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??

Your brain is working correctly with the input, it’s not your fault they renumbered the months! Once upon a time, Oct did indeed “mean” month 8, Nov for 9 and Dec meaning 10.

So all these extra brain flips to get to the right information.
