I have a really hard time doing maths. When I’m in pure maths class and don’t understand anything I start to well up tears. This never happens in statistics. I then don’t study for pure maths cause the thought of studying it gives me some anxiety like I feel the worry at the back of my head cause I know I’m not gonna get any of it right. I don’t get it right in class either when we are learning a new topic everyone else does so well but I just can’t naturally grasp it like them.
How do I get my confidence up? How do I start enjoying maths? it feels hopeless I tried so many methods like trying to redo my basics (too long to do I have limited time until my exams so I gave up), forcing myself to do maths just made my anxiety worse, getting more help by doing an extra clinic in school but it doesn’t help with my feelings. Is maths a natural talent thing I really don’t know.
