It took me up until just this year (my senior year in high school) and my helpful Micro/Macro Economics professor from the class I'm dual enrolling in this year. He always encourages us to ask questions if we don't understand a word or phrase he uses in class. He realized I never ask questions and how I always sit in the back (mainly because in AP US Gov -the class that I have when I don't have Economics- I sit in the back since my last name begins with W and that's where I was assigned to sit). So now in Economics I sit in the front, which sort of bothered me because I kept thinking "Everyone's going to wonder why I switched my seat all of a sudden", even though I really had no choice. Anyways, back on track, I almost never understand anything in that class, but I don't want to ask questions because everyone else seems to know what's going on and I don't want to seem stupid for not catching on right away. I mean, obviously I'm not stupid and I know this because I'm around the top 10-11% of my class, but the feeling is still there. And if it's not that, then it's "Everyone's going to wonder why I'm talking, when I usually never talk", even though it'd be purely out of education. So, usually in these situations I'll tell myself that I'll go home and read through the text chapter and see if I can understand it through independent study. But it doesn't seem to help much since I have a horrible tendency to procrastinate and leave things to the last minute, which never helps at all because most of the time I just won't do it if it's too late.
The same goes with my AP Gov class and Trig. Especially Trig. I almost never understand what's going on in that class and don't ask any questions for the same reasons as I won't in Micro/Macro Economics.
Does anyone else have similar problems?
