Why can't I force myself to go to class?

It can often be extremely challenging to will yourself to go to class, or even get out of bed. Perhaps you feel stress or pressure from a friend, family member or colleague. Maybe you feel scared of socializing or embarrassing yourself. Honestly, it could be any number of things - have you got any unfinished deadlines? Are you able to get a full night's sleep? Don't let yourself think you are a letdown, it is completely natural to feel scared of going to class. Please talk to someone, whether it is one of us here on the site, a friend or someone in your family. Your health and happiness is so important x

Nothing is rarely ever as simple as to just "force" yourself to do it. Most things need purpose and motivation. This way it feels good before, during, and after you've done it. Have you set a path for your future? Is there clarity about who you are and want to be? Do you know how you want to proceed? These are all questions one can ask themselves in finding out if they have the motivation needed in accomplishing things. I recommend searching on websites, such as YouTube, for "study motivation" or "motivational stories". Maybe that could be a start. Another way would be to seek out a school guidance counselor that can set you on the right path of success, motivation, and purpose. Good luck!

There are all kinds of reasons why you might be unable to force yourself to go to class; the best way to determine the cause is to do an honest assessment of your physical and mental health. Are you getting enough sleep? Are you eating healthfully? Are you drinking enough water? Are you taking time for yourself to unwind from stress? Have you been exercising regularly in a way you enjoy? Are you feeling unmotivated for classes alone or for other areas of your life as well? Are you avoiding class out of fear or frustration with the material or professor? Are you working yourself too hard between classes, work and other activities? Take a few minutes for some self reflection and assessment, then once you’ve pinpointed the cause take time for some self care in whatever area you’re struggling with, and if it’s too much to handle on your own consult a health professional for extra help.

I am studying French simply because it pleases me when nothing else does. I have been doing so since 2016. Many I started with already finished the course. I am halfway through. I only go once a week because daily classes are too overwhelming. I dread leaving the house, rubbing shoulders with people and having to talk when I'm not in the mood. It frustrates me that I have to push myself every Saturday. But I remind myself that I love it more than I hate the discomfort. It works sometimes. I have missed classes for months at a time. But I've managed since the year began.

Reading your question , it seems as though you do not like attending classes.

Sometimes it is hard to find motivation to do things that you aren't excited for. Perhaps if you started setting goals for yourself such as go to class, go for a walk, sleep early, etc. then going to class may seem more bearable! Along with this, when you attend class you will feel better because the anxiety of missing class won't be there, along with an improvement in your grades! Perhaps even making some new friends in your classes could be helpful. Set SMART goals for yourself, and do not be hard on yourself if you happen to slip up some days.

Going to class is never going to be something fun you do. School in reality is a chore, but much like brushing your teeth; you gotta do it. Many classes are boring and tedious, however if you can find motivation for yourself to go to classes it might improve your attendance rate. Finding friends in classes is a huge motivation to go to class because you will miss out on fun opportunities if you are not there. Also if you just go to class now, you won’t have to worry about things like summer school and detention. Going to class is worth it because you get the education you need to set yourself up for a successful future.

Is there something that’s making it hard for you to go to class? A person there? The work itself? Whatever it is, identify this obstacle, and find a way to remove it. If it’s a person, try talking to your professor. If your workload is too much, also talk to the professor. If you are finding that you physically cannot muster up the energy to go, there are many things you can do to help! Try drinking more water in the mornings. Make sure you’re getting enough sleep. Make small, gradual changes to your lifestyle and you will notice a difference. I hope this has helped you, or someone else reading this! All the best x

The reason is that you are forcing yourself and not doing it wholeheartedly. It's a tough job to attend all classes and take down lectures but something interesting or a passion for something makes us attend them. It could be a simple reason such as shortage of attendance or compulsions from parents. Its rare to find students who love to go to school or college for studying . It's done for sake of doing until you like something about it. People don't go to class mostly because of laziness or oversleeping or frustration. There are multiple reasons. Doing something you like and something acceptable in the environment of a classroom could make you attend the classes.

There could be many reasons. Anxiety can pin us to chairs and floors without us knowing why. I had a season of life where I couldn't get off a chair. I was stressed and isolated and unable to function properly. And slowly I figured out what was a part of the maelstrom that ended with the chair freeze, but, know that it happens to many people. It is often your body and minds reaction to some things in your life and is stops you. Just relax. Find a place in your mind and body to find some kind of stillness. Now if the question is more to "I am physically able to go to class I just don't want to" then you could track where that fear/ anxiety/ boredom comes from. To find ourselves safe in a room of strangers to learn sometimes difficult concepts, we need some semblance of protection, resilience and desire.
