I never got excited for math, thus didn't care much to start with. But then add the issues of high school math and that solidified it for me. Math word problems were the worst. With a dyslexic brain I would consistently read the important words as something different, thus correctly solving the wrong problem and being derided for it.

Geometry required rote memory exceptionalism which also works against my brain design (adhd as well), but let me have the formulas to choose from and I'll get it done. Algebra II? I kept getting in trouble because I would do homework assignments in class instead of paying attention to the teacher trying to teach concepts that were easier for me to learn by reading the examples and following the book. After that, who would ever want to continue beyond the required credits and not think of further math as a masochist hellscape
