Jumping rope is harder than climbing stairs for exercise

At work I go upstairs to my workplace on the 8th floor from first floor for exercise when I take a break.

I often count my pulse rate after I climbed. Usually it takes 2 minutes 30 seconds to climb.

Usually it's between 30 to 33 in 15 seconds, that is 120 to 132 a minute.

Since today is a holiday I need to take exercise otherwise, I jumped rope.
I did for 2 minutes 30 seconds, and counted my pulse rate. It was 36 in 15 seconds, or 144 a minute.

It was surprising that jumping rope is harder than climbing stairs. Since I became good at jumping rope when I was in elementary school, I haven't been conscious about how hard jumping rope is - until recently, I need not think about the physical load of exercises I've been practiced.

Now I'm more conscious of the physical load, and this make me feel that my body has become weaker than ever before, probably because of aging and less amount of exercise.

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.
