Weird lab experience, would appreciate any advice please!
This is going to be pretty long, I apologize! As the title states, it's a weird situation that I honestly don't know what to make of and I want to provide as much context as possible.
So I'm about 8 weeks into my program and while I'm definitely not the best I wouldn't say I'm the worst either. We all have our strengths and weaknesses, there were a couple things that seemed to take me slightly longer to get down than the others in my lab but I didn't get the impression that I was falling super behind or anything. As far as I'm aware, I am progessing at the appropriate pace. There's nothing we've done so far that I don't understand or know how to do at this point, and nobody has said anything to me that would make me feel otherwise. (Our instructor said that she would directly communicate with us if thus were the case) Well, a couple weeks ago it really started seeming like my lab instructor was correcting me seemingly constantly, definitely way more than the others even though they were making the same small mistakes I was here and there. (I know they were because I literally watched them happen.) It was like she was watching me intently for mistakes every single time I was doing anything and only kind of glancing around at the others while they were practicing. I kept telling myself that it was my anxiety talking, and that unless she straight up told me there's some kind of serious issue with my progress then I'm just imagining this. Well, a couple days ago I was studying with one of the girls in my lab that I have kinda become friends with, I mentioned to her how I was feeling and she said that she noticed the same and had for awhile, and that she didn't understand why it was happening because I'm definitely not bad so it's really weird that she's focusing so much on me, but I'm not imaginig it. This really messed me up, not gonna lie. I have no idea why this is happening to me, I have never gotten the impression that my lab instructor doesn't like me or that I'm a horrible student or something? I know I should probably ask my instructor, but at this point I don't even know what to say or even think about this situation. I have no idea why this is happening but it's really bothering me and I would love to hear any insight or experiences anyone else has with a situation like this. Any advice would be so appreciated!
