No! Individuals may, but to state that all NT's do is judgmental. It's just as bad as saying all Aspies are incapable of empathy.

Actually wouldn't that be for psychopaths...?

You don't need to be negative to judge someone, you can do it in a positive way too, like inflicting religious beliefs.

I'd like to add - I agree with both of you, I just wanted to add the above! and the "below"

There are 2 kinds of empathy.

Cognitive Empathy is the ability to discern other's emotions from their appearance and behavior. This is what Aspies are typically bad at.

Afective Empathy is the ability to share emotions, to have someone else's situation trigger an emotional response in you. This is what i have always though of as "sympathy," and is something that Aspies tend to do just fine.

It's funny, people who I chat to (but don't know me fully) don't see my vibes, but people who don't know me AT ALL seem to notice all of my vibes and stand there laughing, staring or just hating.

Really, no idea. Why bothering? I give a s**t on their opinion and don't care when they shout that freaks like me should be locked in the psychiatric ward.

NT's fear people who are different. I really think they are afraid of mentally challenged people. They are uncomfortable and feel threatened.

Indeed. If you're different, you're unpredictable and if you're unpredictable, you could be dangerous.

Btw, I'll change my statement to apply to "Most NTs". Absolutes should be avoided, as not "all NTs" are the same.
