Hi.
I'm getting my degree this year, and I seem to have lost all interest in learning physics. I don't feel like studying any more, I just don't see the point in it. I was fine when this semester started, I felt very motivated and I even started reading up the recommended bibliography before classes started.
But a month after that I started to lose all confidence in myself. Everyone I meet seems smarter than me, more interested on physics than me, more focused than me, and I feel somewhat inferior. This leads to less time and energy put into studying, which makes me lag behind the class, which reinforces the cycle.
I know the smart thing to do is to stop waiting for motivation and just work my ass off until I get my confidence back, but I just don't have the energy to do it. If any of you has gone through a phase like this I would welcome any advice.
Thank you for your time.
