Anyone feel stupid?

Post Reply New Topic

I read and study, but just don't seem to have a good memory, and I can't articulate well my opinions on anything, I always blanked when talking to women, just didn't know what to say, I'm very uncoordinated, I stunk working on things like cars and so on, , and it was \always hard for me to follow instructions from people when working on thingslike that and my parents and grandparents would get mad at me because of those struggles!! ! and I had trouble keeping jobs like working in a grocery store because I wasn't very competent. at the jobs even though I tried the best I could. Anyone else feel stupid like I do

Mate, as an autistic person you're in for a rough ride, but don't let that get you down.

Do what needs to be done. You'll make it eventually.

I feel stupid because I'm TOO good at working on cars. That's a lot of freaking license points!

Sometimes I feel stupid and upbeat in a more general sense, like when it takes decades to meet someone nerdier than I about a given subject.

I like feeling stupid. Feeling smart means everything is easy, and this means you're solving the wrong problem. Also, when I feel smart, I'm probably being a smartass.

We evolved into our apprehension for good reason...

Yeah...I feel stupid.

People want to play games with you....and you go along for the ride.

There are times when a STRONG "ignore" is indicated.

I feel stupid when I'm around my dad or brother, they also both have AS, but they are so much more passionate about learning that it blows my mind. Both taught themselves how to build their own computers and install, fix, or even develop programs...etc

I cant absorb information like that and I don't have any special interests to even motivate me to do so but I also do a lot better in social situations so we all struggle in our own ways.

Even with things I'm good at, I'd feel stupid if I was being watched, or potentially watched, I end up rushing it and doing it all wrong.

its weird, I know I'm autistic cause I was diagnosed and of course have multiple symptoms, but can't focus well, I seem to have ADD type symptoms as well, its so depressing, makes me despair of life sometimes but I have to keep going you know!!

Yes, often!

Its weird, frustrating, and sad at the same time!! Its like I got all the bad sides of being autistic, but NONE OF THE BENEFITS OF AUTISM!! !

I often feel stupid. Especially when I get object-blindness, entirely missing an object that is right in front of me. When people yell ''it's right in front of you!!'', it makes me feel even more silly, and the way people yell at me imply that I am stupid.

Also I feel stupid when I'm in standing in an awkward place, where I'm in the way. Like once when I met my boyfriend after his shift, and he had to go to his locker to get something and sort something out. I'd never been in there before, and it was a very small, enclosed lobby. So I stood in a sensible place (not in the middle of the doorway), and suddenly there were his colleagues coming in, looking rather impatient and eager to get their stuff and go home. My boyfriend was taking ages, and I was feeling more awkward standing there. Then he said, ''go and wait outside'' in a flustered voice, so I had to step past these strangers and go and wait outside. I felt annoyed at myself after that, and wished I had just waited outside in the beginning. I often have these moments where I'm standing in the wrong place at the wrong time.
