Is it bad to never read books?

Reading is reading.

It doesn't have to be in physical book form. It can be reading a forum, instructions, a cereal box etc.

It's not bad if you don't pickup a book; just be sure to be reading something regularly. (If you can read)

You don't want your reading skill to lower over the years just because you didn't practice; applicable to most other skills, I believe.

If only my english teachers agreed with that ideology.

you can listen to audiobooks.

I use to be like you too but recently I started reading I think it kind of bits of help practicing with focus. 

Since our attention span is only like goldfish now you know. 

Focus is one of the keys to success for sure.

Books can help improving your reading and extend your vocabulary.
Not reading any is not bad in a way that it will harm you or something, but it's generally recommend to read some I'd say.

Don't stress too much about it, do what makes you happy. You'll get there some time in the future

I defend to read books, I´d like to love read books, but I'd like if I said it. I think in this new Technological era, exits a variety of media to get knowledge, so, I don't think do not read books is equal to a short a cultural level, however is quite important that you approach your knowledge through other medias (videos, reading articles, conversations, podcast, etc)

I've never finished a book in my entire life, the most I've ever read was like 1/4th of the pages.

I just can't find the motivation to read the whole book.

Everyone says that all smart and successful people read lots of books, does it mean I will be at a huge disadvantage in life? 

Is anyone the same?

you should try to find out the correct topics that you are interesed in..

i think thats something you have to keep pushing yourself on, and it definitely helps to find stuff you are interested in

It's not that bad, but you should give it a chance. Umberto Eco once said "the person who doesnt read lives only one life. The reader lives a thousand times." Don't feel any pressure, reading should be a pleasure and if you don't enjoy it then you don't have to force yourself, just find another source of knowledge. I listen to a lot of podcasts while playing videogames and they're a good substitute imho
