>Be me >Have to study>Not induldge in any distractions like YouTube, video games, etc. >Start studying>Get within maybe like 15 minutes or some shit and start to get bored>Start to get up and walk around>Or just literally rehearse or create my own anime fights in my head and then wave my body and arms around like an autistic retard like I'm in these anime fights >End up wasting maybe like 30 minutes to an hour at this pointI am unsure if I'm too retarded for college or get too bored easily or maybe it's both. What do I do?
>>35008661Do you have ADHD.
did you actually want to go to college?
>>35008661Try to be as retarded as possible.
>>35008672I don't know>>35008685Kind of, if I stopped going my parents would nag me so I have to stay>>35008686Okay
>>35008709>Kind of, if I stopped going my parents would nag me so I have to staythat's your answercollege requires more effort than high school and to face it you have to want it enough, if you're there mainly because of parental expectations, no wonder you're procrastinating the hell out of itjust be honest with your parents about what you feel and if you'd like to study something else or do something else
>>35008661Are you in school? You might have ADHD, or at least a warped attention span from tiktok brainrots. Anyway, all that to say most colleges offer free mental health clinics. If you say you have trouble focusing, they can point you to resources to help focus, be that a doctor who gives you Adderall or therapy.
>>35008722I might be coping by sayign that though, because deep down I know that maybe I'm just retarded, I'm 25 and been in community college for 7 years, I'm sure I'm a hopeless cause but again maybe I'm coping if a part of me believes I can still succeed if I just put maximum effort into it. The issue is that if I can put maximum effort into it, then nothing is motivationg me to do so. >Just do something else like trades, military, etc.Nothing else interests me, computer science is the only thing that does but it's like I still lack the discipline to do anything even after all these years. Again I might just be hopelessly retarded but I still feel like I'm not if I just work super hard but then I can't make myself work hard so idk what's wrong with me
>>35008764fake it until you make it isn't just a saying, it's a way to point at the power of the mind: if you believe and tell yourself you're fundamentally incompetent, then you'll act more like itnow, if you actually care about what you're doing, you have to shift gears in your mind, thought patterns are habits after all, just like keeping a good posturewhenever you begin to ruminate about how you can't do it or you find yourself shifting, just state to yourself "I can do this"; note well, this isn't a guarantee you'll always make it if you think confidently, it just opens up the possibility of doing it also, drop all that "maximum effort" stuff, what matters is constant effort
