Could be as trivial as a type of food, a TV show, or something more serious.

I didn't say I'm not a math person. It literally becomes confusing. I imagine it's like how dislexia works. They know words. They know what words say, just putting them together doesn't happen the same way as everyone else. I fundamentally understand the individual elements but I just can't assemble them properly in my brain like I can with everything else. Even if I know the formula and put the numbers in the right places it's like the processing step in my brain just...doesn't, or won't. Hard to explain.

Dyscalculia?

TIL there's a name. I suppose that would be it.

From the Wikipedia this is spot on.

Ability to grasp math on a conceptual level, but an inability to put those concepts into practice.
