Has anyone felt so dumb and stupid?

I am told that I'm slow to analyze, that I'm not observant, I'm slow to get instructions and just slow and stupid... I often tend to screw things up. Some peeps in school have pointed out these faults in me too and I'm worried how I am going to carry on in my life with these things. I feel like an utter failure.

never felt like that in my entire life. perhaps you are a failure indeed. but I think stupidity brings more happiness than intelligence so I guess you are good to go.

@unknownpoetx Trust me it's horrible. It's the kind that makes you feel like you are never going anywhere... you're only good as stupid and that's just that. You are ridiculous and some really mean people will treat you for granted because of that.

... I can't see how intelligence makes you less happy :/

@introvertedbutterfly I understand what you mean. what I'm saying is that having knowledge about things in general doesn't give much happiness because you get worried. ignorance is bliss.
just because you are like that it doesn't mean you have to let those things happen. just protect yourself and live your life and just don't care so much about others.

People process things differently and learn differently. It doesn’t make you less Of a person. Is this happening at school or at work? Find ways to improve little by little. Find what you are good at and work with that.There are many people who struggle with dyslexia, learning disabilities etc.They dont mean a person is stupid. @introvertedbutterfly
