[@twirlybutera3002]

"Everyone knows i'm terrified of talking on the phone" omg me

[@camilesouzaa]

Hahaha right? I'm always like "Why are you calling me instead of texting me? Why are you doing this to me?"

[@thediamondkid4320]

TwirlyButera You and Jesse are sooooo relatable. I prefer talking in school or texting. Because in school, you are forced to be there. So awkward silences are excused. Texting, I can just say 'Bye, I have to do something.' But calling someone means you have to have an on going conversation.

[@camilesouzaa]

TheDiamondKid Yes, whenever my phone rings I'm like "did something urgent happened, is someone like dying?" but then I pick it up and it's just some random conversation that could be easily done through texting and ugh If you wanna talk let's either meet up or you better type, nothing in between. I can't read a book if I'm holding my phone blabbing with you.

[@thediamondkid4320]

Camile Souza Saaaammmeee. Me want read book pwease. I *hate* awkward silences. It's just *ugh*. It's *horrible*. I can't keep up a conversation.

[@camilesouzaa]

Yes, there's so much pressured involved. To avoid awkward silences you have to keep thinking ahead to find things to say. When you text, even in a fast conversation you have time to confortably think before hitting 'send', and best of all, you can edit stuff.

[@flenaanelf]

It's kinda ironic that I just got distracted from reading by a video about getting distracted while reading :D

[@CJDangerfield]

l123isamuell same what are you reading

[@lilacorvere438]

l123isamuell same😂 I even forgot to get my book when I got up to get my book

[@flenaanelf]

CJ Dangerfield the sun is also a star by nicola yoon. and you?

[@booksandcoffee3768]

Me! And now I'm distracted by replying to you. 😂

[@lilacorvere438]

l123isamuell I'm rereading Percy Jackson for the 80th time :P it's the best

[@sigfrednavasquez5632]

I am currently reading a book and I am distracted by a video about being a distracted reader. I am living the distracted bookish life.

[@stephpiano2908]

[@candelariarosales6226]

[@amydiaz9112]

[@Slow_Internet]

Sig SAME

[@katerinam1020]

Me through all this video: *nods* *nods* *nods* " This is me."

[@goodnight-moon564]

Katerina M This was me through this whole video!

[@pucksandpaperbacks]

this is my life story. i pick up the book and then I start reading and mid paragraph I think about something and i forget whatever I just read and it's torture. i'm just a distracted person in general, it doesn't help lol

[@kmaiazz]

This is soooo me. Especially the bookmark part 😂😂

[@ThePhantomofBooktube]

Rika Lockwood same I have an extensive bookmark collection sometimes it's takes me forever to pick a bookmark xD

[@amybooksit7818]

And then you find out the cat stole your favorite bookmark and you get distracted with lecturing the cat about stealing bookmarks.....

[@kevinkelly_]

I love when you make these skit videos! They're just so relatable 😂 The netflix thing constantly distracts me, because I know if I start watching a show I won't dedicate time to reading haha!!

[@littlemixforever9294]

Same haha

[@simonlewis5750]

That's what happened to me with 13 Reasons Why 😂

[@michellharris5608]

Hey Kevin! 👋🏻😃 omg Simon Lewis what are you doing here! 😂

[@juliazelazo]

Clary Fray OMG I need Jace now!!

[@MsTen999]

Stranger things!

[@checkmate2489]

“Forget the bedsheets... save the book!!” MEEEEEEEEEEE

[@jhEyniekeYt]

i hate it when I'm so into a book and then someone disturbs me making me lose where I was reading 😒

[@JayGTheAwkwardBookworm]

This is so me... I'll read the same sentence 60 times and never take it in XD

[@crayonfactory6340]

I was supposed to be reading right now.. how'd I end up on KZbin?

[@riptideone4161]

Crayonfactory Because you were being a distracted reader. What book are you reading right now?

[@glife54]

gods me toooo

[@overrcast4282]

Tiffany Warner they didn’t answer which means they couldn’t decide

[@kirairwin3070]

Two years late but I’m currently reading The Rising by Kelley Armstrong (a reread from my middle school days)

[@crayonfactory6340]

Kira Irwin and I just realized I accidentally replied from my google account instead of my KZbin account

[@briannamcbride3438]

It's sad how much we relate to this.

[@hyacinthmcalexander-gabuel6440]

Totally me!! I peek at the last chapter but I say, "NO PICKING, NO NO DONT DO IT!!!"

[@Sid-rq1vp]

This is so me Jesse, like 100%

[@thebookishmuslim2908]

This is me when I find something a book that I relate to , then I start making connections to my own life. I somehow end up closing the book , and ranting out loud to my self about whatever thing that caused me to be distracted. I'm a mess 😂

[@thefaereader]

The distracted reader? More like the distracted student because I just stopped my essay to watch this video :) xoxo

[@charlierask9070]

You have me thinking about donuts now 😂☺

[@amybooksit7818]

I don't even LIKE donuts and suddenly I wanted a donut! :/

[@brittnik2083]

Isn't it ironic that I was reading and then stopped to watch this video...

