I don't appear to be "on the same wavelength" as my friends.
I can't retain information on certain subjects!! that is why i failed my exams.
i am deemed incompetent at most jobs i've worked in!!
people call me lazy all the time and i'm not i try really hard at what i do.
i'd love to be normal like everyone else is.
it is awkward and frustrating and gets me down sometimes and i feel like a failure. :(

You may not have a learning disability. You might just need to look at your problem differently.
You may be attempting to find an excuse for failing rather than continuing to work diligently to succeed.
As an example, not all great amateur athletes can perform satisfactorily at the professional level.
Only a few of the thousands of business majors will ever become CEO's of major companies.
That doesn't mean that they who failed to reach that pinnacle must resort to finding excuses rather than working hard at their own personal level of competence.
So, you should concentrate more on the journey to that unattainable goal rather than obsessing about the destination.
On the flip side, I see too many people become complacent and satisfied with a level that is well below their potential to achieve. That, to me, is inexcusable.
Remember, others don't define who you are. Don't listen to those false prophets who are predicting your demise.
You only have to satisfy one person. Yourself. Try to have faith that if you continue to try and work as hard as you can, things will turn around. You have your whole life to take that long and perilous journey to success. Get started.
Good luck.

you have mentioned only things that don't go well for you.
if all i ever saw or knew of a person was stuff that went wrong i would concluded that she or he is retarded.
in order for anyone to have any clue as to what is the matter or what isnt the matter with you we have to have more details. you could pick one example say math or one job and its tasks. then we might have a clue . we also need to know about the success you have had. dont say there isnt any you managed to turn on a computer go on the net and find this site write your question so there are some wires hooked up right .
we have to know about them or this is just a silly thing where people type lost of words of incoragement .

Yes, I would guess you have a processing disorder. The good news is you can do something about it. I am a neurofeedback provider and this is what I do. Find a good one in your area. Check them out, see if they really listen to you and answer your questions. If you find a good one, they can train your brain to work through it's glitches and therefore work through your processing disorders or any other learning disorder. It is really amazing to watch my patients as they progress and conquer. Do it today, why waste another day feeling like a failure as a human when it may only be a glitch in your processing that you can fix.

That question should be on file with the secondary or primary schools you graduated from. Call them up and ask. Or call up a guidance counselor, or anyone you might know in that school district, and ask how you can find out. If you find out, make sure you find out the truth. For learning disabilities, you want to know the truth, not some flimsy talk.

do u think that its possible that u really are lazy? i am lazy and it took years for me to admit it. all through school i hardly ever studied and recieved low or average grades and wondered why i was not smart like the other kids. maybe u r suffering from depression. its hard to look at ourselves and see where our own faults lie.

No, more likely you have perhaps a problem with brain chemistry. I'm sure a competent physician would take care of it.
