The title makes it quite obvious that the poster isn't enjoying deeply abstract concepts. To me that's what math is about at its core and is also what was appealing about it. There's nothing wrong with applying math or visualizing concepts etc but if you don't find joy in abstractness then math maybe just isn't for you. Also to bring "the state" into play as if this was a more recent trend math sadly got stuck in is BS obviously. And then "elitism" just because the poster doesn't grok it ... sorry, but you studied the wrong subject - it's as simple as that.
