The purpose of this work was to analyze the empathy for the numbers of students of the Psychology career of the University Center of the Coast, University of Guadalajara. The sample consisted of 228 young people in school, aged between 21 and 24 years, of which 115 were men and 113 women. The results show that the students do not feel empathy for the numbers because they do not understand them, they are abstract and they get frustrated by not knowing how to perform the operations. This causes them to give up the initiative to learn math. It is concluded, therefore, that if this perception of frustration and fear is not changed when performing numerical operations, future graduates could miss the benefits that this knowledge offers in daily life.
