But it’s still heartbreaking and on some level I feel like it should be my calling to help people overcome their math traumas.

It’s funny: I use the algebra I learned in high school (back in the 90s!) all the time when I’m working in Excel. College algebra (2019?), however, bored the living shit out of me & my need to find &/or plot slopes has been completely nonexistent.

I excelled at math when I got the fuck away from college math and instead got to learn at my own pace and ask questions. I've always had issues with words and my mouth so I got stuck with a lot of "dumbass" tags and knocked down. But watch me do it and notice I understand fine, ignore my mouth.

My brain and mouth just can't match up well and I joke about having mild aphasia, but give me alt ways to present myself and yeah I pick up more than I'm given credit for.
