I’m nearing 24 and have passed both school and college, most things were pretty easy to understand and that included all the big texts
I’m sorta an intern at my family’s businesses still
They expect me to one day handle the business and they keep saying it is simple, all I have to do is approve or disapprove of things and make okay to smart decisions or just don’t be a moron
Thing is, the way they insist on teaching me involves forcing me into meetings and making me read long texts
Problem is I’ve been at this for nearly 2-3 years and one thing I can guarantee is I have learned practically nothing from them and they still insist that it is simple and watered down and “If you can read all those fictional books then you can easily understand all these summarised reports full of watered down information and statistics”
My brain pretty much turns off or goes into overload or can barely even understand the text in front of me
It doesn’t help that my brother keeps saying this and getting angry and saying “You have to shape up”
I can barely take down notes or know what questions to ask because pretty much all the meetings are long and they talk long and even their summarised poings are long big walls of text, at least from my perspective, so when the meeting is over or mid-talk I can barely even write down anything
I keep saying to my family that it os DIFFERENT from note taking at school and college, the teacher/professor doesn’t talk like the guys in meetings
Supposedly this is all really simple
I’ve been hear for 2-3 years and can barely get a lick even if I force myself through both meetings and long texts full of soulless information
Am I dumb? I can be surprisingly analytical and introspective at times or point out idiocy or realise there are questions to things
But not for these long stuff full of numbers, that aren’t fiction or history or how to do math equations or philosophy or advice on how to donthings
I may have a minor learning disorder of sorts
Or am I just lazy because I don’t force myself past the mental exhaustion I already get from forcing myself on something I literally can barely comprehend or even read a few sentences before my mind starts blanking out
Just so you know, they were putting me through this sort of shit even in high school and they were repeatedly shocked that I both didn’t get it and was pissed that I didn’t like being there
