Being aggressive and being assertive are two different things. Each behavior has its place. I employ both at the appropriate times BUT if either behavior will compromise my values or boundaries I have to rethink my "nice guy" attitude. Respect yourself also!

I feel reserved. This mainly stems from my autism, and I feel uncomfortable about trying to take the initiative and talk to girls.

I'm a high-functioning autistic, 67 years-old, white, and male. One of the biggest issues we run into is the new push activism, where some demographic groups "lean into" their identity, in order to "expose and challenge" whatever they oppose. Much of that activism is non-verbal bullying. Since we are autistic, we don't detect the non-verbal challenge and fail the activist's test. And, the autism industry throws us under the bus.

What about the feminist position, "the phrase 'I was just trying to be a nice guy,' is not an excuse, it's an admission of guilt"?
