The Humbling Experience of Being Dysfunctional

I can honestly say that I've made this mistake so many times, I've lost count. Every time I catch myself doing it, I'm like, "What's wrong with me? Why can't I even get my shirt on right?" And then it hits me - the shirt is on backwards because I put it on quickly without checking. It's a simple mistake that anyone can make, but somehow it becomes a source of frustration for me.

I have to admit that this isn't just a one-time thing. As a child, I used to do this all the time. I would put my shoes on the wrong feet and even wear my shirt backwards when going downstairs to go to school. My mom would always say, "What's wrong with you?" and it stung because I knew I was being careless. It wasn't until later that I realized it wasn't just me being careless; it was a neurological issue that affected my brain's ability to process spatial information.

Even now as an adult, I still struggle with this. Sometimes when someone asks me to turn left or right, I'll actually do the opposite. It's not because I'm intentionally trying to be confusing or annoying; it's just that my brain struggles to make the connection. Sometimes I'll get slightly dyslexic and mess up phone numbers or names. It's these small things that can cause frustration, especially when someone is looking at me expectantly waiting for me to input their information correctly.

I have to admit that it's frustrating because it's something so simple. Typing a phone number shouldn't be a challenge, but somehow it becomes one for me. I'll be sitting there staring at the screen, trying to focus, and my mind will wander off course. I'll start over multiple times, and each time I get flustered and feel like I'm failing. It's moments like these that make me want to pull my hair out.

One of the most annoying things is when people judge me for this. They think it's just a silly mistake or that I'm being careless. But they don't understand what it's like to have a brain that struggles with spatial information. They can't see the internal battle going on in my mind, trying to make the correct connection.

That's why I want to encourage everyone out there who may be struggling with similar issues to speak up. Don't be afraid to admit when you're struggling or making mistakes. It's okay to not have everything figured out all the time. And if someone is judging you for it, just remember that they don't know what they're going through.

So, I want to leave a call to action here. If you're like me and struggle with something that makes you feel frustrated or embarrassed, please comment below. Let's talk about it and support each other. We may not have all the answers, but together we can navigate these challenges and come out stronger on the other side.

As for this video, I have to admit that it wasn't originally supposed to be a "Day in the Life" episode or whatever I turned it into when I realized my shirt was on backwards. But sometimes life takes unexpected turns, and you just have to roll with it. Who knows what's next? Maybe I'll start playing Brain Age to improve my brain function. Or maybe I'll go back to school for a refresher course on spatial information. Only time will tell.

For now, let's focus on supporting each other through the ups and downs of life. We may not have it all figured out, but together we can figure it out.

"WEBVTTKind: captionsLanguage: enI can't even tell you how many times I've done this to myself I I look down I'm like the shirt's feeling a little weird what's wrong oh that's because it's on backwards I ran over really quick to change my shirt cuz I didn't like the one I had and guess what well didn't put it on right the worst part about all this I actually used to do this all the time when I was little not only that I would put my shoes on the wrong feet I would put my shirt on backwards i' come downstairs to go to school and my mom would be like just seeing what is wrong with you still to this day I don't know my left and right somebody puts me on the spot and they're like hey turn left I turn right every once in a while I'll actually turn the correct way and it's not because I don't know my left and right like I have to really focus this one makes the L this one does not make a not sometimes I'm slightly dyslexic when I'm putting in phone number sometimes with letters I screw things like that up all the time and it's so frustrating because it's the simplest things typing somebody's phone number I just get all flustered and I'm looking at my phone and they're looking at me and I'm putting it in I'm like I'm sorry can you say that just just one more time four five six four but what was I'm sorry what was the last two and they just look at me and finally it just ends up to the point where I just give the person my phone I'm like can you just put your phone number in here it happens with names too it sucks the annoying thing is is I don't really think there's anything that I can really do to fix that I am a grown adult at this point if I can't figure out my left and right on the spot it's not going to happen it only goes downhill from here guys downhill from here oh yeah yeah maybe I'll go back to school maybe I'll start playing Brain Age no my brain age ends up being negative it's like you're a fetus so congratulations I know I'm not alone I know I am not because I know there's probably some of you guys out there who have the same problem can't help it and then people judge I know I've said this before but you should never judge anybody because you don't know what they're going through what they're doing or what something something might not be right anyway I'm wondering if you guys have any of these weird quirks or things that you try to work through and that you just successfully can't do it and to ensure that you're not alone let's leave all those comments below so that we can all talk it out and know that we have each other and that's all that we need is each other that's not even a real song I don't think this was actually originally supposed to be an as guy Day episode until I turned my shirt around on the inside and it turned into whatever this video happened to be I don't even know I'll see you later byeI can't even tell you how many times I've done this to myself I I look down I'm like the shirt's feeling a little
