Wen I left school I had no qualifications whatsoever, I had not been able to learn a thing in the classrooms even though I am not totally stupid. I only seem to be able to retain fragments of information which very rarely connect with others.
This has come up again for me because my lifelong love of science has decided me to study the subject and try for a qualification of some sort, my initiall efforts take me right back to school days, I can absorb just so much them everything else gets scrambled and nothing sticks any more
Does anyone else have similar experience of learning? Did you find a way of overcoming any difficulties you may have had?
I would be glad to hear from anybody about this.

Greetings. Find a subject to specialise in, and augment what others try to tell you with being "self-taught". If you are relaxed, happy, and know what you are about (i.e. confident, experienced, adaptable) then "Learning" changes --- from being stressful to being an interesting challenge.
If you are good at something, or enjoy something, then make that your "identity" or "defining self". Then challenges become enjoyable, and other unrelated challenges do not have to count. It is not easy, yet this carries its own worth and will always lend you strength whenever you feel (or are made to feel) "down". (Hopefully anyone understands what I mean!)
