I have been studying math on my own for a couple of years, and I have noticed that I spend a lot of time going over the basics.

I really enjoy solving precalculus problems, but I tend to procrastinate when it comes to subjects like calculus, linear algebra, and other more advanced areas of mathematics.

Every time I study college-level math, I feel like I'm missing something, so I end up going back to basic geometry, algebra, or trigonometry. It's like I never feel ready to move on to more advanced topics.

It's frustrating because I know I love math, but I feel stuck. I would really like to change this habit and become more comfortable with challenging myself and moving forward.

Has anyone else ever felt this way? Do you have any advice?
