so like the title says, I feel like i struggle abnormally with counting repetitive things. I always have to do a triple take because i think people have 6 fingers or toes when they only have 5. If a bunch of the same small thing (like candy or smthn idk) are scattered or even lined up on a table, I can’t come close to an accurate count without pointing at each one as I count. I can’t count numbers (especially zeroes) in a row without covering them as I go. it’s kinda weirding me out with how bad it is and I feel like this issue has been there since I was a kid. does anyone know what it could be? feel free to ask me any questions that could help :(((

note: I don’t think I have dyscalculia? But maybe I’m wrong, Reddit is strongly recommending I post this here so I’m giving it a shot
