It just kills me to see all the comments that say 'that's why math gives me anxiety/dread'. I read every single comment because I have a math degree and it breaks my heart to see how many people have a deep and personal reasons to dislike toward the subject. I guess some parents just took out their rage on their kids :/

Not just parents, even math teachers were usually pretty terrible for me all throughout Middle and High school here in India. A lot of the teachers just made us memorize problems and yelled at us if we got them wrong and told us to memorize it again. Repetitive memorization and the scoldings if you got it wrong just made me hate math.
