Cushionless swimming goggles are OK as long as you choose right size of the nose belt

This afternoon I tried my new swimming goggles. These are cushionless and mainly for racing purpose, according to manual.
I went to an indoor swimming pool nearby, as I usually do Saturday afternoon, but today with my new goggles.
My first impression was terrible. The sight through them was dark (because I had chosen the dark smoke color because it was reasonable then). In the first 25 meters I swam, water was let in the eyes through goggles. It seemed not to working for me.
Then I changed the nose belt of the goggles to one size smaller (its original size L). It ties two cups of goggles. I had changed one size larger, O, because when I tried it on right after I got them, the goggles with default L-size nose belt was felt too tight.
When I changed the nose belt back to its default size L, wore again, got into the pool and swam, no water was let in. No water was let in even after I swam 200 meters and tried a flip turn.
It looks like that cushionless swimming goggles are OK as long as you choose right size of the nose belt

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.
