I could never understand the proof allergy. To be honest I find it was easier for me to perform well in proof based classes rather than “here’s an algorithm, apply it” type. The main reason was that it was harder for me to make mistakes while constructing a proof in comparison to applying an algorithm and making calculations by hand.

I acknowledge high schools are notorious in omitting the introduction to proof techniques but it’s a one time hurdle and you end up with a good stuff in your toolbox.
