I was always curious is it a Aspie thing to take ourselves seriously at times or get offended and angry emotional right away? It’s not that serious but for example I was walking my dog and people were walking towards me, I picked him up because I didn’t know if they were going to cross or keep coming straight, and I am saying to myself are you going to go or make me stand here like a f****** jerk o**? Or perhaps it was a cultural thing they were from India dressed in clothing from there? I don't mean to stereotype but are some of them not ''approachable'' or ''uptight'' ? I ask becaused I nodded my head and she looked at me like I was from another planet, didn't seem like animal people either

The best thing to do in this situation is just walk past them, and be on your way. If they don’t see you, just evade them.

There’s no use getting into a fight over this.

How do you know if they didn't seem like animal people?

What the f**k is an animal person anyway.

I'm not particularly an animal person but I wouldn't have hurt your dog.

There are people of all nationalities and races who aren't approachable as well.

You didn't have a "run in" with anyone. It was your own prejudice that you had a "run in" with.
