In such a way can I enjoy learning English alone, instead of feeling lonely and miserable

I'm an introvert, but learning English is fun.

"English (or any other foreign language) is just a tool for communication."
"Learning English opens an opportunity to communicate with billions of people."
These kinds of catch phrase haven't been motivation for learning, but have been my obsession.
However much I become able to understand written or spoken English, I have been unhappy about total lack of communication ability.

No matter what language I speak, I can't speak without assistance. Therefore there are few and limited range of people I'm able to talk with.
With that obsession, my incapability and limited range of talking with people was loss of opportunities which made me miserable.

On the other hand, when I'm in an activity I can be active and alone, such as bicycling or skiing, I find myself enjoying. I don't care much about the fact that I don't talk with anyone in such an activity.

In such a way can I enjoy learning English alone, instead of feeling lonely and miserable.

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.
