Dyslexia is one of the most aggravating conditions to have since I constantly forget things and can't recall what I've said or done. I have trouble remembering birthdays, phone numbers, and other details. I have trouble reading because the words I see occasionally become unrecognizable, which makes no sense, but after a few seconds of staring at it, I can finally make out or understand the words I'm reading.
People tend to misunderstand you if you have dyslexia because you were born to be misunderstood. No one truly understands what you mean, say, or do. That's why, especially when I was younger, my only response was to smack them in the face since it was so irritating to me because it was simple and easy for me but difficult for others to grasp.
Having dyslexia means your handwriting is the ugliest in the world. I despise writing with pencils or pens. If it involves writing something on paper, it will be the strangest thing you've ever seen because the ugliness of the writing will make you laugh, which irritates me because people make fun of it.
When I went to the government office to create my own personal trainer business, they asked me to take down my address and phone number, and after I did, the guy said, "Brother, this is like first grade writing, write it back," to which I replied, "I have dyslexia, I can't write it any better."
He refuses to look at my identification card and actually read it because he doesn't understand what dyslexia is or even bother to read about it. I have to write down my address and phone number on the forms after about 3 times he gave up and just wrote what he thinks he sees. I told him its wrong why don't you just look at my identification card so you understand what it is. He refuses I just don't get it.
So this is what I'm dealing with people, and doctors told my parents that I'd grow up stupid and slow, and I still remember their exact words: this boy will learn slowly and read slowly, and he won't be like other normal kids when he grows up. Now I'm a grown man, and I've worked as a waiter, a barista, a supervisor, and now I manage restaurants, clubs, and pubs for 14 years, so big F U to the doctors who said i'm stupid and slow.
I guess that wraps up my rant for today. I've felt attacked these past few months because friends and family keep telling me I can't do this or that. There's so much negativity on a daily basis that I need to learn to cut through it all. It's exhausting to explain myself when no one listens or cares, but I understand that's how the world works.
My original goal for this account was to teach myself about business, learn about the hive blockchain because I still have no idea how most of it works, and write about philosophers because I found them fascinating and felt connected to them because some of their thinking is similar to mine, which I find strange because people today can't think like me.
I keep changing my mind because of my dyslexia, I keep getting distracted, and I'm easily distracted, so I guess I'll have to change what I really want to do here, maybe to shed some light on dyslexia because no matter what I want to do or achieve, I always do it half-assed, and it's bloody frustrating. I get things done quickly, but I can't seem to be consistent.
Anyway, congratulations for making it this far; thank you for reading; I appreciate it.
If I made a mistake in my article, please tell me and share or show me how to fix it. Even though I used to be here a long time ago, I was always on and off, and I couldn't recall things because I had dyslexia in real life.
