Find someone to talk to. A close friend who's willing to just shut up and listen and not say anything is good. Your school probably has a counselling service, look them up, they're great to listen to you.
Or write about how you're feeling. The better you get this into words, the better off you'll be six months down the road.
I have limited information here, but your point seems to be that you're not as intelligent as you thought you were. Of course, that depends on your definition of intelligence. Read here: Improving Self-Awareness to Achieve Your Goals | Mind-Manual
If this isn't your deal, then lemme know, I can take another crack at it. I've helped a number of students with student-related problems. You can also PM me if that's more comfortable for you. |
That's pretty much it. My motivation is myself btw, parents don't care but they do pay for it.
I know intelligence is just one part of success so I always thought even if I wasn't that smart I could make up for it with hard work.
Now I've learned hard work can only get you so far.
When you half ass something and you fail, you know you could've done better and you just shrug it off, at the very least you know how to do better next time.
However when you give something everything and still fail, it feels completley different, it makes you question everything, that's actually what drove me to this site in the first place.
In the end perhaps there really is no solution but to accept our mental incompetence, but I just can't accept that.
