I have weird quirk/tendency to stop listening / be distracted when someone explains something like during lectures for example. I fking hate this and it makes me dangerously close to failing college.
Generally, I don’t have it elsewhere. Just when someone is doing a verbal explanation, online or in person.
Perhaps it’s an issue of concentration, although generally I am able to do homework when I’m alone and focussing on it. At same time, I do get distracted relatively easily.
What is wrong with me? How to force myself to pay attention during classes and not doze off?
That sounds interesting. What kind of exercises?
Part of my ADHD would cause high levels of frustration and occasionally get towards a panic attack? There are things like slowing your breathing, removing yourself from where the frustration is for 10 minutes, and reapproaching, etc.
It’s one of those things that is hard to give blanket things that work for everyone. You have to figure out what works for you, and a Therapist is qualified to help you with that discovery.
