Why do so many people hate or have trouble with math? Your input is needed!

I'm starting to relearn math on my own (I'm taking a year off before
college), and I'm planning to write an introduction to learning math on
my blog. To get some ideas, I'd like to hear your answers to any or all
of the following questions:

Why do so many people hate math?

Why do they have trouble understanding it?

What are your experiences with learning math (at school, on your own,
etc.)?

Do you enjoy math? If so, why?

How could teachers and students make math more fun to learn?

Thanks in advance for your feedback! Also, if you have any suggestions
for how I should go about relearning math, please share them. Any
useful websites or books would also be greatly appreciated.
