Hi people
I’m 23 and love to read (books, manga, LNs, etc.), but I got judged negativly(??) what I read. That almost everything that I read is mid or smth like this. I should read peak, etc. Yes I know, I should ignore it, but it’s really hard. One day it snapped for me, it was my fault too, but now i’m in a reading slumb. For months now, even tho I distanced myself from this people.
-Then there is the problem that I have so much, that I don’t know what to read. -No motivation to read. -YouTube Shorts -scrolling mindlessly -gaming (star rail and Genshin) -other stuff (art, daydreaming)
But yeah, how do I get back? Is there a way? Because the judgment from other are still in the back of my mind… Maybe self imflicted pressure too, because I want to read this stories…
It’s always a back and forth haah I need a little bit of help, maybe it gets better again if the negative stuff gets out of my head, just don’t know how

Everyone experiences slumps of things they enjoy. Don’t worry about forcing yourself to rush back into reading if you’re not feeling it. You’ll get back into it on your own time, and that’s ok.
As for people judging you, it’s a smart move to distance yourself from judgmental people. As you get older, you’ll get better at ignoring it and not caring what others think. As presidential advisor Bernard Baruch once said, “Those who matter don’t mind, and those who mind don’t matter.”
