Okay so I'm pretty sure I'm dumb. Got my first job at a fast food restaurant and, long story short, all of my coworkers are talking shyt about me saying I'm dumb and i dont know what I'm doing. One of the cool coworkers told me this.

Been working there for around 4 months. I still have some questions about the register here and there and I might forget something simple every now and again but I don't think that calls for people being disrespectful like that. I'm nice to everyone there.

It's really bringing my confidence down and I'm actually starting to believe I'm stupid

we can call you "special" if it makes you feel better.

Some people just catch onto certain things faster than others. Doesn't mean you're 'dumb'; just means you gotta put in more effort and time to do those things more effectively

I know that sounds like an 'after school special' type answer, but it's true

And yeah, you're gonna have some ignorant people who will use it as an opportunity to clown you. Don't let it get you down. Some of those same people who make a big deal out of the fact that they're better/more talented at the job than you, are the same ones who are failing left and right in other areas, e.g. their personal life. You might be doing MUCH better than them outside the job, in many different ways.

That's just the way it is in workplaces. Despite being on the same team people are going to talk shyt instead of helping you. Hang in there, you'll get to the point where it's second nature if you're there long enough.

Just think of work as work. That's what I do at all my jobs. I'm there to make money, not to be bother by people that don't take their jobs seriously. Just ignore them. If they aren't in a position of power, fukk em seriously.

You sound like someone with not a lot of confidence. Not saying this to be disrespectful, just my experience with some people. A lot of times people who at first glance seem dumb or incompetent have really low self-esteem, or some sort of social anxiety. They are clumsy, easily flustered and they don't try very hard because they are always self-conscious.

Or maybe you have some sort of attention problem.

Or maybe people are just hating.:manny:

why do you care what other people think about you?

As long as your boss is happy...don't worry about what the haters have to say.
