View Full Version : Lack of "study" confidence
squinty 11-02-08, 05:00 PM Everyone who was here BEFORE November 2007 might know... :mmhmm:
Anyway, I want to know how I can let my "confidence" in my studies rise and not fall... I can't seem to get the idea that I am a "failure" and no matter how hard I try I get a bad mark in 1 of the subjects..
It is random now, the marks I mean, like 1st I was bad in Physics and good in Math but now I am WORSE in Math and okay in Physics....
My point is, I want to learn how to have the "confidence" that I will do good in my studies and never go into a bad mood? :help:
i need this help too :p
i believe in mashi 7alak ( walk yourself ? ) lol
so just study when you feel you want to study otherwise it will be in vain
but the problem if we don't feel we want to study at all
NiGhTFaCe 11-02-08, 05:28 PM Stop roaming in Sabla & you will get your confidence back :bored:
amo_l_oman 11-02-08, 05:41 PM Maybe if you stop wondering and wondering and wondering without finding suitable answers, you'd come to some conclusion :rolleyes:
Find an activity! Play a sport or simply go to the gym! That should help you clearing your head and staying sharp and surely will help pushing the bad feelings away! Take sometime off the net too and make sometime for yourself away from the daily routine you are living now.
squinty 11-02-08, 08:33 PM I tried to be AWAY from everything.., The only good thing I did was LEAVE the people from this country! :D
But when it comes to studying, I have a DIFFERENT mood for it! :no:
At times I feel like I am doing well and I can do it and at times.. BAM!
BACK TO WHERE I STARTED!
See a shrink :p :rolleyes: :p
squinty 11-02-08, 10:30 PM It really is not funny....
amo_l_oman 11-02-08, 10:35 PM Problem is we can't get to understand what you want
Going back home, changing major, getting married
what ?
Well..its not funny...but I don't know what to tell you anymore. I mean you initiated several threads related to this, and we advised and advised you repeatedly, but you always have something to say, and all our advises are no good for you. So yeah, see a shrink because they might really be able to help you since we proved that we can't!
squinty 11-02-08, 11:35 PM .... ok whatever you all say...
eL3yo0oN 11-02-08, 11:46 PM Hang out with ppl who study and not ones who have ur problem too..
Pygmalion 12-02-08, 12:44 AM -:) I want to say something but I dont want some people to say...come and try what I am doing then talk...like the other day!
Where is Umm Khalid by the way? :)
Marchese 12-02-08, 12:45 AM Ok I have this problem too and whoever I hang out with gets infected :bored: help?
I became a good friend someone in my university who used to be smart mashallah, but after getting to know me his GPA dropped from 2.6 to (I don't know what exactly) but below 2.0 in ONE SEMESTER :p so, shall I stop making friends?
Pen_it_Black 12-02-08, 01:00 AM Camp in the library and cram.
That's what I do :cool:
squinty 12-02-08, 01:05 AM I go to the library.. But I can't always study well and do well..
Pen_it_Black 12-02-08, 01:06 AM squinty....remember what I said about negative thinking?
Marchese 12-02-08, 01:06 AM I can NOT study in the library :os I have tried doing that many times but I usually give up and go home.
squinty 12-02-08, 01:07 AM Believe me I am in the library and I did my math by looking at the example for EACH question.. I can't do anything with my head.. I try..
squinty 12-02-08, 01:09 AM I can NOT study in the library :os I have tried doing that many times but I usually give up and go home.
Well, I know how you feel, because I don't feel like studying..
But you have to have the mood even for 5 minutes, right?
Marchese 12-02-08, 01:16 AM Well, I know how you feel, because I don't feel like studying..
But you have to have the mood even for 5 minutes, right?
No I can not study anything in any library, especially our university's library because other students keep making noises by hitting on their tables, throwing their books on the tables and talking to their friends. I can not study anything if there's any other noise around the place + I usually see people I know in the uni's library who HAS to come say hi even if they knew I was busy :mmhmm: That surely affects the studying mood, if it existed :bored:

