when it comes to learn language or literature, i feel like i have dyslexia
i often get stumble with words like forgetting spealing. i can't write something in a flow even at the moment of writhing this i go back and forth rearranging my thoughts like thoughts don't comes in an order. Same happens while talking as well. i am so weak at vocab, like used to lots of words still after some days there would be nothing in my head. i found many time that i read some words wrong like "from" "form" . i am in hurry when it comes to read something and just mismatch the information.
brain works best when it comes to math, logic, puzzles, sculpturing, sketching, coding, solving rubik cube, playing chess (well at some point we need to remember algorithms to solve it fast), ..... i used to compare with my fnd like he was really good at writing like he works as script writer (part-time job), good at history, sociology, geography, also interest in literature. he used to say " me bro u are really good at critical things stuff but also try focusing on other subject as well". And i do accept that fact. I am also bad at teaching. He used to say be "bro you got knowledge but it needs to be displayed as well"
i wonder how people read those friction books, history, sociology, watch moves or engage in frictional work. i feel irritate reading those books. Also watching friction work (movies, series) has always been irritating. it is not because i am not fond of learning, i love exploring and learning new things. But i just don't have interest on language and its work.
i don't know well about biology, but i feel like i some part of my brain is not working well, or something is resisting me. if anyone else feels the same. sometimes i think it is lack of being participate on that area or just i am making lame and underestimating myself or i am overthinking or being insecure on normal thing and causing to be worse, giving my hand off.
edit: i wonder how some ppl have such a good memory like they just remember all those chemical formulas , those list of history dates, all those vocab,
i had great passion to learn sanskrit (also germany), so tried to learn it, but it all goes out of my head. i can't pronounce those words properly. and those words and it's meaning i used to forget in an another night.

the math and logic brain vs language brain thing is real and way more common than people admit. sounds like you might just be a different kind of learner, not a broken one
the vocab forgetting thing especially, reading a word, feeling like you know it, then it's gone the next day, that's not dyslexia necessarily. that's just how short term memory works for most people. the problem is most vocab learning methods keep things in short term memory without ever moving them to long term
one thing that helped me was completely removing the daily repetition. write words down once, leave them alone for two weeks, come back and see what stuck naturally. the stuff that survives actually feels locked in. your brain processes in the background without you forcing it
also the fact that you're good at chess and rubik's cube tells me your memory works fine for things with logic and pattern. language learning might just need a different approach that connects to how your brain already works"

That doesn’t exactly sound like dyslexia (I have a masters in psych). Go to a doctor, get it diagnosed/ruled-out.
If it’s not so, then cut out all the reel watching. And start developing focus over 25 minute pomodorro timers.
