I hate feeling this stupid when I don't think I am this stupid

Everybody is smart in different ways or have different IQs and that's fine. Where I learn now, I can clearly see I'm a different type of smart than the others and I hate it. Because the type of smart I isn't the type of smart I should be there, și I end up feeling stupid.
All I have to learn are things I'm not good at that others ace with ease and I have to work hours and cry because I don't understand what's in front of me and there's no one I can ask to help me understand.
I am in Highschool and I csnt stand school anymore, it's too broken for me. But I have to go to college and that only makes me want to not be here.

I am probably exaggerating but I am indeed writting this while feeling extremely sad.

Dude, you have the greatest learning tool ever, a computer. Check u-tube for tutorial vids, don't give up on the first one, different people have different ways of explaining things, just like we all have different ways of learning. You'll most likely come across someone that explains things in a way that "clicks" for you.

@UnderLockDown i sometimes do and it works but sometimes for example in math or so it explains it different or does something in a different way and then I get confused between the teacher's way and this way. I usually try to manage it as much as I can-

@jshm2 I can socialise, i have friends in class and it's not an issue for me. The reason I csnt ask for help from them or anyone is because no one around me that I know can help me. They either don't feel like doing their math homework because they're lazy so to ask them for help is useless cause they don't want to do it or even they have big issues with it and can barely understand it so they can barely explain to me. And the smarter ones in class are busy or I noticed get tired of me asking and my parents have no idea about the subjects I struggle with. It is NOT the social skills.
As for tutors, that also pains me in a different way, but it is an option.

I guess what you mean is though you are intelligent and brainy, you are forced to do some mundane work that doesn't provide opportunity to apply your intelligence

So why not switch to a job that is more suitable for you? Like you can be a tutor or baby sitter or assistant to a professional, or even be an assistant to an assistant to run errands.

You need to be creative and make interesting offers to people.

Just read your post. You "may" want to reassess the "I am not stupid" part.
