List one NT thing you do not understand.

Post Reply New Topic

Not really an NT thing, but why do people sit in other people's seats, knowing full well that the place will be full? Why do they act like you are asking for something unreasonable when all you want to do is to sit in the seat that paid for? Why do they make you into the bad guy? What is the best way to handle this situation?

Why do people think you're judging them when you ask a question in general about something regarding people and their decisions they make or things they do or what they believe in?

Small talk and conversations about trivial things. Why bother? Asking you how you are doing and not expecting an answer that actually responds to the question. I really don't understand national sports teams, either. College sports makes more sense because the people on the teams are actually in that particular college. National sports teams are made up of people who are often not even from that city or state or country and fans act like the team represents their geographical area. It makes no sense to me.

Hmmm... "List one thing" Following directions

Why are so many NTs greedy for power, manipulative and engage in bullying and/or ostracizing of other people who are different even if those differences don't actually bear any physical or mental harm?

Or even 'so are you dating anyone?'
Glad people don't ask me that anymore.

Why NT's fake empathy over the smallest things, its like whats the point? And why are u seen as so cold for not faking empathy?

Why is it when your of a certain age like early 30s or older, your female and your not married or in a long term relationship, it is looked down upon? I get the sense that people think theres something wrong with the women cause shes still single.

Hiding their exceptionalism.

I'm learning not to lead with mine, but I'd really like to know about yours!

Why people think making fun of someone's disability is okay when they were jerks or whatever. I see that at Babycenter and I do not get why those women feel it's okay for them to make fun of someone's learning disability just because they felt they were judged by that user. To me it's the same thing as making fun of someone for being in a wheelchair even though that person is a jerk and likes insulting people. But yet if you make fun of someone in a wheelchair, you are shunned but you aren't if you make fun of invisible disabilities. But you are shunned if you make fun of the mentally handicapped or a severely autistic person. But make fun of someone who looks normal and seems normal, people seem okay by it even though they are aware of the person having it. Also people think it's okay to make fun of people about their mental illnesses or eating disorders.



People asking a question and then getting upset when they get an honest answer so they say they got snide comments or mean comments or say the person was a bully. Did they want a validation or wanted to hear what they wanted to hear? Aspies do this BS too and it pisses me off.

I was thinking about this too.

Why do people say congrats to each other and get very cheerful when they really aren't that excited about a person's accomplishments? Why do they fake their excitement?

Because they feel happy for them and are just trying to be nice or they don't know what to say so they say it so they won't come off as wrong like cold hearted or uncaring.

I just say "congratulations" and that's it. I guess I am faking it too.

Why do people look at eachother so much in crowded places? Surely there are too many people to get noticed properly. If you were in a big empty field and you see another person wondering about, then yeh you will look at them to see who they are, but when you're in a really crowded place like a shopping centre, there are too many people to just stare at.

Another thing - when I was a child, I was always taught never to stare at people and was always told it's rude to stare. But people haven't seemed to obey that rule because I get stared at like I'm Elephant Man.

Or even worse:
"Do you have a boyfriend?"
"No."
"Why?"

I mean, why must there be a reason for that? And why should I be accountable for that?
Sometimes I say I might not be able to fall in love, but that it doesn't matter. Just as a statement, not a complain. What they think it is, so they try to "comfort" me saying, oh yes, everybody can, just be open, and so on. But I really don't miss it.
I might be asexual of some kind, but not sure.

Why do teenagers primarily care about hooking their friends up with someone and whatnot?

Conformity, team sports, killing people who are different, and white lies are the ones that seem to stick out in my mind...

I don't get on TV programmes how the character with the most quirks and the most odd behaviour or ''stupid'' behaviour is commonly the most loved character of most viewers, but people like that in real life (ie, most Aspies) get laughed at, picked on, singled out, ect.
