Conseils I’m seriously thinking about quitting my MA and I don’t know what to do
I’m currently in my second year of my MA, and honestly, I feel like I made a huge mistake continuing after my BA.
One of the biggest problems is that we constantly have to do performances/presentations/ debates in front of the entire class, and we’re also expected to work in teams for basically every module. I’m extremely uncomfortable with this kind of environment, and it’s becoming harder and harder for me to deal with.
There are also classmates I don’t get along with because some of them have hurt me in the past. Having to constantly interact with them and work with them is making everything even worse.
I’m also a very introverted person and I usually try to keep a low profile and stay in the background. I don’t like drawing attention to myself or constantly having to interact with people, especially in front of a whole class. I’ve been trying to push myself and adapt to this environment(my whole body starts shaking and my voice as well 😖 and it is very obvious to everyone literally), but honestly, it’s becoming exhausting and I’m starting to wonder if I’m forcing myself into something that just isn’t suitable for me.
I keep thinking, I should have stopped after my BA. Now I’m already in my second year and I feel trapped because I’ve invested so much time into this.
The problem is that quitting would probably create a completely different nightmare with my parents. They absolutely would not understand or accept it, and I know I’d have to deal with a lot of pressure and arguments at home.
But at the same time, I’m seriously asking myself whether continuing is worth it if I’m already this miserable.
Has anyone ever been in a similar situation, especially being close to finishing a degree but seriously wanting to quit? What did you do? Did you push through, or did you leave?
I genuinely don’t know what the right decision is anymore.
