If you just ignore social slights, you may also start holding resentments against people who *didn't* mean any harm. A lot of autistic people have social problems for this reason too.

We may do or say something that someone perceives as intentionally rude or hurtful, but since they never directly address it, we don't get the chance to clarify or change our behavior. Instead, they think we dislike them.

Being up front about things is *useful*.
