I really loved reading until i started middle school. And by the time i graduated i no longer found any enjoyment in reading.

I've tried so hard to enjoy it again as an adult because there's not that academic pressure, but now i even feel apathetic about reading stories I am interested in.

I used to want to write

I used to want to make games for people to play and enjoy

Now I just want to get by and i hate myself for it

It's not your fault. Don't hate yourself and don't give yourself pressure. Relax and maybe it will happen, or maybe it won't. Either way, don't push yourself.
