NO WAIT HEAR ME OUT. I read this really great article on math anxiety and how a lot of manifestations of low aptitude and avoidance to math in many people growing up are just early markers of anxiety and anxiety responses. Most of the time it has nothing to do with the actual math but the simultaneous action of fighting off anxiety whilst attempting to solve an equation. I hated math growing up but now in my mid twenties I sort of miss it, I started doing elementary/primary school math questions every week and its kind of so fun to solve something in a safe space and recognise there is no need to be anxious about it because there are 0 stakes.
