Anyone clumsy?

Post Reply New Topic

I am not srue if I made this post but I feel like I am one of the most clumsy person alive. I keep making mistakes around and I am always making the people that I work with mad at me. I am male and 17 with the ASD not sure where I am on that but I feel like I am just a screw up a lot. I don't seem to posses any talents or any kind of inerests becasue people keep on telling me that I am a "Epic Fail" I am not sure how that term came in and other students try to limit me when I do something they say "Oh I think that you can't do that and that you will not be good at this" or "Well there is no point in you doing this when you will fail this" and I also get people yelling at me every time I get a problem wrong and that they will have to fix the problem that I make and it is really annoying when they do that. They will say "Dude! This is so wrong here let me show you" and I would feel so insulted when someone helps me out. Is this just me when poeple tell me this? I am sorry for bad spelling my computer does not have a good spell check don't know how to turn that on.

I can think of two terrible examples of my own clumsiness that led to embarrassment and on one occasion, people were pissed at me thinking I did it on purpose but I swear it's my horrible clumsiness that's to blame.
Once I was cleaning my Aunt's house with a friend and she had this groovy looking ceramic toothbrush holder. For some reason, I was particularly jittery that day. Must have been because I was at my Aunt's and my friend was there. I was cleaning the sink and before I knew it the toothbrush holder was in the sink, broken. It had just slipped out of my hands and suddenly it was in the sink. It was like it was a slippery fish or something. I was mortified and felt terrible about that. That same day something fell behind the dryer and my friend and I struggled to get it. I kept saying "I can't believe these things always happen to me!"
I honestly feel like the clumsiest person alive.
Another time I was at a job answering phones. I have always been great at talking so people have put me to work answering phones. There was a pager and I had a drink next to me. Before I knew it, my arm hit it and it spilled. Some of it ended up in the pager and I was mortified yet again! Another employee fixed it by drying it with a hair dryer and I never put any drinks near the thing again.
They acted like I did it on purpose but it was my stupid clumsiness that was to blame.

Sometimes I have a lot of control over my body and movements, but others, especially when walking, I feel really out-of-control, like I can't feel my body, really; I also tend to bump into walls and such while doing this. So, sometimes clumsy in the sense of my gait. Also, when objects (including people) are quickly moving while I'm walking, I feel like I'm more prone than other people to just get overwhelmed and try to completely shield myself from any chance of bumping shoulders/arms/hands with anyone... ugh.
I don't really fall all that often, though.