[@babbetteandherbooks3835]

the no peaking thing is literaly me. i have spoild myself so many times

[@elisekal8665]

I ALWAYS get distracted when I try to read in a car I get really weird thoughts like "I wonder how these plants can live next to all these cars" 😂

[@saybbabe2184]

omg its actually so sad how much i relate especially to the netflix one and the food wowza

[@mayahjade]

This is so accurate it's scary

[@immortalazure]

Hahahaha, love this. Yep often feel this, want everything to be perfect when I finally start the book - not hungry, drink at hand, comfortable (this takes ages), and silence for miles. Then want the right vibe/mindset, often people have to tell me to start the book, like what am I afraid of? - heartbreak, crushing of dreams, death. Pretty much, but there is also so much to gain!

[@BooksandLooks]

yay ADHD brain. It just means you're a demi god though, duh!

[@UniqueSouls]

TheBooksnLooks YAAAASSSS lol so funny because I'm reading the Percy Jackson series and got distracted by this video

[@fangirlyeahthatsme958]

That is so me!!! (.... I was reading.... then I got a text.... then I got a KZbin notification.... then I went to the "recommend for you section".... fast forward 20 minutes... and now I'm here...😂)

[@juliaj.448]

Great video! 😂 I always get distracted by my phone & end up browsing social media for hours instead of reading. 😅

[@BonesandBooth92]

"Who's calling me everyone knows I'm terrified of talking on the phone!" STORY OF MY LIFE!! 😂😂😂

[@Lyco_Smoke]

"Everyone knows I'm terrified of talking on the phone." ......why do I relate to this?

[@courtneycasaletto8888]

This is me right now about to read six of crows. I started watching this because I got so distracted

[@christinacreech5176]

You just understand me so much! I'm such a huge distracted reader, and it's so frustrating, because my mind thinks like it does, like it will forget that I"m supposed to sit here and read the book, and be okay with that. I try to put my phone on silent, and out of reach, that way I can't be deserved when I read.

[@avenueis1377]

This is literally me more than half the time. Also, I was about to read but I started watching this video. I think this is inception

[@radutateodora3426]

I do this sometimes honestly The thing with me and reading is that is hard to make myself start to read, but after I get into it, if I like the book, I can do it for hours

[@annafest2199]

His facial expressions in this are PRICELESS!

[@Iry951]

"Everyone knows I'm terrified of talking on the phone" :D Lovely video! So much fun watching it

[@alannasama777]

These videos are amazing, and I actually got distracted from re-reading Queen of Shadows by this beautiful skit video! These make my day, or night in this case, brighter. Love your videos Jesse.

[@harleypaul3400]

I have 90% of these thoughts! Mainly me getting uncomfortable and choosing music. So relatable Jesse!

[@jusoart7101]

I lost it at "forget the bedsheets. Save the book!" this video feels like jesse has been reading my mind while I was reading XD

[@FangirlingThroughLife]

Finally someone that understands! Every time I mention this to my friends they are like "How do you get distracted and start thinking of other things? That never happens to me!"

[@froggierpinces03]

I left my husband and son in the other room to come read with no distractions, and now I'm watching a video about being a distracted reader. Jesse always brings the truth with these videos!

[@aprilbancroft9705]

Yes I totally understand! I usually have to turn my phone on silent so I won't get distracted while I'm reading!

[@sydneymarshall3204]

I get this problem a LOT! Most of the time I sit and admire the actual book.

[@sarthakkokane5776]

THIS IS SO RELATABLE AS USUAL I LOVED IT

[@fragrantpages1024]

Omg this is SO me. The two main distractions for me are my phone (social media man, it's killer) and seeing other books that I want to read as well. The struggle is SO real

[@lalithanaraparaju535]

OMG I can relate to this soooo much! Especially being afraid of talking on the phone. . .

[@thejourneytonarnia6511]

The Raven Boys! Thanks for including my favorite video of all time in your video!

[@ritaparker749]

Yes! I'm constantly distracted by work or Facebook when I'm trying to read.

[@imfromneverland3692]

"I wonder what the sequel of this book is going to be like" that's so reall like bro I'm not even half the book and already thinking about the next one

[@camilamvera9363]

I couldn't stop laughing. I get distracted all the time by everything and it's not just when I'm reading but when I'm watching a movie a series and it's just like in this video.

[@bookishlove1535]

This is so very true. You have the most relatable videos

[@lightlawliet3526]

Yes. Talk about distraction. I end up re-reading one paragraph five times without noticing or absorbing any information from it.

[@mandiconnell3311]

The phone thing is so true haha facial expression and everything!

[@karodino]

This is actually me. All the time. Every time I try to sit down to read I find something new to distract myself with.

[@thephantomofthearchives4973]

OMG that's so me!!! I'm always coming up with stuff I have to Google *right nao!* when I'm reading. It's especially hard being a writer and having everything spark ideas for that plotpoint or character arc I was working on (Or give me new ideas to add to the "will write someday" pile of plotbunnies that almost puts my TBR to shame.) BTW, you broke me at "donut". (I happen to be in my grad class on break atm, and not randomly cackling like a crazy person in front of everyone is so hard right now.) 😂😂😂

[@tarascott6898]

OMG I LOVE HOW YOU SPILLED THE WATER

[@MorgothBauglire]

I can literally read while a group of people are talking and be invested no joke I don’t get distracted easily when I’m reading a good book for example the hole miss peregrine series 🙂 I love those books so much !

