List one NT thing you do not understand.

"You're so creative". What does that even mean? Applied way too liberally.

I get great pleasure from hugging. It is the only level I feel close on most of the time. This aptitude led to employment as a masseur. When hugging, you hold an adult gently with your hands as if they were a baby, ignoring that they are standing.

"can you" as a request. If you "can", you have to

"Do you mind?", . "Yes" or "no" taken as consensus

Black and white thinking

They expect you to believe their patronizing condescending compliments

Judging people for superficial things (e.g. physical appearance)

Liberally giving out compliments that probably mean nothing

Preferring conformity over individuality

Why they are into ape like behaviour, hierarchies and dominance that much?
Why do they like manipulative women for being this way?
Why are they as much in copying even strange behaviour?

Why there is only one way for most beliefs, and if you suggest an alternative or less rigid way of thinking you "are attacking them". Where my intent is merely to suggest there's a middle ground where everyone can co-exist. Very few people get it.

I used to be freaked out by hugging. But you can get over it, and it does feel nice. A hug can say what you have trouble expressing in words.

I can’t understand how people become popular but after lots of observing, you have to talk to people who are also popular and make jokes that are good. I have seen some people who aren’t funny, they’re just very arrogant and they have a bunch of friends for that and I don’t get that. I guess they just stick with the right people who like gossiping and bullying others

The boundaries of their thoughts. I feel like my thoughts and imagination doesn't have boundaries like that.

Yeah, I often find the patterns by which they categorise their voiced thoughts and experiences peculiar.
Also the insistence that if you argue against A you must be for B... never got that one.
And the bloodyminded insistence that their own subjective experience is the measure of truth and morality: weird.

^ The either A or B line of thinking yes i can't understand it at all.

About being close minded, sometimes i feel i am too open minded. I am not sure which is better.

Why nearly all NT females dye their hair, especially dark-haired people dyeing their hair blonde and vice versa

Why getting drunk out of their minds is so appealing (then complaining of a hangover the next morning )

Maybe this isn't such an NT thing, but I can't understand why gender is so important. It doesn't seem to me like my being female should be any different from me having brown hair or blue eyes. We refer to people as "he" or "she" - why is there a need to differentiate in everyday conversation?

cruise ship holidays
pot luck parties
lavish weddings
block parties
window shopping

i dont understand why they get so sensitive about their age when they get older
like one time at work some bloke had a birthday coming up and he was turning 69 but i thought he was turning 70 so thats whats I said
then he was all offended and his mate said to me thats not very nice
but I tried to explain that just because i thought he was 70 it did'nt mean he LOOKED older i just thought he was 69 the last year maybe cos i heard someone say
it isnt a big deal nts!

Making gender a huge deal when it isn't like those hideous gender reveal parties, expecting everyone to fit the gender binary.
