Oh, OK. I understand what you mean now. :)

Lack of planning

Lack of discrimination of interests (Most should know what they like generally by 16)

Because they want to make an impact and be part of something.

...there's no need to stereotype all NTs in a negative context; I know lots of NTs that are similar to myself, and ones that are for sure NOT immature, mean or insecure about themselves...or follow trends!


I definitely agree with this. I know a lot of NT's who aren't so different from myself.

They all seem like a bunch of primitive idiots who revolve around their social life and don't care about anything else.

I don't understand why they get so interested in stupid TV programmes like The Only Way Is Essex even less than cool stuff like science.

I also don't understand why they lie so much, saying they'll do something and then not do it.

And why they judge people so quickly.

And how they make friends so easily and talk to/know so many people.

How they can like a wide range of things (e.g. they can like movies AND football AND painting their nails AND going skiing etc..) without getting bored of some of them. Also with food e.g. they could eat a croissant for breakfast one day, toast the next, then cereal the next, fruit the day after that, a cereal bar the next day - it's so random!

How they find small talk so easy. I wish I could master small talk.

Why they are offended so easily

I could go on forever... but yeah. NTs = confusing!

NTs need to realise that everyone lies, and everyone acts different to different people.
NTs need to realise that in an argument based around a large dichotomy in view, both parties will claim to be the underdog.
This will make things much easier on us Aspies >.<

Why they love their bleeding social scene so much. Why they can't be content for one afternoon not going out to the mall or the movies or the club and getting themselves into some kind of mischief. Seriously, I suggest a night in to pretty much any of my friends, and they laugh like I've told some hilarious joke, right before refocusing on their conversation for "what they're going to do this evening".

The whole dating scene is something that really throws me for a loop too; they make it look so easy, just go up to a guy they like and start flirting with him. I don't even know HOW to flirt! Also, once they get a guy, how come they're always talking crap about him behind his back, saying they wish he'd change, but never getting out/doing anything about it, like they crave the drama of a sucky relationship somehow. Makes. No. Sense.

Gah, and the whole "it's all about sex" thing drives me crazy! I have two friends who, by themselves are fine, but when they get together it's literally all they talk about! Every time I say something it's given some sort of sexual innuendo, which I don't typically understand, so they'll then take great delight in treating me like I'm five because I'm not caught up on the lingo, and then proceed to explain to me, in graphic detail, what what they just said meant, and then laugh hysterically when I grimace and call them gross.

Why they call each other to chat within 2hours after they see each other

Why some seem to think it's okay to just link any sort of flaw someone has to a disability. People are going to have flaws no matter what, and this includes them. And some disabilities have nothing to do with a person's flaws.

Ditto: My issue isnt so much an issue with flirting but I simply wouldent understand how a date works or a relationship. Conversationally I dont understand gossip. Confessionally I talk about sex alot but only in a humuorous manner

Yeah I understand your frustrtion, I dont understand how relationships work, though apparently im pretty flirty. Admittedly I like to make jokes about sexual innuendo and laugh but I dont understand the obsession. I also hate the weirded out expression they give when I say im a fan of My Little Pony:Friendship is Magic

I agree with those two ^

I also don't understand how some NT don't care about their grades, they laugh when they get a fail. I just don't get how they're so dumb but liked so much by people.

And dating, boy I don't get that one bit. How do they do that flirting thing and I don't get how they can be "in love" after a month or something.

It just makes no sense to me and the fact NTs often take pleasure at someone else's expense I will NEVER understand.