[@christine_and_bean]

I've never laughed that hard and felt so attacked at the same time

[@hyacinthustheflower8456]

The pillow in the back says "I read past my bedtime" and honestly, same

[@georgialees1026]

It even happens to me when I'm reading a book I'm really enjoying xxxx

[@emmamadsen3111]

Ahh THAT IS SO ME! It happens all the time because I can't focus u less it's completely quiet or I'm in the middle of the book!

[@anjali_m727]

I am with you in this Jesse... Gosh! I got distracted so easily while reading when I saw a video of yours titled Distracted Reader... ;)

[@kendalltracey3143]

Omg Jesse I can relate so bad. My attention span is so terrible that I've had to schedule times in my calendar for reading.

[@Libib]

The distraction I face the most is when I'm sitting in bed reading and I accidentally take a nap instead! It happens to me all the time, and I can never get any reading done!

[@irisong3255]

when I get distracted I continue reading, just not actually reading and then I'm in the next chapter but have to go back because I've been blanking out

[@mariahpeterson9433]

Haha this has been me recently! I have been in a mini slump and every time I pick up a book, I get distracted, then I go look at my shelf and think about all the other books I want to read haha

[@KingdomHeartsFan3211]

Me, because I’m a very easily distracted reader, and I have to say to myself, “Book. Read. NOW.” One thing that I find helps with immersion and getting less distracted is reading along to the respective audiobook sped up to your reading speed. You soak in everything a bit more; and once you’re into the book, you’ll find it easier to read it even without the audiobook.

[@gracie9658]

I love these kind of videos, they are always so relatable 😄

[@Chloe-ic4lu]

This is so me lmao😂 I love it when you make videos likes these, they are awesome

[@missgnomie24]

Aaahhhhh this is so me! I justify distracting myself by binge watching booktubers, I mean... it's ABOUT reading right? That's ok right???

[@RDWheat]

"Forget the bedsheets, save the book!!" I did this when I spilt o.j. all over my hardcover copy of Landline - Rainbow Rowell 😂

[@headphonebooks7319]

this video was so relatable for me because i have ADD so i get distracted very easily while reading

[@boringhuman4514]

I love these skit videos so much keep them up it's awesome!!!

[@ManiacalReader]

I sometimes relate to this, but not that often. My phone and computer are off and away from me when I'm reading.

[@sofiaacero4757]

I'm always distracted with the cellphone, it's adictive! I loved the video, amazing! 💕💕💕

[@givemesomethingels1395]

Omg this video is so me! Finally someone acted out my constant swirl of thoughts that I have while reading😱😊

[@oliviageorge9868]

this is my brain while I'm trying to read. I'm easily distracted

[@LS-ui1un]

"War and peace" got me like this😂😂😂

[@emilyjoy6051]

i just realised that you were reading the raven boys which is the exact book i’m currently reading whilst being distracted and watching this video on being a distracted reader. i don’t think i’ve ever related to anything so much in my life😂 also 1:27 is actually me and i need to stop

[@zahrahalcyon3654]

THIS VIDEO IS DISTRACTING ME FROM READING!

[@gavinodowd2167]

The natural light vs artificial light always gets me 😂

[@withlovesavannah4163]

OH MY GOD YOU WERE TALKING ABOUT PEEKING AT THE END OF THE BOOK AND I DID THE EXACT SAME THING FOR THE RAVEN BOYS ON ACCIDENT IF YOU'VE READ THAT BOOK THE LAST LINE IS SO IMPORTANT

[@shapalabras]

"Forget the sheets! Save the book!" Amen!!!!

[@erin8438]

OMG its sooo good to see this video & see the comments because now i know im not the only one!!! everyone reads so fast nowadays and im here still trying to complete my reading list from last year. 😩

[@randomreader]

I love these videos so much! They are so creative and fun to watch! I loved your old videos too, but you seem so happy when you film these they just really stand out!

[@charlottesreadsthings211]

This is so so relatable.

[@raynahailey]

I love these skits, they are so creative and different! Good job! :)

[@sushidragonmaster3555]

I can be reading and getting really into it and think nothing can distract me but then someone texts me and I start looking at every form of social media I use then 2 hours later I go read again and the cycle continues :)

[@mischarowe]

You can't use tv shows or movies to distract me. Games and writing, and other reading and watching youtube... yeah, spot on.

[@DianaMTorres185]

This is the description of my entire reader life😂😂

[@beatrizdevincenzo9728]

"Everyone knows I am terrified to talk on the phone " This is me

[@franceswhite7451]

Oh look, jessethereader has a new video, I'm gonna put my book down and watch!

[@rhetoricalproceeds4835]

When you want to read and know what happens in the book but you don't actually want to sit down and read the book....

[@mylienlai7482]

I always read a chapter, then do something else, over and over again.

[@hamzahaider6607]
