Not being able to explain what i've read out loud.

One thing that I can't ever forget is when I got called on to read a passage out loud to the class followed by a question from the teacher asking me to summarize what I just read.

Somehow I thought I could hide my embarrassment by not responding which in turn just created an awkward silence. I didn't want to admit to the class that I had no idea what the hell I just read. This happened to me more than once, and I swear they can tell by the way I read because they never asked anyone else to summarize or explain. After those incidents they learned not to ever call on me again for the rest of the class year.

I can listen and read to myself, but this particular thing never went well with me. I'd like to believe it was because I was timid and didn't like being put on the spot, or blank out when reading something uninteresting, but I'm probably just an idiot.

    Listen to more music and talk about how it makes you feel.

    I have a hard time retaining information that I read. I sort of remember it but if I had to explain it, that would be difficult. I have trouble putting things into words even if I know the material. It's annoying.
