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.

Some very intelligent people lack some skills that others take for granted. Find your strengths and build them up, and also find ways to compensate or supplement the weaknesses you find with friends or tools.

It could really just be that your friends are riding you hard and you feel anxiety when doing such things.
