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

This is all in the mind. It is not that you CAN'T go to class, even if you "force" yourself, it is that you subconsciously may not BELIEVE that you can go to class. Trying to force yourself only puts more negative stress on you. Try using positive affirmations after hearing your morning alarm or before you walk into class: (Ex: "I can do this", "I'm OK"). If you wake up with the preconceived notion that you are going to go through hell trying to force yourself to go to class, you won't want to go because you simply won't want to fight with yourself. Change the routine, wake up a little earlier to settle yourself and to get ready in your own time, and affirm yourself with your own words or a recording. YOU CAN DO IT!!!!

Why? Well, you've weighed the pros and cons in your head, and it makes far more sense to not go than to attend. To go to class would be against your instincts of self-preservation. Unless something is able to change your mind, of course you won't be able to force yourself to go to class. There has to be some sort of outside force that can compel you. Maybe it's a friend or family member. Maybe it's something you read online. If you're religious, maybe it's the voice of God. If you're not religious, maybe it's the unconscious part of your brain being stirred to action. It's perfectly reasonable to not want to face the outside world. There's quite a bit going against you. But, for starters, try not to be so hard on yourself. There's only so much you can do on your own.

Forcing yourself to school is tough. It sounds like you don't like going to class. When did that feeling start? There is must be a reason that makes you feel like that. Curiosity can prompt you to learn and make you want to show up at class. Is it possible for you to try finding your motivation to learn? If thinking on your own is not helping, talk with someone. It could be your friends, family or even listeners on 7 Cups. The feeling is going to stay if you are not seeking the root and resolve it. But please believe it is solvable.

From my experience I would say that maybe you don't feel emotionally safe in class, or maybe you are really smart and class is just boring for you. You could also be feeling lonely and uncomfortable at class, because you don't like the peoples at your class. Sometimes it can be almost like addiction to skip class, at least it was for me. Other times there are peoples who already know what they want to become and there are a lot of classes that won't be necessary at life, so it's really hard to force themselves to go to these classes. For everyone it is different answer, but one thing that helped me was to think about my future and dreams that I want to accomplish and understand that I need to learn every class to get to that even if it will be unnecessary.

Well, surprisingly, it may not be about a lack of willpower. Think about why you don't want to go? Do you not like the teacher? Does the material confuse you? Do you just not enjoy the class? Once you have established a reason for why you are not going, it will be far easier to find a solution. If you are in high school, you may be able to talk to your parents about this class, and they could switch you out of the class, or perhaps change teachers. If you're at university, you may be able to drop the class if you find that it's in your best interests.

Well, here's what I've experienced..If you're not in the mood for class or feel unwell, it's better to stay home cos otherwise it gets difficult to concentrate:( Sometimes we need breaks to get back rejuvenated:) I have often gone to school on days when I dont feel like, and it hasnt been the best experience..On the contrary, I have found on many occasions that when I take a "well deserved break" as I call it, I feel so much better getting back to studies or classes! So here's the conclusion: Never force yourself to study or work when u dont feel like..Instead, just rest for a while or relax by shifting your focus to other activities and then get back when your energy bar is full!Lots of love and strength to you :)🧡

Forcing yourself to do things isn't always the best way to get yourself to do something. It can help to think about it a couple of different ways. One is the positives: What good things do I get out of going to class? What is going to be easier for me if I go to class? Another is to figure out ways to make it easier: What are the steps I need to go through to go to class (get dressed, get on the subway if it's physical or turn on your computer if it's online, etc)? What would make it easier for me to feel okay with going to class? Another is to figure out what is hard about it, so you can address it: What makes me feel bad about going to class? Is it that I don't have time to make the assignments? Is it that I don't feel safe? Is it that I feel lonely in it? Is it that I feel sick? It's not going to be easy, but it can be more manageable if you try to think about a task in its easiest possible terms and in ways to make it easier for you.

Sometimes people don't want to go to class simply because they lack the motivation to or don't feel the need to go because they can learn everything by themselves. Everyone's learning style is different so it's best to adopt the one that you find works best!

You can't force yourself do anything, but you always can try to think of something positive of going to class so that you'll go willingly

I think sometimes we feel afraid of our own emotions and we overestimate their power. As a result it can be very difficult to do something we believe will cause us pain and discomfort and therefore avoid it.
