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?
I recommend starting with 10 minutes of daily mindfulness meditation. It's a great way to practice recognizing what your mind gets up to and catching it during a lecture before it has a chance to wander off on you.
