What kind of NT's do you like best?

Post Reply New Topic

How do you like regular NT's to interact with you? Is there anyone you've been particularly keen on because of certain character traits?

Personally I find I get on better with geeks and NTs who are socially awkward. If someone is really 'normal' and 'ordinary' I actually feel really uncomfortable around them.

My friends are all either people who play Dungeons and Dragons, or people who have mental health problems, or both.

The quiet, soft spoken and introverted types.

Highly intelligent.

Huh... I dunno, all my NT friends are different. I guessss.... the irresponsible kind. That's my favorite. I don't feel like a screw-up around them, heh. And they're less likely to look at me like I'm a little kid. D:

^ True. For me, Fun, up for adventure or partying or intellectual or artistic pursuits. They can be introverted or extroverted.

I've only made relationships based on an interest, as long as we speak of that fine, otherwise I'm not interested, so, my answer to the question is none.

The ones who are happy without a lot of social contact.

Very different.
At my old school, I got along with the majority of people and was kinda popular but only made one REALLY close friend. (I know her since age five.) You know, the kind of friend you're inseparable from and can talk to about anything, and trust 100%? We're still in contact though she's studying in another city. She's very talkative and has interests totally different from mine, so it surprised other people a lot that we were friends. Still, I like her. She has exactly my sense of humor, and in some situations, when talked to, we're saying the same thing at the exactly same time, like twins or something. Which is amusing because we're very different personalities.
At university, the people I hang out with have obviously interests similar to mine. Duh. We're all interested in science so there's some common ground. I get along with them well and we're eating lunch together and go shopping as a group and such. Whether anyone is a "friend for life", I can't tell yet, I don't know them long enough for that. (It always takes me several years to connect to other people and get really close to them. Unfortunately. I guess they deserve better, as they're all very nice and I suppose I SHOULD consider them real friends. They probably consider me as one.)
Same for my chess club - it's easy to talk to them since there's a common interest and I'm respected both as a player and as a (rather successful) voluntary teacher.
At my art club (which was actually only an online club first, but in my city we have regular meetings and there's SOME interesting event every weekend and I've been going to events in other towns as well), I made some very close friends I'm meeting regularly and a lot of casual acquaintances. It's been helping me a lot to practice social situations.

Actually, I tend to get along better with extroverted and very direct people. Since I'm really, really bad at nonverbal stuff, it helps when people are SAYING what they're thinking. If someone is quiet, I can't communicate with them. I wouldn't know whether they're interested in a conversation at all.
(Maybe I should mention I'm rather extroverted myself.)
I rarely get along with the "geeky" sort of person.

Ones that are individual, that is not wearing the same clothes as all the people in their group. Someone with similar interests of course, and many interests. Someone that likes to increase their knowledge, so many people just rather stick to what they know and never search for any answers. A person that is fun and has good people skills, but not too talkative or extroverted.
A scifi loving geek.
Someone that'll have a few drinks in the pub with me and then we'll go see a live band.
Someone that doesn't discriminate, I especially hate those types that say rude or racist jokes.
Those that don't ignore or shy away once I bring up autism.

I'm glad I've found such people.

I agree! I have had people that have known me for a while, when I tell them about my autism start talking down to me, like I had become a little child in their minds. I did notice that, as time went on, they forgot they had decided I needed to be patronized and just talked to me normal again.
I know it is simply our public relations that place such an emphasis on childhood autism. Adult autistics are "invisible."

Good looking female NTs who wish to indulge in carnal congress.

People who smoke lots of marijuana are easiest to get along with. after that, I like talkative people who will tell you stories about stuff. I don't like introverted people that much.

Yeah I tend to go for the extroverted, obnoxious kind of people. I always have. I know they're the ones that are the most brutally honest like me and they won't be afraid to tell me if I'm annoying them or doing something "weird". I need that kind of honesty or I'll end up annoying people until they won't talk to me, without even realizing it. People who don't talk a lot weird me out and remind me of what I was like when I was clinically depressed. For that reason, I feel I shouldn't be around them.

They aren't really NTs, but I get along with BiPolar people pretty well. I also like the artsy fartsy type and the urban culture, and anyone who isn't big about judging people. I like to talk about deep, poetic things, and I like to be able to lay back and think of nothing for a while, so I don't really have any requirements except that my friends are pretty diverse.

I guess I pretty much get along well with most people... the following seems to be the problem:

Narcissistic individuals
Men who suffer from Short Man Syndrome
Fanatics (especially when it comes to religion)
Fake People (until I break through their front, then we get along)
My sister (LOL...couldn't resist...I Love her, but we don't get along well)

As far as people who understand me...only one person does and that's because she's a lot like the guy off of Law and Order Criminal Intent (the one who was the roach in Men in Black, Gomer Pile in Full Metal Jacket). She can get into the mind of anyone and follow their logic, and that's why she's such a social butterfly. She has taught me so much about people.

And the only person who can tell me what to do was my father, and he's dead. But he's the only one I would trust for that. So essentially, he's the only person I think I fully trusted in this world.

Damn, I swear all autistics are the same. It is so annoying sometimes, that I can't even fit in with other peopel with AS. All you guys care about is interests interests interests interests, oh my god.

For me, I can get along with an NT that is fun loving, sorta quirky, ADHD, but not types that are real athletic, real quiet, or geeks.
