that saddens me.

^^What saddens you?

that you implied that if somebody were consistently good to you, you still might desert them in their time of need.

Oh! I see what you mean. I read it wrong.

I meant, I think I'd probably stick by them.

right on!

Is it new year where you are yet?

No, but I must admit, that I have longed to have my energy for my own purposes in many of these periods.

Are aspies more loyal than NT´s? No, I don´t believe so. Many aspies let themselves be decieved, because it takes them longer to discover falsehood, but that is not the same as more loyalty.

Aw, well I'll be tucked up in my bed by that time.

that is because you are human and are being tested. no real tests are joys.

This describes me. I'm definitely too naive and trusting, and will go on believing for years that people care about me, when really they don't.

I have about 5 friends. When I'm around the NT once I try extra hard to fit in.

Yes, I think they would be. I'm certainly loyal to friends, though I completely agree with hurtloam about family.

Maybe this loyalty has something to do with aspies valuing truth and being more rational. The thing is, everyone likes to do selfish things (they are, by definition, in our self-interest), but most people don't like to feel selfish. I think NTs can more easily deceive themselves into thinking they're not really doing anything bad (when they are), while aspies are more likely to analyse it rationally and find they are unable to justify it.

It could also have something to do with aspies struggling more to make friends, so they would tend to value them more.

AS people tend to have more of a black and white mentality than NTs.

I think this is reflected in their relationships with people so that people tend to be completely in the warm, or completely out in the cold, whereas with NTs people are mostly somewhere in between.

AS people can be extremely loyal to those who consistently treat them well.

I don't think so in my case. I am just too detached. I mean my family are everything to me, but to be perfectly honest if I lost them all, they would probably fade away fairly quickly in my mind as I adapted to my new environment. But at the same time what you see is what you get with me, which is pure honesty. I don't play mind games with ppl or have hidden agendas or w/e, so I am very loyal in that respect.

Yes. Loyalty is one of my qualities. However, I've learned that I shall be to those who deserve it and are good to me, not the opposite.

I used to be like that, but I've learned.



Yes. Also, if you want someone who won't ever let you down, get a pet. They will never let you down and always be there for you.
