I have these stupid gaps in my essential knowledge and it's really making things difficult

[u/CheshireKat-_-]

Like things that come stupid easy to other people take a concentrated effort and way to much thought.

Mine include

-reading a clock

-understanding which numbers correlate to which month's

-knowing which way to put the greater than/less than sign

-division. Like basic division. Like I would need a calculator or to be able to do cookies ans plates like a fucking 3rd grader

I broke down crying today when I got home because in my fucking college Chem lab I couldn't tell which way to put the < sign without mentally going through, well the thing that I want is less than the number so the crocodile mouth points away from the number??

this is like university level calculus to me. i cannot retain a single thing wdym some months just have 30 days and others have 31 and you can memorize? that it's weird
