Reading Problems - Blog Posts

11 months ago

So one of the few downsides of being a reader is that I know words, but have no idea what those words mean, but at the same time I do.

Like, I can use big, fancy words when I'm writing/talking, it's one of the reasons I sound like such a nerd all the time. Because I know what those words mean. But then when somebody who doesn't know it asks me 'what does that mean' the conversation usually goes something like:

Random Person: so what does resplendent mean?

Me: uhhhhh... good? glowy? think like... hot, pretty, dude?

Person: what???

Me: idk man, it just means resplendent

This can just be a me problem, right? Like, words don't make sense: they just do.
