ngl i kinda feel like i can no longer call myself a reader. for the majority of this year, i haven't picked up a book and, every time i did, it felt like pulling teeth. nothing could hold my attention for more than a few minutes. i haven't experienced a slump like this in years and i'm not sure how to recover 🫠

i've been going thru that lately and for me it always happens when something anxious is occupying my head and makes it impossible for me to put my attention elsewhere

You’re a reader because you understand, love, and appreciate the works of novels, not because you are able to pick up a book every single day or month or even year. You are worthy of that title, and completely normal!
I agree with Olivia. Reading slumps happen, doesn’t take away your appreciation for books/stories.
You’re not alone, I’ve been feeling like that for most of the year tbh. It’s been my slowest reading year but I know it’s just a phase too. I’m finally getting that feeling back again now of what it used to feel like to read a good book. I’m sure you’ll experience it again too. ☺️
