Sometimes I feel literally retarded, like I can’t perform basic tasks that I should be able to do. I never know if I’m doing anything right, like today for the first time in my life I had to go to a laundromat and I felt like I was doing something wrong the whole time. I always feel like I learn basic things slower than other people.
Is this a sign of low IQ? Sometimes when people give me a bunch of directions it feels like there’s a lot of pressure within my head and I start to blank out and can never follow the directions. Like yesterday at a drive thru the lady told me to pull up and go to a specific location, it felt like it took me much longer than it should to find that location.
Again, are these signs of low IQ? Or just anxiety or something? Or am I just too hard on myself?

Probably comes from a very high degree of self-consciousness and self-doubt. This is how I assess my own struggle with what you've explained. However, I think a low IQ/mental handicap would preclude being able to be self-conscious or have self-doubt, for whatever that's worth.
My psychiatrist unironically thinks I have a psychosis because of my garbage childhood.
But maybe your child hood was fine and it is what the others said.
But still, I can fucking relate OP, I used to be pretty smart, now I am a literal retard who constantly rechecks and reassures every single thing.
