I don't know where to begin, but I guess I should vent out my frustration that's always kind of been there with my lacking ability.

Mathematics. It's never been something I hated or despised as much as the next kid in the classroom. I was glad they had math because at a young age I knew it served a purpose. It's never been my area of expertise though and I've never been able to excel at it like I'd seen others do when I used to be in high school. For some reason, maybe it was a logic or a reasoning problem with my brain, most of my school career I did poorly in this subject. I scraped by with a C - and sometimes going as low as a D+. The only math course in high school I ended up doing...okay was in Algebra I where I had a B as my final grade. I always felt so stupid for not having a natural ability to manipulate numbers and get the right outcome. It always seemed like I messed up or I wasn't getting it and when the teacher would throw up some problems from the homework I found myself scratching my head wondering how she derived that because when I looked at the notes she gave us in class she never did a problem in that way. Every other class I'd get straight A's in but in math it was dreadful. It's not like I set myself up for failure, I gave it a try and it seems like it just never computed. It's like an itch. I want to be good at it, but how am I ever going to get good?

I gave up on math by my junior year of high school. I stopped at Algebra II. I aced the final exam and the mid-term (did this with the others as well) but the normal tests throughout the course I'd almost bomb. I don't have any explanation for why I did better, maybe I just felt compelled to review harder, I'm not sure. But I decided enough was enough and then I started to miss having numbers in my life. I started renting books from the library trying to teach myself Trigonometry and trying my hand at Calculus. They seemed easier to do and I did a lot of math my senior year just in my free time.

Then I was going to take a community college placement exam and I couldn't believe my eyes once it was over. I was placed in Pre-Algebra. I hadn't even made the cut for Algebra and there I was thinking that I was getting the hang of Trigonometry. My confidence was shot and I got upset. They were telling me I had to redo my math courses. That I had to go through all of it again and once I developed a love for science my senior year with Physics (I had taken a Physics course and did pretty good (A+)), I knew it'd be so much longer before I could become what I wanted to be. Hell, even get a Physics degree it'd take a lengthy period of time. Setting me back that far just killed me. I went to the library right after and rented some Algebra books and I know they were easy. They were way easy, I can't believe how easy they are. But how did I do so bad to land myself in there? It was probably my fault. Maybe I hadn't done it in a while and I just needed to refresh myself on the material. But I felt terrible and it baffles me still today. I don't know, I don't know where I'm going with this. I just had to get this off my chest.

Sometimes certain topics can just mess with our minds. I was always good at math and the first time I took a proof based class I felt absolutely stupid. I couldn't understand anything. This didn't mean I was stupid though. It isn't uncommon to have a good intuitive feel for physics but lack in math. In particular I believe Einstein had this problem (although I admit the math that was required was very advanced). Anyway, welcome to the forums and if you have any questions about math, just ask. Lots of friendly and knowledgeable people are just dying for you to do so

Mathematics is a difficult subject that requires a lot of work. For me, this was a large part of the attraction. I want to do something challenging.

You mention physics. My first degree is in physics. I was amazed by how many people dropped out in the first year as the "wanted to study physics and not mathematics". The simple truth is that physics requires a lot of mathematics. Often this mathematics may not be very rigours nor will you often need to get too involved in deep proofs. (Unless you take a more mathematical view point). Mathematics and physics are greatly intertwined.

Don't feel stupid. For most of us mortals it is difficult and takes a lot of time.

I know exactly how you feel. Math has always been my worst subject. Even other people who I felt were idiots would do better in the class than me. It can be really annoying, but I think for us we just have to work harder to understand it. It is sooooo frustrating, but look at all the A's you got for all your other classes. That's really good.
I, myself, love foreign languages. It comes so naturally. I've learned Japanese and I'm ending my first year study of Chinese. I'm sure you have other natural talents but don't let math get you down. I try not to let it, but sometimes it still makes me do this:
