List one NT thing you do not understand.

The insensitive response that I get from my mum, when I phone her, and tell her that one of my favourite celebrities has passed away. "Shelby! They're old! People don't last forever, you know!" Whatever mum. Go suck an egg and watch American Idol.

I love American Idol

But seriously, I cried more when Aaliyah died than when my own grandmother died. WTF is wrong with me?

i was in a mall where predominantly business people were congregating today.
i walked down to one end, and as i walked past all the tables where office people were sitting at tables and drinking their coffees and eating their croissants, i heard may loud bursts of laughter from the people sitting there. some people were laughing like they just saw the funniest thing they ever witnessed.

they were dressed in business attire, and they were all licking each other's asses as far as i could determine. i stopped and pretended i was waiting in a queue so i could listen to what one man found so "funny " that he was moved to laugh so boisterously. i could not really hear what the conversation wwas, but every time some other person said something, he laughed in a loud and forced way.

it sounded fake to me. it sounded like he was laughing with a mission to get into good favor with the others at his table. every 30 seconds or so, he laughed in a way that i could tell was not real. it was like he was just yelling "ha ha ha ha" while pulling his face into a grimace.

i know that many people practice smiling in the mirror as they are growing up, and they look at themselves in the mirror and pull various expressions and study themselves to see what looks believable or cute or whatever they are aiming for, and they hone their "social skills" in that manner.

after some time, they have a "routine" that they display to people they are with, and it garners them social acceptance.

i think that many people also practice laughing while they are alone at home, and they refine their "laughing skills" over time. they practice how to sound like they are genuinely laughing, but when i hear them demonstrate it, i get a feeling of total alienation, and i feel like i am divorced from their act and i see them in a bad way.

the laugh of the man i first studied was completely fake because he regained his composure almost immediately after doing his "ha ha ha" routine. never the less, the other people at his table were appreciative of it. the person who was talking that he was yelling "ha ha ha ha ha!!" at seemed energized by hearing it and he looked cocky and conceited.

i then walked further down into the mall, and i heard many "ha ha ha ha!! !" 's, at different tables, and i realized they were all just fake motions. all their "ha ha ha ha"'s were none the less excitedly accepted by who they "ha ha ha" 'd at.

i started to feel a bit scared i must say. i suddenly felt so alone. it was like i was in a world full of mechanical dolls who just acted in a way that was inevitable as if a key was stuck in their back and wound up.

when i laugh, the episode goes on for ages, and i eventually have to force my self to think of something else or else i will laugh for ever. i am disabled when i laugh and i can hear nothing or see nothing that will sober me, and it is like a spasm of irrefutable instinct that can not be muted except for when i wear my neuronal excitation out in that particular arrangement.

these people who laugh loudly and boisterously like they just saw the funniest thing in their lives, and then suddenly stop laughing when the person who they are "ha ha"ing at starts to say another sentence are 99% of people i see.

wow! i really am alone in this world of pretence.

When I was in basic training the drill sargeants made a right handed guy shoot left handed. He was missing the target by feet so they figured when he was little he was left handed so they made him switch hands. After he switched he was hitting the target getting a sharpshooter badge. The drill sargeants told me they get one or two guys a year they had to "fix" what his teacher's broke.

I hate it when people preface insults and criticisms with "no offense", or "in my opinion". I mean, if its an insult or a criticism, its self evident and needs no preface... Oh, and It's your opinion? Really, who else's would it be if? If it was someone other than yourself you would have to say, but otherwise its just redundant. I hate redundancies.

Why people assume you did it when you get very upset after they falsely accused.

Saying "no offense" is incredibly annoying. It's like they want to remove my right to be offended just before they proceed to insult me. There's absolutely no point in saying "no offense".

No offense but I think you're a d-bag.

Uh oh, this is something I do. But I always say it cuz I know I'm gonna say something offensive. I think it's funny. Should I not say it?

I say it too, but only if I'm about to say something I know could be misconstrued as rude when I don't mean it to be.

No offense means "don't take this wrong wrong way" but I agree there are people out there that abuse it and just say something offensive vs people who are genuine and want to ask you something but they don't want you to blow up at them. Same as when they want to share their opinion with you such as they might say "No offense but I think you have a bad landlord." And I would wonder why would I be offended by that?

I hate that too. My family always ask me why I'm being so defensive if I haven't done anything wrong, I just don't get it lol.

I don't understand congregating in noisy places where you have to shout over each other to be heard. It takes way too much effort and gives me a splitting headache.

I also don't understand groups of squealing NT girls at bars. That and NTs who laugh like hyenas. Why? I feel like I'm at the zoo. Do I need to sneak tranquilizers in their drinks so they shut up?

I myself am mostly NT, but I just don't get clubbing.

I should rather say I get it too much. The few times I went clubbing I just couldn't have fun. All my friends were dancing etc., but in my eyes it was a sea of girating and frankly quite like animals courting eachother. For me it was proof that, no matter how smart humans may be, we're still monkeys in the inside. I found it despicable.

I'd rather go play some soccer with my friends or just do stuff on my own.

I have a hard time telling if people are genuinely upset with me, just trying to be constructive or just saying things to make me upset. Peoples intentions are just a puzzle to me, and when someone asks states "don't be upset by this" and then says something that upsets me, it practically doubles the effect because not only am I upset about what they said, I'm now also upset with the fact that I couldn't control myself enough to maintain my demeanor

Nothing wrong with saying it, only in how I processes it. For most people I'm sure it makes perfect sense

I always say "don't take this the wrong way"...cause people always do.

I've always been told I'm very opinionated and cynical; and I regret none of it

How they make friends so quickly