Umm.. I have a problem studying as well..
But when I go to the library i tell everyone i want to be ALONE!
So i can study and all...
Pen_it_Black 12-02-08, 01:34 AM Read what is on this page and then paragraph about metacognition on the next page. Please keep an open mind as you read, it gives some really good tips on how to put yourself into the mood of studying (even if it's about Java, you can apply it to other subjects)

squinty 12-02-08, 01:36 AM You want me to read ALL that?! :os
You know I hate reading, right?
Pen_it_Black 12-02-08, 01:36 AM ..........
Ok..
I GIVE UP!!
Good luck in your life squinty
squinty 12-02-08, 01:38 AM ..............thanks...
*knows he is hopeless and a failure...*

if you're gonna think that then it's gonne be true.
Stop whining and just push yourself to do what you need to. I mean I went out of my way to get you the link to something that might help you, and instead of taking a look, the first thing you say is go "I hate reading"? This completely proves that you don't want to be helped. Don't ask for help if you're gonna just brush off every advice given to you.
I think you need to change your attitude to life in general, not just studies.
squinty 12-02-08, 01:51 AM Believe me when it comes to life I can do just well... My studying mood is the WORST thing I have ever gone through and I keep on trying nothing works..
I hate reading and you gave me a book with over 500 pages!
What do you want me to do?!
READ IT?!
Of course I will tell you I hate reading if it is THAT long!
Pen_it_Black 12-02-08, 01:53 AM ...
Did you even read what the hell I wrote?
Let me quote what I wrote
Read what is on this page and then paragraph about metacognition on the next page.
Are you reading what people post to you?
squinty 12-02-08, 01:57 AM You know when I open it it goes to the 1st page?!
squinty 12-02-08, 01:59 AM Now it is restricted! :bored:
Pen_it_Black 12-02-08, 02:01 AM It should say We think of a headfirst java reader as a learner on the top of the page I am referring to. When I click on the link it goes to it.
If it's not on the right page then go to page xxii, IF you're intrested.
squinty 12-02-08, 02:06 AM ^^
It is restricted for me..
Pen_it_Black 12-02-08, 02:13 AM Is it?
Ok then I guess there isn't much I can do. Sorry about that.
squinty 12-02-08, 02:40 AM It is ok...
And sorry..

Now, you have no excuse for not reading it!:p
Pen_it_Black 12-02-08, 02:47 AM LOL Superfreak :D
Why is the headfirst java stuff high lighted?
Superfreak 12-02-08, 02:49 AM ^ dunno really. Strange!
Thanks for the link. :)
Pen_it_Black 12-02-08, 02:51 AM Welcome hunz and cheers again :D
NiGhTFaCe 12-02-08, 02:54 AM The problem you waste your time thinking of this instead of doing whatever you supposed to do.
I am serious, take a break from Sabla! :bored:
squinty 12-02-08, 02:46 PM Thanks.. Will read it when I get back!
Nightface...:bored:
You have no idea how bad my life is right now so ES is one of the reasons that make my day... :bored:
NiGhTFaCe 12-02-08, 02:58 PM Bad life?! How bad it is?! I guess the Sabla here gives you the base to discuss what you supposed to avoid.
Avoid all this mess you are thinking of, the more you think without taking an action, the more you get in.

Now, you have no excuse for not reading it!:p
Read it... I see what you meant PIB.. I guess I need to fight with my brain? :p
ok I can try to make a "drawing" for Physics... or try too..
But what about Mathematics?
Anyway.. Thank you and I will see what I can do from here!
squinty 12-02-08, 03:00 PM Bad life?! How bad it is?! I guess the Sabla here gives you the base to discuss what you supposed to avoid.
Avoid all this mess you are thinking of, the more you think without taking an action, the more you get in.
You really don't want to know...
Anyway, back to topic, my head is not so "keen" about studying and I never was a "brilliant" student to begin with... But I am trying and because things are HARDER here that is why it is HARDER for me to learn and understand...
And you are saying I should leave Sabla and keep on studying?!
Where is the fun that i need then?
All I do is study and come to ES!
NiGhTFaCe 12-02-08, 03:05 PM Yeah sure I don't want to know, & seriously I am not interested. But, I want you take an action. I am not saying don't be in Sabla & have all the fun you see here. But, you are TOO MUCH discussing this messy thing of yours here.
Sometimes there are things we should clear them in our minds & do something instead of complaining & crying around!
You have to kill your best friend. trust me... after gaining the Mangekyou sharingan... you will whine even more for power... where is your manhood ? if you cant seem to study, just get the hell out of there and work somewhere where you can.. why pushing for something you cant do ? if you believe you can do it, you will do it fullstop. oh yea I just dont mean believe as in thinking in mind, but working on your fuc*ing self too.
