I regularly tough myself through things they can't conceive of, so when I say I can't, I REALLY mean it (and it's humiliating for me to admit!)
They can't seem to grasp that "being smart" doesn't overcome wiring.
(Exponentially so when overwhelmed, and immobilization sets in.)
It's exasperating beyond words!
