how do i be good at mathematatics?
By starting at some point where you are comfortable and doing slightly more and more difficult math. Keyword: doing. Reading about it it's not enough.
It's not like you're born knowing galois theory

Practice and don't bitch or assume its some "oh I'm just not good at math :(" genetic predisposition

Shut up.
You cannot even begin to comprehend the torturous existence one must suffer in order to begin to gain a basic understanding of the fundamental mathematical concepts used to build a foundation for learning how to begin understanding the most basic of basic mathematical concepts required to fail at getting a PhD in Mathematics.
I was born with the knowledge of every mathematical text ever written. I spent every waking moment for the next 30 years studying complex mathematical concepts such as Banach spaces, Banach topology, Banach rings, Banach fields, Banach vectors and Banach algebra. By the time I entered graduate school I had solved every unsolved problem in mathematics which existed up to that point and then discovered many more theorems which changed the foundation of our understanding of the universe. I then proceeded to drop out of graduate school after the first five minutes because my professor apparently thought that my life's work was mere child's play. His name was Banach.
