Don't be like that.
Math is fun.... and this is a simple geometry problem.
Many kids are feeling like you, simply because of this generalized social repulsion towards math... don't add to the problem, be part of the solution!

Try.... as with many other things, you will fail, at first... try again and again... eventually, it becomes second nature.
Pass that on to your kids and friends...
