I managed until university when I left calculus and entered "Linear Algebra" and man, I really don't like matrices.

I made it through. My degree is actually in math. 15 years ago, I used to know what an abelian group is!

I found linear algebra super hard until I learned it a second and then third time, from different angles. I found it harder to understand when it was taught in a pure maths context, but coming at it from the applied side made me go "oh, so that's why that's like that"
