failing math class

I am disapointed in myself because I failed my math class and I am afraid to tell parents that I failed. Even though I could re-take the class, I am still disappointed in myself because I feel like I could of done better. I am trying to stay postive, but I am just really sad and disappointed right now. I am not expressing it though because I don't like expressing my emotions.

I have dyscalculia. I can't do maths for toffee. It's the one thing that's held me back. Retake it, don't give up. It's been really the only regret in my life to date.

That is interesting, and I did not know it had a name! I noticed it in me many yrs ago in elementary school. I called it, “Numeric Dyslexia.” A term I coined for it. I can look at large numbers or a series of numbers and they will switch positions as I look upon them! Needless to say, it has left me with no confidence in doing math calculations beyond the very simplest forms!

@Thorstormbringer what you described however is not dyscalculia, that's still dyslexia 🙊
