I was a competition math kiddo in elementary and MS and i was ngl good but it got to the point where my parents would yell at me if i didnt get t3 at every competition i went to so i went from loving math to hating it and i quit bc way too much anxiety lol

Then later in HS i dual enrolled in proof math classes just bc and i really liked them so i sm back
