I have weird quirk/tendency to stop listening / be distracted when someone explains something like during lectures for example. I fking hate this and it makes me dangerously close to failing college.

Generally, I don’t have it elsewhere. Just when someone is doing a verbal explanation, online or in person.

Perhaps it’s an issue of concentration, although generally I am able to do homework when I’m alone and focussing on it. At same time, I do get distracted relatively easily.

What is wrong with me? How to force myself to pay attention during classes and not doze off?

    What really worked for me was attempting to type verbatim everything the professor said. You aren’t going to succeed but you’ll get better at making sure you get the important stuff but most importantly it forces you to take in what’s said. Worked for me quite well, though obviously it won’t work for everyone.
