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

It depends on why you are having difficulty with the task. Spend a little time trying to find the actual reason for missing classes. Do you feel anxious about certain courses? Are you simply overcommitted? Is there a physical or emotional reason that should be addressed? All of these in addition to many other issues may contribute to missing class. The bottom line is only you know the cause or can ask for assistance. The great news is any of these obstacles can be overcome. We all need help to find a solution on occasion. Reach out if you need to do so. It is much better to ask than facing potentially difficult consequences after it is to late to fix the current issue.

Sometimes we just dont have the motivation to do anything, thats ok, we all have days like that when we just want to hibernate. Try to set some goals for yourself though, but dont overwhelms yourself.

Perhaps you are lacking interest and motivation. Try giving yourself a little reward for everytime you go to class. Something like a TV break when you get home. Maybe that will convince you to go!

Hey love! You shouldn't force yourself to a class, it will only make you hate it more. Try creating your interest in that topic and then you'll willingly attend that class.

Remember that you are not your own servant. You can try and crack the whip and maybe it'll work every now and then, but you really have to believe that going to class will be of benefit to you. So, the reason you can't force yourself is that you're not respecting your wishes enough. Before you can go to class, you have to acknowledge that you're someone who will benefit from class and that you'd like good things to come from it. A good starting step is to negotiate with yourself. Treat yourself like you are an employee. Bargain with yourself. Because once you effectively bargain with yourself, you also can give yourself a meaningful reward for doing that task.

I struggled to go to class the last two semesters. At point I couldn't go for a whole week, which in college can really hurt you. Eventually I realized I was so depressed I could not get out of bed so I went to the counseling services on campus and it changed my life. I ended up going to counseling and am still in counseling. It was not a magical fix, there are still days when it is hard to get up and go to class but I've found that facing your challenges head on helped me. Also I got a dog so I was forced to get up and take her out in the morning which also helped me go to class.

If you are in middle school or high school you need to figure out why you are resisting class. Are you avoiding certain people? is there something else you want to make more time for? are you having anxiety or depression? If you can pin point exactly what it is then you can see a counselor or a trusted adult about ways to overcome it or work through it. Not finishing to a high school diploma will haunt you the rest of your life. I've never met one person to say otherwise. If you are in College then its time to think about what you want in your life. Why did you enroll? Has your passion changed? Is it time to switch majors? As a society we like to glamorize jobs, but then are hesitant to put the work in to get there. This is such a broad question so its hard to be more specific without knowing more details. But you are the expert on yourself. I also want to add that a classroom is not the only place to learn. If you feel that class is not enriching your experience then take free classes online alongside your current classes. I took electrical circuits and the class was dry boring and horrible. But I still attended and took a free electrical circuits class online and LOVED it! I still learned the skill and still passed both classes. I gained the knowledge and the credit. #keepgoing

Sometimes small things feel like big things and that is ok. Perhaps you are feeling like class is one of those big things today.

Find something about the class that you enjoy, what is your reason for going to the class. Is there a topic you choose to enjoy people that you enjoy in the class.

You can never force yourself, more so find the inspiration and the motivation to do so. I know it might seem dreadful at the beginning, but one day it will be so damn worth it
