Do You Read Your Own Writing?

I can’t read my writing, and I’m not sure I need to

I have never been able to read my writing. I don’t know why, but it makes me so uncomfortable I have to close my eyes. I edit; sometimes, I even edit a lot. That’s okay because I’m making changes to my work. But if I have no intention to improve my work, and I’m reading just for enjoyment, I can’t read it.
