Distance learning requires students to study from home online with various limitations and minimal facilities. Changes in the learning system certainly has a major impact on the psychological condition of students. This article will describe how distance learning affects students^ self-efficacy. The research used qualitative approach with interviews as the main data collection method. We interviewed 11 high school students. Based on the analysis we argue that distance learning during the Covid-19 pandemic has caused doubts, pessimism, hopelessness and helplessness in students. It affects their self-efficacy and lower their motivation in pursuing further education.
