First of all, that's quite the exaggeration which demonstrates a misunderstanding.
Secondly, initiating aggression (like the ingrates at ice district) is not what that means. It means speaking up and having boundaries when people are leaning on your car and touching you. Connor showed none there. That's the point.
You find the kindest way to tell them off that isn't provocative or escalating but is firm, and have the body language to match, instead of going into a fawn state. A mindful partner should be able to step into that space when it's called for. Otherwise they'll feel like the most unsafe person to be with if an actually dangerous situation arises... cause they'll just slump and duck away even if violated and leave you to your own devices.
