Is AUTHOR wrong in the post ? POST : I'm currently in a car driving home early from university and luckily my dad was nearby to come pick me up and take me home. I've not been the best recently after my girlfriend broke us up from a 2 year relationship about a week before I started my course and I'm noticeably behind the rest of my class.

I can't remember the exact conversation but the point relevant to this point went something like this 

Dad: So why aren't you doing as well as you think?

Me: I just personally think it's a lack of motivation. I've got nothing to really make me push myself.

D: Nonsense, you've got you.

M: I was far more motivated when I was with EX, when I was in Sixth Form she was one of the main reasons I did as well as I did and now I don't really have anything.

D: That's stupid, you should be putting you as your main priority.

M: I really don't care about me though, nothing about me motivates myself whatsoever.

D: You go the gym, you want to do assault courses, you're more than motivated.

M: That's only because I'm good enough to do it. I'm easily the worst in my class and I'm putting in some work but I couldn't care less about me regardless.

We're just sat in silence now and he seems upset. I didn't want to concern him, I only say things like this to him because he's the only one I feel comfortable enough to be able to get things off my chest to but I think I was too selfish here.
