I found out that i'm actually really stupid?

What should I do now? At least I recognized it and am able to admit it. I am also trying to study more things to improve my logic. This is what confuses me. I've always been better than average in subjects that people consider you to be "smart" if you understand (programming, math, language, art, etc.). But I am actually very stupid when it comes to common sense. No, this is not just me putting myself down. People would agree with me if they knew how stupid i have been (some examples: crashed my car, been in an abusive relationship for 5 years). So anyway, I would like to redeem myself, as suicide is obviously not an option currently.
IIN?

    Crashing your car doesn't make you stupid.

    You’re really not stupid, you write very well. I’ve been trapped in an abusive relationship too (while I was studying at Oxford University), and it made me feel like I was being dumb too, because I was too scared to get away from my ex. Abusive relationships are very psychologically complicated, and there are a whole lot of reasons why leaving is incredibly difficult. Anyone who tells you you’re dumb for staying doesn’t understand.

    I have studied the psychology of abusive relationships, but nobody can understand what it’s like unless they’ve experienced it. I also do volunteer work helping and advising domestic abuse survivors, so *please* let me know if you’d like to talk, and I can send you my contact details.

    You're not stupid for staying in an abusive relationship. They're extremely difficult to leave because the scumbag slowly strips you of all your self-esteem and self-respect first. And he starts off doing it jokingly, so that if you dumped him for it straight away he'd mock you for being too sensitive. Anyone who says people are dumb for staying in an abusive relationship or for not ending it straight away don't know what they're talking about.

    I am guessing you are some corporate type person who works in an office? They tend to be pretty stupid. Just look at management in any company. They have book smarts but when it comes to common sense, they are genuine dumb asses.

    Also, just because someone is able to communicate does not mean they also have common sense. White collar types are often good at sounding smarter than what they really are.

    I am not sure how one would cure lack of common sense.

    Guessing this is a joke. You write/type well, good sentence structure, grammar, use of punctuation, and spelling. Stupid people usually struggle to communicate. You’ve communicated your argument well. You’re not stupid.

    First off, you’re not stupid, if you were you’re post would’ve been really hard to read and it wasn’t.

    Second off, bad things happen to everyone that doesn’t mean you’re stupid
