I had clearly unresolved ADHD and couldn’t study. Like, I didn’t study more than 10 minutes for class. I think first quarter I had a B, then a C in the second quarter, then a literal F on the final. I dropped out of the class mid-year and didn’t return the second semester.
I never took another math class in my life. Went to a 30-50 USNWR ranked school (shockingly good considering how poorly I did in a few classes) and got by with fake math classes like the philosophy courses that counted as a quantitative credit. Poli sci shithead, so much of college was paper writing, which I wasn’t bad at.
While it didn’t really impact me in a literal sense, it created a life long obsession with beating myself up for being low IQ.
I also did very poorly in physics, chemistry, and advanced Spanish, again largely because I couldn’t ever study, I couldn’t focus and I couldn’t get enough sleep.
Later in life I got my shit together, but the academic failure haunts me still.

Do you struggle with basic math irl? Like can you use algebra to solve problems, use excel, etc?

You could try to rectify it at community college to get the monkey off your back.
You might have had a terrible teacher?

I scored highest in my 7th grade class on the diagnostic to determine calc or pre-calc path in HS. Teacher put me on the pre-calc path despite a 97 where the threshold for calc path was 80 because I never did homework so was rocking a B- in his class. Still have a chip on my shoulder from that and it totally turned me off from math until I took a logic class in college.
Now I work in finance.
