The problem is that you weren't challenged enough early, so when it actually got difficult, you didn't have the mental tools to deal with having to struggle with a subject.
People who are used to having to do extra work, and get extra help, tend to do better when they're confronted with things they can't do immediately. They don't think there is anything wrong with them, and they know that they're capable of getting it in the long run if they work at it.
