I can feel the secondhand pain from your mom still clinging onto the hope you'll suddenly turn around and be interested in it again

I don't work at McDonald's I work for a govt contractor as a technician. But it is effectively the same level of work and McDonald's people could do it about as well.

No she is an accountant. She doesn't understand alot of it herself. She bought me so many math books and I read them alot when I was 13 and then I didn't anymore. She also bought me a god tier graphing calculator for my 25th birthday. The only time I used it was for optimizing my Dungeons and Dragons character.

at least you're not flipping burgers anon, would you like to tell us what you do?
Maybe there's a major that you'd find easy to grasp with the knowledge you have right now. Your mom can be happy too.

I'm not even a real technician I just operate a machine and put commands into it in an excel like program. Plus maintenance and stuff.

>>14174999
What was I supposed to use it for? I feel guilt every time I look at it.

Its best to explain with examples. Imagine a mechanic that only knows how to do some taks like testing and replacing some specific engine component. Thats a technician. A technician can be high IQ and learned but thats not the point.

I don't know I just wasn't smart enough for higher math. But then I never really tried. I also discovered tits around age 13 so that messed it up.

anon this is simple but very effective advice, talk to your mother about it. just have a general conversation about your feelings on the matter, approach it like you're working with her, not talking at her. say "I feel guilty when I look at that really good calculator you bought me" and when she says why, go from there. promise you it will better for both of you

Yes and no she just sends it to me because she thinks I will like it and I often do, yesterday she did send me something cool, it just reminds me I'm a loser who had every advantage and squandered it. It doesn't help that every friend I still have from school is a PhD or working on it. I like math but I'm not smart enough to make a real contribution to it.

2 years ago I started crying and told her I was sorry for being a failure and sorry I never did anything but I was too tired to even say anything.

Yeah she will never say it but I know she is disappointed in what I've become. She blames my teachers in school which makes it even worse. She cannot fathom I just turned out to be a stupid comer/consoomer like everyone else.
