Reading-fobia

Hello!
I have a problem which really terrorized my childhood. In fact, I'm sure that I am not healed, but I permanently avoided to face with it in the last 10 years. The basic ideea is that I can't say the words that people expect me to say. So, when I was 12-14, I couldn't read the lesson in front of my colleagues, I was just pronuncing few letters ddd... then made a pause .ooo...made a pause...g . That was <dog> Very Happy

Now, I grow up, and it's easy for me imagine that I can improvise a speech - but to read one from a peace of paper seems imposible!. Anybody heard about this strange "read a text disease"?

Hi Senthi and Welcome to the SPW forum.
From what you have described it sounds like to me that you may have dyslexia and after I read some symptoms on this website www.levinsonmedical.com/information/syndrome.html I think I may be dyslexic too. Sad

Thanx for your responses. Maybe it is dyslexia, or maybe not. I don't have these problems only with reading, but the described situation is true even if I have to say some predefined words ( e.g if someone ask me to call a person and tell a certain phrase like "Good morning, I'm Matt XXX, a friend of YYY. Could you please help me in this issue?". I can't do this, even if there are only 4-5 words... If I could call that person and speak freely, and not to follow some imposed phrases, everything it's OK for me. That's the big difference...

I beleive you negativly neuro-associated a great deal of fear to reading in front of people. Can you read to yourself in your mind alone, without people present?

If so a good solution would be to practice reading out loud by yourself, then do it infront of a mirror, then parents, then understanding respectable friends

keep working up the ladder, but break this hard task into small doable steps and give yourself credit, pat your self on the back the better you become.

Im sorry if im always so technical guys, but I beleive this stuff works. Ill read it try it out and amazingly the things work well.

Ill be posting up another forum on neuro-associations. If you would like to know a little more about it.
