redditors make up a new disorder to cope with being r-slurred
I'm pretty certain i have this. I've legitimately cried full on snot and everything after a exam in college at the age of 26.
waterboarding could not get me to embarrass myself like this in a public space online who normalized going to strangers and telling them everything about your pathetic life

I thought i was shit at math and then I came to America.

Why do so many Americans struggle to make it but poor immigrants come here and can thrive? It's because their competition are Americans

I'm failing my math class so hard right now. It's like my brain just won't let me remember the formulas and how to basically do anything.
So you’re just dumb? Got it

i have trouble with simple math like 5 + 3

Sometimes I used to switch numbers around accidentally, but other than that I’m good at math and all that means is that I had to exercise more attention to detail when working problems.
Kinda resolved itself. Wonder what kind of clusterfrick my life would be if I let some bluehair convince me it was a disability and the only thing for me to do was NEETmax and collect SSDI.

I was shit at math but I studymaxxed when I was 16 because I wanted good standardized test scores so I could get money
I switched every thing around. Then I started investigating and tabulating every error I made in a notebook and wrote down what kind of error I made. Within one week I was 30-something% better at math despite barely understanding the concepts better. I just became more consciously aware of not missing negative signs until it became an internalized behavior I didn't have to think about.

Every problem is another mental illness. Like collecting badges lmao. Heaven forbid people take some responsibility or face the fact that they may need to work a tiny bit harder than others to be good at something.
Let me get this straight. In your tiny worldview - people acknowledging, accepting, and understanding their mental illness is a bad thing? It's not always solved by "working a tiny bit harder". Sometimes it's a disability/illness that requires learning how to approach something completely differently. People like you that assume that mental illness/disability is the evasion of responsibility and work is pure idiocy.
Having a mental disability isn't fun. Not being able to see things in the same way or approach problems in a way normative society dictates is acceptable isn't convenient. People like you that stigmatize mental issues are a huge contributor to this ridiculous perception.
At least educate yourself before making absurdly stupid statements like this.
educate yourself sweaty

not disagreeing with u but the post- its not even a mental illness. its neurological. they have it all wrong
- 14 Context
what's the difference? I thought all mental illnesses were neurological.
- 8 Context
nope. theres psychological (most mental illnesses), and neurological. for example schizophrenia and adhd are listed as both psychological and neurological because the symptoms fall into both categories, and are partly caused by structural issues in the brain

ok but seriously reading the wiki article of dyscalculia really makes it seem like these people are actually mentally r-slurred?

I guarantee you that the overwhelming majority of people posting in that thread about how bad they are at maths didn't apply themselves in maths class and never studied, just assuming that one day they would magically understand it.
I notice that a lot of kids who are "gifted" in English class don't find maths intuitive the way they do reading and writing, so they give up on it. Then later in life when they struggle with basic numeracy skills they just complain that they were taught wrong or have a mental illness. Of course, there are genuinely shit maths teachers out there, lots of them, but if kids who don't understand the material never ask for help and refuse to study then they aren't going to get anywhere even with the best teachers in the world.

Yeah, back in HS I was r-slured at maths I scored like 2/20 in tests and stuff and I just thought I was too stupid to do HS maths.
But then I still needed math to finish HS so I legit studied on a regular basis for 1 month and that is all it took for me to pass with an 11/20 in the national exams

I had no goddarn clue what I was doing in Partial Diff Eqs and got a B-
I couldn't reproduce anything from that class with a gun to my head
- 19 Context
if f(x,t) = X(x)T(t), f/x = f/ t must be equal to some constant . Then you just solve the two differential equations on their own, and solve for the value of . Ez pz.

Diff Eqs was the first time in my entire lifetime I ever zoned out during a lecture and snapped back into it and was like "holy shit what" at what was on the board.

You vomit a bunch of Fourier series on the page and hope it gives you something reasonable eventually.
- 13 Context
Yeah partial diff eqs are r-slurred and no engineers will deal with them unless they are fully forced to
Just make some assumptions, turn it into an ODE, then slap some error bars on it

Yeah I'm not that good
I haven't even had to do a derivative at work ever

Yeah I’m a software engineer now so I don’t even see equations anymore but I used to be a chemical engineer
Speaking from experience from the latter. But no one solves equations by hand anyways so most PDEs just get put into MatLab anyways. But back of the hand calcs yeah PDEs are a no go
- 10 Context
You should encounter PDEs as a software dev if you are doing any computational engineering.
But I agree, most PDEs that you encounter during your job are not solvable analytical, but numerical. So all the shit "learn to solve them" goes out the window.

Oh ffs this is just called being regarded.

I've met people of dyscalcula before
25% are r-slurred, but the rest have personal problems like daydreaming in class, going home and playing video games instead of catching up, and then getting in a cycle of horrible anxiety.

Sanitation engineers make more than your average engineer though

My teachers told me I was SOOOO smart in grade school. I just didn't apply myself It turns out the only reason I've been an entry-level barista for the past seven years is that I have dyslexia, dyscalcula, autism, and mental r-slurdation.
You see, I truly am smart (my second grade teacher said so), but the reason I got bad grades and had a failure to launch is because I struggle with all of these diagnoses.

I knew a guy who had legit dyscalculia a while back and I can confirm that dude was actually fully fricking r-slurred. Like people would hang out with him and then ask him if he had a developmental disorder tier r-slurred. He would always get mad and go "just dyscalculia!"

Idk the only person I’ve met with dyscalculia was a light sperg who ended up doing cs after brute forcing all his math classes. Really struggled with math but just used all his neurodivergent focus on it. God bless that man.
