"I'm happy to understand you."

"I'm happy to understand you." This is a thing that describes a quite large part of my language learning, although I have not told this anyone yet.

I'm so introverted that there are some days I speak to hardly anyone even in my first language, and I speak English almost only to myself. 10 years ago, I was very sad about I have no choice but speaking to myself because I couldn't find anyone I can talk to.

My introverted nature hasn't much been changed, and even gotten worse in some respect. However my attitude has changed much through the 10 years, and I'm thinking that understanding someone else in a foreign language is a great thing and I'm gratified that I have acquired the ability to understand what someone try to tell us in English.

I'm happy to understand you. This is a start point to communicate if I have an opportunity some day later.

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.
