Standing up to people

mouse2

Is it an autistic thing to find it so hard to stand up to people? If something happens I'll either be too scared to say something or not sure what's appropriate behaviour in said situation. After days or weeks of agonising I then am hard on myself for not saying or doing something

  • I think it is an Autistic thing. Not universal though.

    I'm scared of confronting someone about something in the fear the way I do it will be used against me. 

    I also really don't like confrontation. I think I want people to like me or I want peace and quiet more than most people.
