Day 13.　Be Addicted I can't stop checking italki everyday. I think I'm very addicted to it and I feel I'm not normal these days. Sadly, I've lost my interest in books these days. Every time I start reading a book, somebody's comments on italki, no matter how nice or terrible they are, come up to my mind and they interrupt my reading. I was supposed to read a few books but they have been left and unopened on my desk. I usually go swimming twice a week but, on the last weekend I forgot it since I was into the discussion forum. I've stopped posting the discussion forum since last week. Posting comments seem to produce dopamine in my brain. It's like alcohol, cigaret and gamble, which make me feel exhiliarated especially when I get up-votes. I think I have to focus on only posting notebooks. I appreciate all people who help me with my English.

Day 13.　I've Become Addicted!

I can't stop myself from checking Italki every day! I think I've become addicted to it and I feel that I haven’t been my normal self lately. Sadly, I've even lost my interest in reading books these days.

Every time that I start to read one, somebody's comments on Italki--no matter how nice or terrible they were--come up in/into my mind and they interfere with my reading. I was supposed to have read a few books by now, but they have been left alone/undisturbed and unopened on my desk. I also usually go swimming twice a week, but this past weekend I forgot about it since I was deeply into the discussion forum.

So, I've stopped posting in the discussion forum since then. Posting comments there seems to produce dopamine in my brain. And, much like alcohol, cigarettes, and gambling, it makes me feel exhilarated, especially when I get up-votes. I think that from now, I should focus on only posting here in the notebooks section.

Regardless, I sincerely appreciate all of the people here who have taken the time to help me with my English.

Hi Hanji. Good job! Yes, I know the feeling! If I do not correct, at least one essay each day, I feel lost! LOL! Anyway, whatever changes that I’ve made were merely done to allow your sentences to sound more natural to my native ears. I hope that this helps you. J.

“everyday”—means “commonplace” or “normal.” Here, you should use “every day” which means “each day.”

P.S. I am not sure if you were joking or not, but if someone is making terrible or offensive comments, you should report them. Constructive criticism on your writing is fine, but anything personal is not. This is a learning website, and regardless of their language level, everyone should feel welcomed here.

@John. When I start to read a book or while I read a book, I often recall some comments that somebody posted on italki. They disturb my reading. I can't focus on reading a book. I don't mean to read a book and some comments at the same time. I used commas wrongly and the sentence became unclear. I hope I make myself understood. Thank you for your good question, John.

Every time you start to read a book, SOMEBODY comments on Italki. Every time I start to read a book, somebody comments on talks. Every time i read somebody's comments on Italki, I feel like reading a book. What were you doing "reading a book and Italki at the same time"? or "was it something else" That particular sentence is unclear.
