Why Am I So Bad at Maths?

What seems like simple tasks for others is a challenge for me. I took a long time to understand and work out the answer to division, percentages, fractions, and certain multiplication problems. Until this day I still find these difficult, often impossible to do mentally, and need a calculator. I never fully understood word problems, even after re-reading them several times.

I could never, and still can't, understand how the problem becomes the solution in maths equations. It didn't matter how many times someone explained a maths problem to me, from teachers to family members, I still struggled to understand.
