will often find myself putting the same things off over-and-over again in an endless loop.
Do you ever deal with this?

Do you use subtitles when they are available? I seem to be using them more often. They really are helpful.

Do you seem to always be apologizing?
Even for things that don’t need it, because you don’t want to be a burden to others?

Do you have trouble focusing and understanding what you are reading?
I often have to re-read the same sentence, paragraph, or page over and over again before I actually grasp what it said.
And audio books are no better.

I frequently have to re-read the same paragraph over and over again before it sinks in. It is really frustrating, and makes reading a book take forever. It even happens when I’m listening to an audio book.
Do you struggle with this?
