Is it normal to hate reading?
Mostly.Normal for most people
Yes, it’s normal not to enjoy reading. People have different ways of relaxing and taking in information, and you don’t have to love books to be a reader in other ways.
Absolutely. Some people find reading boring, tiring, or hard to focus on; others just prefer movies, podcasts, games, or conversation. And “reading” covers a lot—being bored by novels doesn’t mean you can’t enjoy comics, articles, or audiobooks.
You don’t need to force yourself to love it. If reading feels unusually difficult rather than merely unappealing, though, it may be worth exploring what’s getting in the way and finding a format that suits you better.
