I think that people who hate math just hate the way it’s taught and have mentally blocked themselves from ever trying again.

Mathematics is something anyone can enjoy.
Downvotes take me, I’m ready.

A lot of it is pacing - once you get left behind it’s hard to catch up.
Also, no-one shows them anything sexy like triangles on a sphere, horocycles, or matrices encoding multiple transformations.

As a fellow math lover this is not an unpopular opinion lol

upvoted because algebra was a miserable experience for me. The final exam was 3 equations, and it took me 16 weeks of daily practicing those three equations to pass the exam. I hated every minute of it. My professor was cool. It wasn’t her fault. I did not enjoy it.

It depends on how deep you go, though… Also, we’re supposed to upvote unpopular opinions, right?
