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.
I know exactly how you feel, it sucks when those "simple" things don't click and people get irritated with you and it hurts because you can't help it.
I get that "object blindness" all the time. One year when I was younger I had my eyes on this bmx bike for so long and kept begging my parents for it. Then my birthday came around and they asked me to get something on top the freezer in the garage. Well that bike I wanted so desperately was leaning against the freezer and they were trying to surprise me. I went back inside like three times and was like "where is it, I don't see what your talking about"....they totally were trying to surprise me and it failed miserably I felt so ashamed. How do I miss everything right in front of my face all the time?
