"nobody should ever encourage or nudge anyone else to step outside their comfort zone! Everyone should always be able to do whatever they want without ever being even confronted with other options!"

No, that's not it. Sometimes it feels like it's a push from people to be more "normal" so that we are more "acceptable". Why should we have to be more like something we're not? It's fine if you are comfortable with it, but if you're not, why not work on things that give you confidence instead of things that take your confidence in yourself away? It's not for people who aren't very close or who don't know the situation very well. Because you know what the other thing is? When people keep asking the same thing all the time because they feel like they can, or should. Some questions are fine, but all too often (sadly, and weirdly, often in shops) they take a really frustrating turn.

That's not it in it's entirety too, I would need to write you an essay to explain the different sides of it.

[And for the record, I'm not Deaf (as I said above, I have basic ASL skills that I've been working on the past couple yars), but I have a genetic mutation (mwahaha, I am a mutant, but a crappy one) that has caused me to have spasticity in my muscles (and shit balance), so sometimes I can understand about the annoyingness of certain types of questions, and people wanting you to be more "mainstream" to make them more comfortable, and not what will work best for you]


TL;DR: So I guess the overall lesson is people can be different and not want to be like everyone else, and that is okay. But if they want to be more like everyone else that is okay. But if they don't want it? It should not be pushed upon them. And it definitely shouldn't be pushed upon them by people who are not very close to them, and who do not fully understand what the situation entails, because then they rarely have said persons best interests at heart.

This, exactly. I have some limiting health problems myself, so the way that storyline was handled so badly hit me hard.
