How do I accept being stupid?

I'm trying to accept the reality that I'm a stupid person who isn't going to be able to make something of herself. From childhood to now people have told me how stupid I am, how I can't do anything right, how I'm a slow learner, etc. I believed it then and I have to believe it now. I can't learn things normally. My husband isn't happy with me because of this and lets me know all the time that I can't stop messing up. I can't cook without shit burning and him being unhappy with it. I don't know he puts up with me. I hate learning new skills because I can't learn them and I frustrate myself and whoever has to teach me. I hate it because it's true. I'm incompetent at my job despite it being an easy one. Sometimes I think I have brain damage or something. I'm worried my child will develop a negative image of herself because of how I view myself and failure but I can't help it. I try hard to overcome it but I can't learn faster or get better at stuff.

All the comments are just telling her that not only she isn't stupid, but that stupidty doesn't exist and she has ADHD. I would make this an effort post and link specific comments but it would be unreadable because they're all multiple paragraphs long

lol I don't have that problem. In fact, I can't take ten steps without someone mentioning how clever I am. I'm multilingual, listen to 20th century classical music in my spare time, and have read three books so far this year. I'm also six foot one and have a sick jawline

In the time before time (pre-dino) there were these 'things' that would eventually evolve into trees. These proto-trees would grow to massive heights and then topple into huge piles of proto-lumber because at the time, nothing could break down the lignin in their cell walls. Being plants, they also produced a shitload of oxygen, so massive firestorms were common, but not enough to destroy these mile-high woodpiles.

Eventually a fungus (progenitor of almost all modern fungi) mutated and produced an enzyme that could break down the lignin in these "trees" giving it a food source and creating byproducts that could feed various other species of plant. The massive piles of lumber were broken down over millions of years, clearing space and giving rise to a diverse host of new flora.

I'm dangerously clever, but about some specific aspects of life I can be incredibly r-slurred. For example, you'll never believe how long it took to figure out that my ex-wife was cheating on me, I'm still beating myself up over that one. Should have figured it out a lot sooner. My point is we all have shit we're dumb about.

The good news for you is that career advancement in our modern society isn't based on intelligence, it's based largely on networking. I'm trying to change that but until I get results you might as well exploit the broken system.

The Great Oracle said Socrates was the wisest man alive.

Socrates said this was strange because he knew very little.

The Oracle told Socrates that recognition of this fact is exactly what made him the wisest man.

You can tell the OP is a neofoid because XX chromosomes simply cannot coexist with self reflection like that.
