(28 F) I become furiously angry trying to learn math and this makes it even more difficult to concentrate because I end up either giving up or skipping through parts I should be paying more attention to out of resentment that I don't "get it" right away. Every other subject I have no issues learning or retaining information. It's been this way since early childhood and now it's the Achilles heel that is preventing me from graduating from college (I've taken college Calculus 5 times!)
I feel ridiculous/ashamed as a 28 yr old adult throwing an inner temper tantrum simply bc I don't immediately understand something, but after going to tutoring/therapy/wasting hours staring at the same tutorials I'm still stuck in the same spot, which leads to even more frustration and wanting to just give up.
Logically, I know I'm capable of learning if I can get past this mental block, just not sure how to stop feeling triggered/anxious/terrified by math. Any suggestions on how to make learning something you don't enjoy more interesting? Thanks in advance

I'm glad you noticed this.
Why would someone post the same article using different user names?
Human behaviour is a mystery to me.
Human behaviour may be mysterious, but this not understanding the use of different usernames does not reflect on you dear Robert, for it is a Copybot and not a human. They have taken to making up names in lower case with a single numeral at the end. I think both posts were copied from Reddit.
I became a bit obsessive with identifying these imitations a couple of years ago because they are deceptive. Either my return to these forums has uncovered some, or they never went away. I think to avoid bumping up the spam threads and the links they include, I might just start another list of the bot users on the old Copybot thread.
