Who else does not bother saying the answer they know is right?
you, me and I reckon a lot of other autists here. This is what happens when you're a socially awkward fuck that's scared to take a chance.
I always answer because the faster you answer the faster the lecture will go on
Happened to me thousands of times.It's frustrating as fuck.
But I'm not autistic, and sometimes hang around with the "cool, confident guys"
Maybe just scared of being wrong? But most of the time I really don't care what others think of me...
Maybe then, I am autistic.
This is the attitude and reason people should be answering.
But do you still answer if you know you may be wrong?
What's even worse I come to class with prepared and tripled checked solutions. But still waiting for others to answer
>But do you still answer if you know you may be wrong
If i have no idea then no, and I'll be greatful for the detailed explanation. If I have a vague idea I'll try to propose something plausible, this way the professor feels engaged and he's not discouraged when explaining it properly
yeah this happens to me, I try to use the frustration to motivate me to answer more quickly in the future
I have a class right now where this one guy comes in (who clearly has extensive background knowledge in the subject already) and always tries to answer literally every question the instant it is asked, gets them all basically correct but often with bg knowledge that we haven't been taught and that isn't part of the book, and always with a really shitty "I'm bored" tone.
Why are you even in the fucking class at a shit-tier midwest university if you know so much asshole!?!
When the prof has to say "I want to hear from someone else" it means you are a fucking autist.
Maybe you could try and be more like him instead of being a faggot and waiting to be spoonfed
