Maybe you can take a break, and do something else for a while, and then try again. It's frustrating when keep doing something and get the same results. The problem in modern societies is that they have standard way of life. They don't accommodate different people. They want people to conform. I suffer from attention problems, but not as severe as you described. By the way, I have the opposite challenge: for me math is easier than writing and reading literature. I prefer to deal with numbers than words!!

I know what you are saying about parents. My grandfather was tough on my father and uncles, so my father thinks he is nothing compared to him, and that we are fine. It makes me wonder sometimes why and how they managed surviving then, but I think the situation was different. The life was difficult, and when you need food, you don't pay much attention to feelings. They also compare me to others, saying why that person is doing fine and he/she is successful... etc. It annoys me when they do that, because I'm not like others.
