Scenario: It's night, and a man is walking home. He sees ahead there is a woman going in the opposite direction as him. Knowing not to stop or approach her, but his presence makes her nervous. What would help further in this scenario if anything?

Thank you. I'm legitimately curious how to ease tensions some in such a situation. Was hoping this would be taken a bit more seriously but apparently not many did.

    Yea it's hard to comprehend for normal people that "act natural" doesn't help someone like me an you, because "natural" isn't the norm in my case at least...

    Social anxiety, potential neuro-diverget I don't have a "normal" to base things on like some people do I agree. As well not every person is the same so some I imagine would be fine me just casually saying hello and acknowledging they exist while others want me to just walk on.
