Re: Not good at math.
VGA, you make all of these excuses, it sounds ridiculous that you had some strange impairing injury, sounds like a grade A excuse.
You are the most insecure personality on KmC by FAR.
First of all, you need to develop an ego, not a self-centered ego, an altruistic ego. You need to believe in the simple truth that you can shape your world into whatever desirability you can imagine. Then you just need to go through that creation process. Your creation process is that of a pathetic hobo, that is the world you're making for yourself at this very moment in fact.
We are all self-fulfilling prophecies. Miracles of self-reference, the material world made conscious. Your future is limitless.

OK, so I had a brain injury at birth that affected my ability to do math, so I struggle with it (I struggle with algebra). This is really bad because most of the highest paying (Or at least, good paying) jobs require math and science. I guess I'm doomed to be a failure.
I'm not so hot at math myself - but I don't blame it on myself. I don't put the blame anywhere.
Oh, and you have a SERIOUS case of "patient-itus." It basically means that you feel that since you have deficiencies/a disease/a traumatic event, the world owes you something.
"Patient-itus" is the one thing that I have the least amount of sympathy for - I've gone through my own shit and so has everyone else, but we don't expect the world to turn for us.
This reminds me of back when teachers in math didn't let you use a calculator and then would say "WHAT YOU THINK YOU'RE GONNA HAVE A CALCULATOR WHEN YOU'RE AN ADULT AT ALL TIMES?" Why...yes, I also have a social network in my pocket, access to tons of information on the World Wide Web and much much more. If you suck at math just get a phone, almost all of them have a calculator nowadays.
Oh and your height? Who cares. You know who else is short? Wolverine and Vegeta, you know who are still badasses? Wolverine and Vegeta 😐. It's all how you perceive things, trust me I probably used to hate myself more than you do now, until I finally got mad at myself and did something about it and now I feel great. Sure you may not be tall but who gives a shit work your body into peak physical condition until you look in the mirror are impressed and happy with your hard work, there's billions of people in the world and each time you think there's not someone out there who has ______ there is. There are many girls who are shorter than you, their are also men with no legs who have wives. Suck it up and use your anger to fuel you, push yourself like no other and sink your teeth into life instead of just wishing something would change that's out of your control.
