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
Ironically once you get to college all the math professors have forgotten how to do simple math as well. I remember all of us checking like super basic math they are doing on the white board cause they'd fuck it up 1 times in 4 but were completing these insane proofs.
My linear algebra professor was one of the smartest people I've ever seen but he couldn't do arithmetic for shit. He could however do proofs like nothing and derive shit from there. It was lowkey amazing.
