I Feel Disconnected

I do in fact at times you know, there will be times where I'll feel so hopeless on doing things because It's like at times I can't do somethings others are able to do maybe....driving I feel is kinda of one of them, I say this because I remember driving with an instructor for drivers Ed and what I noticed is that (P.S. I got the instructor everybody called strict) I felt everything they were telling me to do was to much to keep track of you know, and I obviously was not good at it at all. Not to mention I was very anxious so that could've also made it worse, but by the end I was not in a good mood and felt like crying. (They shouted at me lots tbh and I ain't good under pressure...) they ended up though calling me 'lifeless' and tbh it hurt and I just went home after (it was my final period of class) cried face down on my bed for a couple minutes, what they said hurt because also I believe that. thing is i do feel like I'm disconnected and am in my own little world....I am that guy that just doesn't talk much, is a loner, and is in my head a lot...and sometimes it just sucks

I do face this sometimes (although not nearly as frequently as before), but I managed to become a functional member of society nonetheless. I do feel it had a lot to do with me spending most of my life playing video-games and using the computer, while not doing household chores or anything physical frequently enough. Therefore, according to Gardner's Multiple Intelligences Theory, I may have this part of my intelligence underdeveloped , while in other areas I'd say it's quite the contrary.

Your case could also perhaps be explained by ADHD, or simply not working well under pressure (as you mentioned).

The important thing is reminding yourself of what you're good at, while patiently working on your shortcomings. Eventually you'll be considered very smart by doing great at what you like to do, while reaching an acceptable enough level of proficiency at what you used to suck at. Even if you do end up sucking at it forever, just brush it off. No one will remember you for being good at driving or cleaning the house anyway.
