i wanna read so much but it's just that everytime i read, i tend to reread a phrase again and again because i feel like my brain is telling me that i should be familiar with that word or i just feel the need to repeat even though i fully comprehend what I've just read because i wanna be fluent in english maybe that is why, which is the reason why the i lose my interest to read because i get frustrated easily by doing that but I just cant resist doing it, I also saw similar post telling that it's a sign of OCD, what methods did you guys use to overcome this, i really wanna make reading as my habit.

Yo I had this exact same problem! What helped me was literally putting my finger under the line I’m reading and forcing myself to keep moving it forward. Sounds dumb but it breaks that loop of going back to reread stuff
Also try audiobooks for a bit – can’t really go backwards as easily and it might retrain your brain to just keep flowing with the story
What is your first language? Might be helpful to read in your first language if it isn’t English then read the same passages in English after?
