i dont think many people envy others, in turkish we have a saying:
they posted minds for sale in the market and every one purchased his.

Captain Sir Richard Francis Burton - explorer, diplomat, author - spoke 23 languages and numerous dialects (starred in To Our Scattered Bodies Go). Wrote numerous books, translated 1,001 Arabian Nights, and others, even wrote poetry. Actually visited Brigham Young (The City of Saints, learning Sioux along the way. Tried convince B.Y. that he wanted to convert to Mormonism but B.Y. had many of his books so he was not fooled.
Is probably one of the top 5 most biographied people in English.

Math is about conceptualizing, if you are seeking for reality or truth, you tend to visualize things in their correct nature, this makes understanding math difficult. For the sake of conceptualizing, forget about what in reality math matches to and just absractly conceptualize the concepts of math. If you like philosopy of religion, you are likely to be a person who is after truth, that, at the begginning, makes understanding math difficult, for it is a modeling language of concepts but not concrete reality. Once you leave your stubborness against the search for the truth thing or seeing the concrete implementations or references in Math, you will be good at it. That was what happened to me when i was in middle school, after a year i became very good at math out of the worst person in the class.
Create your own abstract way of converting math language. it will help you have a framework and reusable thinking units in your brain. Then you will use these little units to understand big concepts. And any new concept will require compilation of the knowledge to your own set of thinking instructions.
