Exactly how I feel. :) and calling each other gay. :S

Another thing I don't understand is why NT girls discuss their periods so openly. I thought that stuff was supposed to be kept to yourself, unless there was a problem with it? IDK, it's just gross.

Why do they care so much about prom?


FINALLY! I am tired of being the only one with that opinion. I asked some of my NT friends why its a big deal and its either "its just an important moment in your high school life" or "we don't get another chance to do this" or some other weird reason. I tell them that I don't see the point and that I think its just another school dance just a tiny bit more expensive and it WAY over hyped and over glorified. And they look at me like I'm stupid. I know I'm saying a lot but I am so glad I'm not the only one. You, my friend, have just restored some of my faith in humanity. :)


"why do people have to go to the prom and have fun for... god ive lost my faith in humanity" - you

get off your high horse lmao

I thought of yet ANOTHER thing people at school do that annoys me and I just don't understand. I've been asked many times "Do you like someone in this school?" and truthfully I answer "No" but they say "Oh come on, you've GOT to like someone, stop lying" and just won't take no for an answer. I have a very particular taste in guys, and I'm not attracted to any of them at school (except for maybe one... but I never associate with him so it's probably impossible). I DO like someone, he just doesn't go to the same school as me!

Oh, and I agree on the prom thing (though in Australia we call them "formals") because it's just too expensive and the music they play is awful. And I really hate the expectations that come with it... having to look glamorous in an ugly, uncomfortable dress because "you'll regret it if you don't" sucks, and so does being forced to dance no matter how bad you are at it. And knowing all the other kids in my year, there IS going to be alcohol, and I want no part of that.

I can relate.
When people do this there are two possibilities:
1- I go on answering "no" until they're tired of asking me or
2- if I'm not in the mood for a pointless discussion I just go away and let them think what they want.

I remember the year I quit public schooling,
there was a foreign spanish girl, even though we couldn't actually talk to each other she would laugh and smile a lot and seemed nice,
so I felt nice being around her. She was also very pretty, I thought. We would hang out sometimes, just play on the gym.

These other girls that I thought were "friends" suddenly started being very mean to me.
I asked them "Why do you two suddenly not like me? What did I do?" They gave me these smirks and one of them told me
"meet me in the bathroom after school." I shouldn't have, but I was very curious as to why she was upset with me.
She was putting on her lipstick (a 10 year old girl, mind you) and explained to me that the spanish girl was ignoring them, and they
immediately put the blame on me, saying that I was the one that made her behave mean towards them.

I promptly explained to them that this had nothing to do with me, and told them that I couldn't even communicate properly with the girl.
She just gave me more mad faces and told me to get out. :?

I remember crying when I got home, I don't know why. I started seeing most other girls very differently from then on.
I learned that this sort of behavior in them often did not get any better as they entered their teen years.

The only other female's that I am capable of getting along with are "geeky" ones, or my best friend, who has Aspergers herself.

This, is something I am guilty of though. But I have never had that sort of open response to it? :(
In my experience, they always act disgusted and I can't understand why because I just see it as something natural.
Maybe it has something to do with my fascination with blood. There have been many times when a girl is annoying me
that I try to gross her out with period talk so she'll feel uncomfortable and (hopefully) stay away from me. There was once a girl
who was incredibly rude to an autistic boy in one of my classes, (I attended a public school briefly for high school)
... I wiped my period blood on her. :shrug:

Why are they so loud and comfortable chatting in those big groups saying mean things about people.

I don't know why do neurotypical girls refer to themselves saying "I'm/We're soooo crazy/weird/bipolar/freak..." :?

I can't understand why all the girls in my school go in the bathrooms and take pictures of themselves in the mirror there. Our bathrooms are run down and gross looking.

I was told that this is because things like "crazy" "schitzo" "bipolar" "multiple personalities" and similar have become so much of a fad and a stereotype that now people use them in the wrong way.

Same here.

I can neither understand why they take pictures of themselves in the bathroom of their own house. What's the point in it?

What I don't look at is people being NT. Instead, I look at who is genuine and doing the right thing. I have some NT friends who are very sweet and genuine people who are not into sex, drugs, and all that.

My friends are all nice and polite people and they're all NTs (exept one, who's dyslexic).

Do all boys are sociopahts?
Do all girls have napoloeon complex?
Do all teens are paranoid about teachers?
Why don't they have moral?

While I don't discriminate against NTs and while I know one or two NTs who aren't like this, there are some common traits in many NTs that really confuse me:

1. Their obsession with drugs, smoking and alcohol. I mean, hello. These things are bad for you. You've been taught that since you were a little child.

2. Partially got to do with the above point, I don't understand why so many NTs feel the need to be rebellious. Does it make them "cool" or something?

3. Why are they so desperate to be seen as "cool"?

4. What's their obsession with the s-word? They see a hot guy/girl in the pub. They immediately want to get into his/her metaphorical bed. No build-up, no friendly conversation, nothing. Just the s-word. And once they've done the deed, they dump one another and never see each other again. That's very disturbing.

5. Why are so many NT girls (and some NT guys) so obsessed with how they look? Don't they realise that real beauty is more than skin-deep?

6. Why do they always come home late (2 or 3 in the morning) and then spend several hours shouting, laughing and drinking in front of the TV? I'm in student accommodation at the moment and I can not get to sleep because of them. It's absurd!

7. What's their obsession with porn?

8,. Why do they always have to use bad language?

9. Why do they have such an awful taste in music?

10. What is their obsession with sports and violence?

That's all for now,
