I hate myself

Dyslexia can’t be 'cured'. It's lifelong. Dyslexia primarily affects reading and writing skills, but not many people know this, it can also indirectly impacts how one interacts with and will understand others, particularly in social situations.

While not a direct cause of social difficulties, the challenges associated with dyslexia can lead to misunderstandings, frustration, and even low self-esteem, which can then affect social interactions. Thus I hate myself.

Not so very surprising, dyslexia can present challenges in romantic relationships, but with understanding and effort, relationships can be fulfilling and strong. It can definite affect communication, memory, and emotional regulation, but it doesn't define a person.

Open communication, patience, and a willingness to adapt are key for both partners in navigating the challenges. This morning my lips feel cracked again. Somehow the black dog is loose again. This is how a person with dyslexia feels at times.

As an aside isn't it cruel that your condition has a name that must be so easy for those with Dyslexia to read, write, spell, etc.

@22Michelle Easy to pick on? No, not really. My boss stopped that and switched over to something else. Dyslexia comes at times also with bodily functions that don't co-ordinate easily enough and even a supposed impression of tension and nervousness

@val70 I never said "easy to pick on".

@22Michelle I wondered what you really mind there... dyslexia in my native tongue isn't even used like that... it's not "he has" but "he is"

@val70 My "point" was the ridiculousness of naming a problem with being able to identify letters, words, etc as Dyslexia. Thus making it really easy (not) for those suffering from the problem.

@22Michelle Right. English is only my fourth language so it's not even perfect at the best of times

@val70 That must make things difficult.

@22Michelle Hard to get people to understand that too. I'm now going even for a position where I need to speak, write and talk entirely in English... I must be crazy
