Update: Im a math major and Im STILL bad at math

Guys I appreciate all the advice and comfort from my last post but holy shit it’s just gotten worse. I think my gpa this semester is genuinely going to be like a 2-2.4… I don’t even know what to do anymore. Should I consider changing my major or do I just keep going? I’m currently a second-year and while I do usually enjoy studying math (at least more than other subjects), I’m performing really badly. I’m starting to worry about job applications in the future as well as internship opportunities because my marks are so terrible. Should I get out of my maths degree while I can, or do I stick with it and hope things get better? I’m genuinely worried I’m gonna get stuck here because of my unsatisfactory marks. I know that realistically I can do better in future semesters by working much harder, but I don’t know if I have the mental capacity to be studying something so rigorous.

I’m also just really embarrassed of how bad I’m doing. Whenever someone hears I’m majoring in maths, they immediately mention how smart I am to be able to pursue the subject. I feel like such a fraud because I’m not doing well at all and I can’t keep up with my peers. I’m falling behind and I feel as if it’s never going to get better.
