If you're like me and countless others, my money is on the culprit of school being like "You don't get it yet? YOU'RE FAILING AND THERE ARE CONSEQUENCES. Look at the smart kid who is effortlessly succeeding! Let's dote on them!"

Like sheesh, of course I'd never want to try anything I don't have a natural affinity for. Thanks! Lol

I'm glad we realized this and broke out of it though. Many are not so lucky. :(

that is my primary suspect. but the problem persists into adulthood to. there is a generational rift between myself and the one before me where people don't want to teach what isn't already known. or just can't understand the process of learning enough to communicate effectively with eachother.
