Hi there,
It is understable that as a child you could not deal with situations when you were teased you felt different wearing specs but now as s grown up your peers also might have matured to understand it's a medical condition and not a choice.
It would be good if you now focus on various positive qualities that you have and your strengths and often talk, express n highlight in group situations. E.g your intelligence, honesty, hard work, good judgement, other hobbies n achievements.
This would increase your self esteem and social confidence gradually.
Good luck

I think it is the fear of rejection of ur perspective about others is the reason behind this behaviour.
You can definitely come out of this with a professional guidance.
Next Steps
Do consult a psychologist and lead a cheerful life ahead.
