I don’t have many examples, but to bring one or two up one was my scuba diving course in Thailand.
The dive instructor showed everything and we copied him in a pool. And everytime we had to do all the things I just looked bad.
Another example was climbing. They show how to tie the knot to harness, everyone successfully manages to tie the knot and I am standing their like an idi**.
The thing is what I observed is that if I have time to do things on my own and no pressure I seem to do “okay” and once I can do it I do it blind.
Anyone else experience this? What can I do? I am at a point I am afraid to learn new things because of failing infront of others.
You don’t understand it is all, there’s nothing wrong with that. We’re just not absorbing it in the same way is all, and in my experience it depends on the thing being tried, with it being our way of not looking too much into things, which is the opposite issue. Your examples are understandably difficult anyways, I can’t even swim if that counts as a slow learning issue.
