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.

You’re not a failure, and you’re not what other people say you are.

If you have flaws or faults, you can fix them, but you also have strengths that you’ll never see if you focus on what others perceive as weaknesses.
