They spend years learning about problems to look for and so want to be seen as excellent at their jobs. My 7th grade math teacher told my parents I probably wouldn’t graduate high school. I have 4 upper level degrees. But I am still phobic about math of any sort. People can be really blind beyond their supposed knowledge.
I’m glad you had your mother to advocate for you.
