I'm a common-sense idiot. I've known it all my life but that fact has made me depressed this past year. I always have to fidget to find the most effective solution to everyday problems that I'm not used to doing. Like for example sometimes I'll try to open a plastic package with my teeth instead of grabbing a fucking knife. I cannot think quickly at all and if I attempt to, I panic and mess something up. I'm also a very simple slow learner and cannot improvise worth shit. Like if I use like for example a machine that I've never seen before I'll sheepishly get someone else to help me, and then realize how fucking easy to it was afterwards. I am complete shit at locating things, even if they're right in front of me, and I don't know why. Someone has to say, "It's right there," and I'll be like "Fuck, i didn't see it." Related I guess to this is my terrible sense of direction. I'm also unbelievably clumsy, and can't stop dropping/spilling things.

As a kid/teenager people have called me "smart," now i know they were lying to be nice, I'm a fucking retard.

Advice for these feels? I tried accepting these about myself, but it has just depressed me.

Common sense is also life experience. I was total common sense idiot until I moved out and got a job and payed bills. Now I'm basically Niccolo Machiavelli when it comes to having social awareness and common sense.

I kinda suffer from the same thing...
I think "common sense" to some degree comes from how you're feeling and your level of self esteem.
If i've been really depressed and introspective, I find it hard to do the simplest things like you say.
On the other hand I find that if im working hard on something, or if i've just finished a hard day of work (doesnt happen often) i'll have a pretty "dont give a fuck" kind of attitude when i finally relax, and these sorts of problems disappear.
