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 also have this issue. In school I would just look down and feel awful but never said anything. Even as an adult the thought of confrontation brings me out in a cold sweat. Then I go over and over everything.

    When I do get the courage to argue my point, it sometimes comes across as overly emotional or aggressive as I get so frustrated.
