I get where you're coming from and love your optimism. For me it's easy to be positive now, but there were times when I could barely speak and I even dropped out from college bc I couldn't communicate and developed huge social phobia, anxiety and depression. At that time it was like a disability and I wished I was somehow protected by law. But I wasn't. If people laughed at me then, it would crush me. So it's good to keep in mind we are not all in the same phase and state, and it's ok to have different boundaries.
