How do you read?

do you scan your eyes quickly across each word at varying speeds or stare at the whole paragraph until things sink in?
I always feel self conscious when reading and I don't know how to stop it

I absorb the parts of the book which im not readingby means of my peripheral vision. The challenge is just making sure to not pay attention towhat im paying attentiom to not paying attention to

this desu

I read slowly by intention

This is quite a curious question. How does one read?? Hmmm well I guess I look at each word one by one from left to right and then I think of what each one is defined as while I go. If I don't understand the definition of a specific word I'll look it up on google. Damn user I love this question, its surprisingly difficult to explain for something I do all the time! So I guess at the end of the sentence I try to place the meanings of the individual words within a certain self-referential frame that will gives a new, single and all encompassing meaning linking all the words together I guess? Haha I love this question so much. So like if I was going to say "The Cat in the Hat", I'd think of it as "the", normally referencing a noun of some sort, "cat" a specific type of animal, but the two words together "the cat" are likely going to denote some sort of action being taken, and then "in", a preposition that can be used in a few ways so I keep reading, "the" again referencing a specific noun, and "hat", an article of clothing worn on one's head. From there I can say that particular sentence means there is some cat who is wearing a hat (as in, his head is "within" the hat). Idk really thats the best i got for now I guess

The trick is to read fast and make pauses when you hit a comma. You get a sense of rythm and flow and zoom out to see the whole picture rather than getting sidetracked by thoughts that spring from phrases and singular word constellations

I think it helps to read aloud to yourself in either soft or more audible voice and to occasionally stop at parts where you might need to reread but to not get too caught up in trying to digest every sentence perfectly. Otherwise audiobooks can also be good for that.

Should be even worse when you're also breathing manually now.
