Frustrated Student Vibes

[Andreas]

So, I’ve been studying super hard for math tests, but no matter how much I prep, my scores never improve. It’s starting to feel pointless. Could you break down what learned helplessness is? I want to understand why I’m giving up even though I know I shouldn’t.

I totally get this feeling. I remember cramming for weeks for a calculus test, but every time I got a low score, I just started thinking, “Why even bother?” Turns out, that’s kind of classic learned helplessness—when repeated setbacks make you feel like your effort doesn’t matter. Reading this what causes learned helplessness behavior really helped me put words to what was happening. Once I understood it, I could actually change my approach instead of just giving up.
