I'm super slow at EVERYTHING and when I ask for help, I get turned down. The world is running right passed me and they don't want me to slow them down, so all I can really say is, "Don't let me interfere with your life." I hate asking for help and would love to do things for myself, but I didn't have that luxury while growing up to learn. Those I've ask told me it was no big deal, so I shouldn't worry, so they did it for me. I've always resented that, because now, as an adult, I don't have the know-how and I'm judge, criticised and made fun of. Just one day without, "How do I do this?," "This doesn't make any sense to me," and "Someone please explain this - in simple English." If I can't run alongside everyone, I'm the one who's missing out, as if it were by choice. To be clear on what I need help with, just pick any topic; it doesn't matter what subject. I even get, "If we don't know what the problem is, how can we help?" If I knew that, chances are higher that I could do it.

I appreciate the small things as well as those few skills I do. But why am I being deprived of learning the needs that will moving along with life and not the sidelines, smelling the roses. I ask people, politely, "I tried to do this on my own, but I just don't understand it. Could you please help?" I get "I don't know how to help."
I have so much potentals, yet they're being wasted, because I don't know how to do it.

I'm getting really tired of explaining myself and still have the same responses of "What's your question?" or "I don't understand your question."

It all comes down to people don't understand how some of us have a difficult time learning. It's not one thing I'm struggling with. It's an ongoing problem, every single day. People would much prefer asking someone who can help than the one who doesn't understand, but wants to.
Don't compare me to those who are physically disabled. They have their brains to figure out how to compromise. How does a learning impaired figure out how to get around it?

You will find a large percentage of people on yahoo answers have massive insecurity problems and will make fun of any question no matter what it is. these are the sort of people that will run their car into the back of you and tell you it was your fault because you braked too hard. the US school system has a lot to blame with its hostile enviroment of bullying and everyone trying to be a "somebody". On yahoos they make themselves out to be "somebodies" by making fun of every idea. they are just morons; bullies that pick on those that cant defend themselves, tucked away behind their computers because no one in the real world would give them the time of day, and they would be too gutless to tell you in person.

Ahhh, don't feel so bad. That ain't the half of it even. All through the race, and especially at the front, they are chomping at the bit, and getting whipped as well. There's a little man on their back, whispering into their ear and urging them on. When the race is finally over, even some of the best ones end up at the glue factory. And like Roy Rogers' horse, a lot of us don't get mounted till it's all over.

I see you're a level 3, with 12% best answers, so you can't be half bad yourself!

Life isn't a horserace, my friend. It is a marathon. Live it as if it were and you will have the luxury of stopping to smell the roses and to appreciate your existence, which a life in a horse-race does not permit. Those around you who are living with greater speed will surely regret it on their death bed!

When you come to the edge of all the light you know,
and are about to step off into the darkness of the unknown,
faith is knowing one of two things will happen:
There will be something solid to stand on,
or you will be taught how to fly.

I'm sorry. If you ask someone for help and they want to do whatever it is for you just tell them "Thankyou, but it would really help me out if you could help me do (blank) then next time I need to do this I will be able to do it on my own"
