As a kid I was also terrible at maths, then later became obsessed with it as an adult because I didn't understand it, just like OP. It was the (second) best thing I've ever done! The world becomes a lot more interesting.

I haven't been able to grasp maths as a kid nor as an adult.

I've tried night classes, tutors, activities. Nothing sticks.

Even the standard 12x tables I struggle at. I want to understand it but my brain just can't understand the non-practicality side of things.
