I know that seems a little vague- as a child I was a big reader\/ creative writer and always felt more comfortable with humanities and the arts. I\u2019m quite self-aware in terms of emotional responses, and tend to understand people\u2019s feelings through what they say (or don\u2019t). However, I spent most of my school years rattling off excuses for why I hadn\u2019t done my maths or science homework- the truth was it just never seemed to \u2018click\u2019 and I\u2019d get incredibly frustrated. I know a lot of people are completely opposite and seem to have an aptitude for the logical and numerical aspects of life- what decides this? Hypothetically- How could two people (with the same education level, IQ etc.)- when taught the exact same thing in the same way- take to it completely differently? Why do our brains pick up some things easier than others? I hope my early morning ramble makes sense and that you have a great day being a fabulous wall &lt;3<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Hi there, UK early morning rambler! So excited to have a question from across the sea. We all have our unique talents and strengths, and for many they seem innate. At times in life it may make a lot of sense to go with your strengths, though we have to achieve a certain level of competence in areas in which we struggle. You can go back and work on those areas at another time in life; perhaps when it is not under the stress of a graded course, and maybe see the discipline in a more positive way.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It\u2019s nearly 4am and I\u2019m talking to a wall! \ud83d\ude42 Good morning wall (from the UK!), Could you please explain (if possible) the reason why I can understand some things but not others?
