I haven't seen that but it would throw me out too if I thought it didn't fit the character. You say someone like Phoenix Wright is bad at math and doesn't like it I'll believe you even if it isn't my personal headcanon. You say Tony Stark doesn't like math and I will laugh as a backbutton away.

I never really got the hate for math, honestly. It's a little boring, to me at least, but that doesn't really warrant me hating it. *shrug*

Eh, for me it's because I'm that bad at it. Like...I've gone over the same section for two days and finally broke down crying I was just that frustrated and couldn't get it...and that was remedial math.

That said, I never bring this [math] up when I write so...idk.

I'm sorry. For me it was English. I was really, really bad at it. I would cry during spelling tests. I guess... I fell in love with English because of how much more it meant when I finally got it right. So sometimes I forget people never get it right.

I'm sorry, anon. I hope things are better now.

Ayrt

It's not - now I get to go through college level maths ^^;; But I somehow managed to pull an A from somewhere for the remedial so maybe I'll get through it somehow.

That said, I've never gotten spelling, and that's never really bugged me. But I do love history and well...I can see why people don't like it, but at the same time it does make me roll my eyes when people complain about it.

If you're getting As, even if it's in remedial, I think that's awesome.

Eh, it wasn't just spelling. Everything English tripped me up. I was in a lot of after school programs for reading and writing.

I guess in school subjects we all have our liked and dislikes...

I feel your pain. I've struggled with math during most of my formal education, and it really fucking sucks because no matter how hard I try, I just don't understand it. (I've had sooooo many people help me out it's ridiculous and I still fail to understand anything that's not basic math.)

I don't get it, either, but that might just be because my number sense is so piss-poor that I don't even know what doing math is actually like, beyond just sitting there and trying to force it to make sense. So hating it makes about as much sense to me as hating something that only exists in another dimension. :P

Okay, you made me laugh. High-five.

That's actually really cool. Go him. /completely sincere

especially when there are subjects like chemistry out there which deserve all of our hatred

Eh, I've never really hated any subject. The only subject that ever came close was when I took Japanese and I can recognize that was less the language and more the absolutely horrible and reviled teacher who I had.

See... I actually loved chemistry, though math drove me to tears many times. Different strokes and all that.

I didn't get really excited about it until adulthood, but I love chemistry! And I have a long history of issues with math. Actually, it kind of seems like I see in chemistry what math-oriented people see in math, so that's kind of interesting.

People hate math because it's extremely frustrating for some people (like me).

I can read the math book section over and over and it still doesn't help answer the questions.

In no other subject have I ever just cried out of pure frustration like I have with math.

Doesn't help that every time a math teacher hands out a study guide it's never the same shit that's on the test.

All in all, some people get math. Some people don't. For those who don't it is an endless source of tears and frustration.

That sounds like how English was for me. I cried during spelling tests. It was a constant struggle.

I guess my confusion is because of how I deal with struggling. It just makes me more passionate about whatever it is that's too hard for me, rather than making me despair.

But it seems my reaction is far from the norm.

Sorry for not being understanding.
