Judgement and Acceptance / Personality

Post Reply New Topic

while i do have issues with people who mistreat other people regardless of their backgrounds, i don't have issues with NTs in particular. perhaps this is because i was never bullied in school or at home by my siblings. autism did not negatively impact the way other people treated me then or now.

i don't know any aspies or auties in real life so everyone i deal with is an NT. all my friends are NTs. i can't afford to discriminate, lol.

i myself am INFJ, sometimes referred to as the confidant. people do often tell me their secrets, lol. i try very hard to always consider why people do the things they do. that can be applied to serious situations (why did someone attack someone else) or just everyday life (why didn't she hold the elevator for me)?

if i consider why people do the things they do, i can usually find a way to accept what they've done. for example, why did some kids bully my friends growing up? likely, because they were trying to establish dominance, where themselves past victims or where victimized at home. didn't make it right but made it more understandable.

or why didn't she hold the elevator door for me? maybe she didn't see me coming, perhaps she reacted to late, maybe she was in a hurry, for all i know she really needed to pee, lol.

i rarely get angry in life except at true injustice (world hunger, etc.).

Well put Arisu. I feel similarly

I didn't feel defensive so much as confused. It seemed like you were addressing me directly about your type, then started to address some else, without clarifying, so then I wondered if that additional stuff was addressed to me or not. I didn't know if you had mistaken me for someone else, or just didn't differentiate whom you were talking to. No harm, no foul.

I took that test and thought it would come out differently than it did, but it rated me as INTJ. Funny how every time I take one of these things thinking it will discredit my self-diagnosis it seemingly reaffirms it instead.
