I thought I was like everyone else, turns out, I'm not.

NTs do horrible things, can someone explain how they think please? And how selfish they can be?

I met someone I thought was really nice-Turns out...They may be just another NT.

That's a big big subject, that cannot be summarised into a sentence or less. I would read some of the other threads around here, you'll pick it up.

The terms "lurk" and "more" may be useful.

For me it's always been about competition. It seems like most people are trying to out
game each other and don't understand I'm simply not playing or even interested in playing
At least in the jockeying for "status" arena.

It IS hard to answer your question without knowing what the story behind your post is though.

Some people take this 'game' way too seriously. For some NTs it's all there is. To them this is life So it seems. :cry:

I say just give up. People like that are never worth your time and some will hurt you in really deceptive ways.

You can't explain the NT world because you can't explain something that has no logic.

They DONT think. That is just it. They are controlled. They are zombies.

Not all NTs are zombies, I've met a few that think for themselves. Everyone is controlled, whether they be NT, AS, HFA, Tourette's, ADHD, ect. We just may not be controlled the same way.

NT's are significantly more accepting of the fact that their inherently broken (as technically all of humanity really is), perhaps in that they can see it more clearly or in many cases get by with a bit less grief than we do from it. Where it goes wrong from our perspective usually, they're also more accepting of not only letting their emotions run things more (which is an issue when it sells out integrity) but many are also more given to social Darwinism on the knowledge that bad attitude gets you far.

That's not to say that lots of them aren't as annoyed, frustrated, disenfranchised, or feeling as lonely in the whole mess as many Aspies are - they aren't all one type, I don't get the impression that most of them are particularly happy with life either, its one of those things where the wrong types of people tend to bang on the pots and pans the loudest and supersede everyone else in setting the tone of society. Kind of like how if we had an Aspie country (as some people have guessed) the rules of that hypothetical place would likely be based on dealing with the toxic effects of our own common denominator.

There is no NT world. There are just people. All sorts of people. With incredibly varied beliefs, habits and opinions.

Probably most people are two faced.
