  • I’ve always been dyslexic with lefts and rights, or perhaps their names? Even now I have to catch myself most of the time when I say the wrong one.

    I’m a little bad with numbers, that got worse after a head injury, so now I frequently confuse 6s and 8s in addition to the usual ‘was it 2493 or 2349?’ kinda things. As long as I double check my numbers I can do math right, but if it’s just a number sequence, they get a little mixed up.

    Mines very mild though, and I’ve met/seen people that take a solid minute or two to parse it when they’re corrected.

    I know a “NEET of 8 years” who basically won’t try at anything because of this. I kind of feel like its an excuse to be lazy, but I can’t say for sure.

    That could go either way. I’ve heard (from family or friends) of people that have it so severely, they can’t trust themselves enough to accurately read.

    That said, it could also be an easy excuse to avoid trying, but ultimately without consulting or being diagnosed by an expert, you only have their word to go on as to the severity.










  • Maybe try ice water? I’m not much of a water person myself, but I love some cold ice water. Aside from that, my top 2 are tea/juice and Gatorade or similar.

    Tea/juice is basically water with flavor. Gatorade/Powerade/similar are a great option cause it’ll hydrate you and the electrolytes are good for your gut bacteria.

    Another idea is to just water down the things you already drink. For sodas I think it actually makes them taste better.
