I have always felt like I was the only one feeling this way. Thank you for sharing your thoughts. I have worked in Administration/Bookkeeping for 14 years and have had about 40 jobs, some which I have been fired from for making mistakes. Even though I am depressed I don't consider myself a stupid person, as I tend to have a lot more insight in things than many of my co-workers and other people I associate with. It doesn't negate the fact though, that when I do make mistakes people just automatically label me stupid, without taking anything else into context. I find this really frustrating which facilitates my hatred for people, and induces isolation. I suspect there are many more people who feel a level of inadequacy and anxiousness, however are too afraid to admit it. Often those who are quick to judge others are the insecure and vulnerable.
