Don't understand things

Post Reply New Topic

I have learning problems and i can't do things and it depresses me. When people talk to me i don't understand them and they use big words i don't understand and i have too much anxiety to tell them i don't understand so i fake smile and go along with them without talking much and eventually people move away from me. I can't even talk to people on the phone such as something about my bank account i have to ask them if they could talk to a family member and then my family member straightens it out. Does anyone else go through this? I can't follow directions like putting my kids toys together for instance or getting my Gps to work i have to be shown how to do it and even after that i forget.

I can relate and I also feel stupid for it and low IQ.

I have problems attuning to speech, using the phone, and yes, I pretend to understand all the time! My mom takes care of a lot of things for me.
