it seems like the people who like math the best are often also the people who are really good at it.
This doesn’t seem specific to math to me. I think it’s true of any activity where, if you’re bad at it, it’s really obvious to you that you’re bad at it. Based on a quick mental tally, it seems like activities that people can like while being bad at them (e.g. singing) are activities that don’t necessarily have this property.
