 True story btw
When I was in the fifth grade we had a guest speaker or something showing us how to do multiplication
We'd already learned how, but I realized after being taught again that I'd been doing it wrong, probably for days, but maybe weeks I don't remember
The thought of doing something wrong for so long deeply upset me and I started crying in the middle of the class and had a breakdown. Had to go to the school counselor to calm down
