Worried, scared and jumping when coping with email when I was in university

I send several emails at work and privately.

I sometimes spend some time worrying if I'm mistaking recipients or contents are inappropriate.

Finally I send anyway, because I can't afford to worry for ever.
Just now I sent an email to confirm an appointment, because I needed the time to sleep.
I had been worried about the content of the mail (and the content of today's blog topic -this post-)

When I was in university it took unbelievable time to send even a mail.
I even spent all night in front of a computer in the computer room.
I spent most time in worrying. I could think about what the recipient feel if he or she would receive it and wouldn't. Sending anyway was far better than not sending at all, if the content was not completely inappropriate.
I didn't know then, because there are few chances to receive emails, and if ever in a computer class, I was extremely scared, so scared that I couldn't help jumping.

Although, sending email is somehow stressful even now, I've gotten used to do. I sometimes think how many times and how high I could have jumped then if I had had to send emails at today's pace.

Even now, while I'm thinking that standard social skills in business scenes is worth learning, I scream to myself getting mad when I learn them.  Isn't just shaving my beards enough to be a salesperson? Am I going to be disadvantaged forever because the skin of my face and my head is too dry? This is one reason why I thought that I wanted to escape my country when I was 11 and 25. This made me learn some foreign language. However, I'm learning that overseas isn't so good as I dream about, especially as long as I go to public school. W...

It's my lack of confidence that is to be beaten

Autism, is it something to be removed? Or is it just another type of human being? I can't answer to this question. I, as you see, have language, and have a job. Although my struggles are real as well, I hear that there are a lot of cases of struggles many thousand times than mine. Ones who don't have language, or with serious behavioral problem. Although my behavioral problems, mainly social awkwardness, I can't answer the question whether autism is something that should be beaten. Instead, I can answer one question. I have to beat my lack of confidence through long struggles, if I want to succeed.
