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?
Taking notes helped me a lot in college, and I have ADHD. My guess is you’re lighting more parts of your brain up when you’re listening and writing that information down. Though I won’t do verbatim dictation, I just try to write the key points.
