Is there a name for when someone thinks they are really bad at something (for example math) and they have learned not to trust their own intuition at all so they make really wild errors by second guessing themselves?
Here is a question:
Which angles are equal?
To me this is an "easy" question even if you don't know about isosceles triangles or anything. The symmetry of the figure suggests that 3 and 2 are congruent.
I have a student who is struggling with this kind of thing.
