Having trouble reading books
11
Idk if this so stupid but ever since I got a 5 in my English language exam I can’t really bring my self to read books again. The 5 was a big shock to me I really wanted a 6/7 so I resat and got a 6 which I’m a little happier about however I used to love reading but now I can’t read again without feeling a discomfort. Idk how to explain it it’s really stupid ik but I want to know if I’m not the only one and or how to get over this.
Whenever I read a book I feel bad about myself like I want good at the subject so why should I bother reading. It’s been like 6 month that I’ve felt like this I thought it would go away with time but it hasn’t. I do t like it it’s kinda controlling lots of my time. I spend more time on my phone now with distract myself from my feelings. Please help!

The correlation between the score you received on that test and reading seems to be overplayed, I think you should try not to let it affect your desire to read (if you have hitherto been an avid reader). Being a prolific reader is not necessarily a factor in someone being good at English Language as a subject. I studied literature and language in school and university but barely read any books of my own volition between the ages of 11 and 20.
Probably what you need is to find some books that are really up your alley in terms of genre/style to reinvigorate your interest in reading, but first and foremost you need to remember that reading is something you want to do because it's a pleasurable activity and not because it should be improving your grades. Don't put that pressure on yourself.
If you need to, set yourself some basic goals, for example, to read each day 1 or 2 chapters, or 20-30 pages. Whatever feels achievable. You can increase the goal once you have got back into the routine of reading a little bit.
