Good luck to you ♦♦ You may be onto something there, as far as reducing the AMT. of intense math you have to do on a given day.
That's a shame (you being prodded so much as a kid) - I want to tell u of a book that may (possibly) be of help to you .. I know it helped me to 'get out of my own way' by getting 2 know myself better & not blame myself as much (dont' know if u have the Time for it, but make a note for possible future) -- it's called "Finding Yr Own NORTH STAR", & it'll guide you in your Life path.
Plus, I think IF u can take some time to do the exercises in it, you'll have #Notes on your tendencies, your Likes/Dislikes -- then You'd know for sure about making a change in your studies ! ☻☻
Also exercises help u avoid the 'same mistakes' , and feel better abt yourself overall.
Finding Yr Own NORTH STAR
Thank you for your kind words, I will definitely look into it! I wish you a wonderful day
