I am 17 and have been noticing that I have been facing the same challenges as I did since I was in elementary school. Whenever I am taking down notes in class I can not digest what the teacher is trying to teach me. I try so hard to concentrate but can't retain the information. Even when I get one on one help my brain feels like it just shuts off when someone is trying to explain something to me and I can't help it. The same kind of thing happens when I am around guys that I am not close too. My entire personality shuts off and I feel like I'm a robot with no emotions. In school I have good grades this is why my parents think I am lying. Another example is I have a good mark in english (~80%) but I failed my literacy test because I just froze and could not think. I also have trouble putting ,y thoughts into words, I find this very challenging for me at times. I would very much appreciate it if you can give me some advice on what to do or what this can be? Thank you.

Hi Jordy

have you ever had any testing done to see if you have any learning disabilities? Even people who are very bright and get excellent grades can sometimes still struggle in some areas of learning. An educational psychologist can do these kinds of evaluations and then suggest specific accommodations or training to help

Things like ADD, auditory processing etc can have the kind of issues you mention
