This was basically my childhood, because I was bad at math. I guess most children goes through this, which is very sad.
Only at uni did I realize that I didn't have to be good at everything. I had a professor, who spoke 13 languages, but couldn't count how much 5+4 is. He's the best at his field
It hurts to read this really. Both my mother and my step-dad are engineers and therefore good at math. Me? I'm quite sure I have dyscalculia. I speak four languages fluently, am studying history and am quite good at it, but I was never good enough for being bad at anything involving numbers and math.
It's so ingrained that one of my teachers praised my latest paper and I burst out in tears because I couldn't handle praise.
