Is it possible to be intelligent even though you aren't a Math person?

Absolutely it’s possible. I’m just like you in that way. And not to sound cocky but I’m pretty much good at everything else but math. Science(when there’s not too much math hah) english because I’m a pretty good writer, history, I’m also pretty advanced in Spanish. Everyone has their strengths and while I used to feel exactly like you, I was always overly self conscious about my math abilities an was ashamed of my math scores even though they weren’t really all too terrible. But then I realized that I will never be as good at math as my other subjects, and I need to stop comparing my algebra 2 grades to history/Spanish/chemistry/English grades. They only reason I do somewhat well in algebra is because I work really really hard. It doesn’t come easy to me at all. And I’m okay with that.

And yes I know Algebra 2 is not the hardest math, I don’t need to be told by the people on here who are in multivariable calculus, but it’s hard for me. And I dont think that I’m unintelligent because I find it a challenge.
