Abstract	This study examines the struggles of third-year college students in solving geometric proofs and their impact on academic performance, understanding of geometric concepts, and overall attitudes toward mathematics. Employing qualitative methods, the research identifies specific challenges such as difficulties in understanding abstract geometric principles, limited logical reasoning skills, and a lack of connection between theory and application. Key contributing factors include insufficient prior exposure, gaps in foundational knowledge, and traditional instructional methods. The study also explores the influence of these struggles on students’ confidence, motivation, and attitudes, revealing that persistent difficulties often lead to reduced self-esteem, decreased engagement, and heightened anxiety.
