Annoying habits of neurotypical people

(disclaimer: this post speaks of many or most NTs, not all of them)

Let's turn the tables. Well, not literally, but you know what I mean. Anyway, I am annoyed by NTs' lack of honesty and directness. For example, I received wto rejection letters, one for a job and another for law school. Both substitute the word unable for unwilling.. NTs' tend not to appreciate a good logical argument. NTs', especially young ones, tend to care about trivial and absurd things such as Jersey Shore, sports, sex, alcohol, and the sort. NTs' control the social rules and punish people who don't conform to the silly irrational rituals and norms they think are good. I could probably go on forever. Anyone else?

Well for one I don't think sports are "absurd" and I believe sex isn't considered "trivial". but otherwise I see what you're saying

I get annoyed when it comes to getting intimidated or ridiculed if you don't conform to their ways, especially by strangers who don't even know you. Actually, where I come from, you can't ''mix'' your type. For example, if you look weird, you can act or dress weird. If you give off ''neurotypical'' body language, you must look normal and act normal. But those who look normal, dress normal and act normal but have some sort of odd way about them, they're the ones who get ridiculed, intimidated, shamed, laughed at and stared at the most, and sadly I happen to fall into that category. I think it's so stupid.

That goes to show that NTs only have empathy for others like them - they cannot put themselves into other people's shoes who aren't like them.

Same goes for anybody, not just Aspies. If somebody has a back injury and goes out walking a bit different because of it, they will get ridiculed. But someone like me, I look at them and think, ''maybe he's had a back injury. That poor person, I wonder how he's feeling right now, with having to cope with his back and all these awful, empathetic-less people staring at him.''

And they say Autistics lack empathy and NTs don't.....? Right.......

I hate how they always feel the need to talk.

i hate when they touch me,that is the worst

Teasing as a form of comradery. Calling each other insults in a non-serious manner. Why?

It annoys me when people make up an offensive nickname for someone else but only as a joke and they take it as a joke aswell and come to love being called it. Like at my volunteer job there was a woman who spoke in a Welsh accent, and one of the men called her ''Welsh b***h'', but judging by her reaction (which was a relaxed smile) I knew he was just joking around, but I bet if I laughed warmly and called her that she'd get offended. I just don't understand how NTs can start off a nickname for somebody and they not get offended by it but if I started one off, whatever it was and whoever it was, they'll get grossly offended, even if I did it in a nice, friendly way.

Not all NTs start off nicknames that would be offensive outside a friendly joke, but a lot of cocky NTs do, and it annoys me sometimes.

I don't like the ones who try to be your friend and then break off the friendship just because they get annoyed with your "restricted interests".
