Am I autistic? I can't fucking comprehend highschool math. I know this is bad, and I need to in like a year. Is it enough? I can't concentrate at all...been trying to solve some simple equations and was completely blind of the fucking square paranthesis around the fractions.

How can I be this retarded? Also, important to mention, I know most of the theoretical concepts, just always miss something when solving. I really need help Veeky Forums. I mean, I'm planning on practising everyday from now on, but besides that is there anything else I can do for the next year? I don't know how pathetic it may sound...all this...but my whole future hangs in the balance.

Sounds like u need to comme de fuque down . You're letting it scare you. Take a break, do something fun and come back and take it slow. You'll get it. Practice makes perfect

I'm in the same boat as you, I can't concentrate for shit. I do well with abstract thinking, but I really struggle with concrete and logic based issues.

Stimulants seem attractive, but they're not a viable long term solution. I wish I could somehow stop being defunct in this respect.

Well I am pretty scared. I thought I'd like math. I got into a class centered on math bc of previous results. Now I'm a fucking olympic in literature...from a math class. How can one be so wrong? And I'm gonna fail bc of complete "moronness" if that is a word.

I'm honestly trying not to involve any external substances. I've never taken additional classes, heck, I ain't gonna take additional glasses. Excuse my bad rhyme.

You're just scared of notation etc. You'll get used to it.

I'm not scared of notation. I wish I was...if I see it I know what it is and don't have difficulty understanding. But man, some of those incredibly simple stuff just throw a wrench in everything. If I actually manage to understand what an exercise asks of me, then my next big step to overcome is calculating stuff.

Most of the time I know the theorem, but I mess up at the simplest addition. I really do feel like a brainlet for this.

Just do more problems and don't try to memorise math, try to understand it

>"in mathematics you don't understand things. you just get used to them."

i think even if you don't fully understand what you're doing, repetition can instill a form of understanding. often if i don't fully understand the reasoning in a proof, if i repeat it enough times it will eventually click.. but if repetition doesn't do it alone i ask for help

practice nonstop and eventually you will pick things up a bit faster
