Is Anyone Else Completely Non-functional?

Question

I have to preface this with the fact that. please read this all. while im not low iq i'm effectively intellectually disabled. my iq is within a normal range if you consider my sex and race and country of birth. but. !!!i promise i'm not like some people who come into this!! community: because my intellectual functions are still impaired to the point i can't function. and idk where else to talk about this. so i hope you'll forgive me but i think you will. because there really is no diference between us

by this i mean. i cannot leave my house. in fact i have not left my room besides to urinate and defaecate for months. i am functionally illiterate; i have to reread sentences 3-6 times before i can understand them and often paragraphs or sentences just mean nothing at all to me and i cannot decode them (the same goes for audible dialogue). thus reading or talking to people isn't possible or enjoyable for me. because i am not able to think up sentences or replies on the spot either let alone understand them. i am completely ineducable. i am not capable of retaining any information as my memory is poor. i cannot remember just one sentence. i left school when i was 14. i have not showered or brushed my teeth for over a year. i cannot make myself food. not even things like canned food or noodles. i neglect to attend to them and i have nearly burnt my house down before. i do not have any skills whatsoever and i do nothing all day because i am not able to perform any task or activity. and it is not so fun of a life. because there are things that i'd like to be able to do like play video-games or read or learn a language or i'd like to learn about a subject that interests me or i'd like to be able to draw or cultivate an aesthetic and identity or i'd like to go on walks or i'd like to have friends and talk to them but i'm not able to attain any of that and never will be able to because my biology is inferior. and each day i rot and i am brought closer to my death.

ok so i put. the question to you. are you completely non-functional like me. i hope you aren't but i also hope you are because i do not feel well and i wish there were people like me. thank you
