Now keep in mind I do try to be optimistic when I make mistakes and I'm pretty aware that doing them just means that your learning and etc. It just irritates me because I feel like I mess up more than everyone around me. For example, today I was cleaning dishes and put away the ones that were in the dishwasher but my mom yelled at me because I didn't know that they weren't washed EVEN THOUGH some of them looked dirty and I cleaned most of them by hand. So, you might be thinking why would I think that they were washed if they were dirty? Well, when I see a dishwasher that's not turn on and loaded with dishes than I expect them to be washed already and sometimes the food crust or whatever the hell is on the dishes won't always come off even after being washed. I always feel like a retard when stuff like this happens. Although, I'm clearly not. I just lack common knowledge to help me do the simpliest things. It's like I never think things through or always make things seem more complicated than they really are. Does anyone else ever feel like this? Please, let me know.

    Well, I can tell by your writing, you're a very smart person. Maybe washing dishes is not for you?. I hate washing dishes, and when my wife helps me dry them she sometimes returns some that I missed a spot. And it makes me feel bad , but hey... I hate washing dishes!!. So I do my best. Don't feel bad!. Think of something that you're very good at instead.

    Depending on how old you are, its normal. My teenage son does this - he is 15. He always asks if the dishes are dirty or clean - my response is always, look at the inside of the dishwasher itself if it is dirty, the dishes are. Its all about looking at the details my friend. Pay attention to the little things, and remember when something doesnt seem right, it isnt - trust that.
    For example: have you ever been cleaning a room and asked yourself "I wonder how the windows get cleaned" well, unfortunately the answer is always someone has to clean them. Your mother will never assume you would clean windows probably, but if you did you would suprise her. Think about the small details, like the baseboards, or going on your hands and knees to clean around the base of the toilet - as you get older you will notice these things too. :)
    You'll be fine, so long as you try, its just a part of growing up.
