All my friends are smarter than me and can focus so easily and understand everything while I'm stuck still trying to learn things I should've already learned or trying to remember what the teacher even said. Literally how can they tune in to everything the teacher says.. Like you mean to tell me you can actually focus and remember?? HOW???
I actually cannot tune in to an entire lecture of words from a teacher for my life. I try to listen, but it's either my brain immediately shuts off after not understanding one thing they said or not being able to focus on both writing notes and listening to them talk. Like if they're explaining something and I'm actually starting to get it, then if I don't understand one thing they said then my brain just quits trying to learn it and I start daydreaming the entire time. And while I'm doing the assignment, I try to understand it based on the notes I took but if I don't understand ONE little detail then my brain gives up.
I also have terrible memory. I forget everything that was explained if it's not written down. When I'm busy working on an assignment at home, I completely forget about the others because I'm busy doing that one. And mind you, the easiest assignment can take me HOURS to do while other people finish it in minutes. I procrastinate on assignments a lot too and have no sense of urgency unless it's really important and the deadline is coming. But even then, if it's really important and the deadline is about to come, my brain gets overwhelmed by the stress and completely shuts off so I can't even progress and then I completely miss my chance to finish it and ruin my life even more.
Even as I'm typing this, I still have missing work to do. I'm never making it in life

mari!!
I suffer from the same thing and I can't really like.. help because I still haven't figured out a solution myself < : [
It doesn't sound like you're not smart or like dumb or anything though!! The act of learning can come much harder to some than it does to others, and that doesn't make them any less smart! Real smarts come in your actions, what you believe, how you treat people.. not in how well you can follow a lecture or do an assignment!! the ed system is faulty anyway!!!
tysm!! i also struggle with remembering things that everyone should already know and then i look like the stupidest person on earth and it's really hard to ask for help too because if i ask for help they're definitely gonna call me stupid or get annoyed because i still don't understand it after their explanation
THIS IS SO UNFAIR BRO
