This happens to me. I constantly need to re read shit. What has helped me is getting noise canceling headphones and put on some white noise or something. Helps keep my brain focused on what’s in front of me.

I just find it incredibly difficult, almost impossible to not read diagonally and not have my focus jumping around the page 🤔💜

Right there with you. I’ve struggled my whole life. Never been able to read books. I can barely do podcast or audio books for similar reasons. The background white noise helped me, and was diagnosed with ADD. Got some help, and finally started finishing books etc.

I hope you can find something that helps. The background noise was the start to myself figuring out how to manage.
