i feel ur post like i used 2 b great @ maths but now im average so its like critical hit on my self esteem 😔 👊
YES YOU GET IT. Now I am still “good at maths“ (that’s really debatable considering the current state of my maths course but that’s a different mental breakdown) but it hurts so god damn much when people base your intelligence solely on maths. Like especially when you come to a section of maths that you might not necessarily understand as well as the others. It makes you feel so stupid because “oh why am I asking for help I should be good at this“ so you end up sitting there struggling in silence like an absolute buffoon. And because we base our intelligence on maths it hurts when you don’t understand it because it’s like “I thought I knew what I was doing guess I’m dumb now” and you feel stupid and very much like an imposter.
So I am going to remind you too. You are not stupid because you are “average” at maths. You are a smart person and I hope you have a good night friend.
