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

This gotta be some sort of learned response, she's being r-slurred on purpose. I have a brother who is actually mentally disabled, like the dude is a certified sub 70 iq, nice guy but you notice that he doesn't think like a normal adult when you talk to thim.

He still manages to cook without burning shit and go through life performing every day tasks perfectly fine though. This is just foid nonsense.

There's two kinds of r-slurred people. The ones that make a gimmick out of it and become "that r-slurred guy" on social media, and those who are normal. The latter do everything in their power to not become special in any way, thus they function normally mostly. :marseyshrug:
