That's what I tell people around me. Studying math is hard because it makes you feel stupid. You always feel lost, you always feel like you missed so many things when you're starting to learn a new thing, you always feel like your questions are stupid (until you get that the rest of the class is pointless as well).

Especially with talented professors (Lyon 1, France, the professors there are not really good educators, but they are geniuses), they make you feel bad for not understanding things that seem so simple to them.

Studying math is depressive if you take it too seriously.
