Underachievement

Underachievement occurs when someone, such as a student or professional, performs below their full potential or expected standards. It may happen despite having the ability, often due to factors like lack of motivation, poor time management, emotional challenges, or external pressures. Essentially, it’s not a lack of capability, but rather a gap between what one can do and what one actually accomplishes. Addressing underachievement involves understanding its underlying causes and providing support to help individuals reach their full potential.
