What pet peeves do you have about NT'S?
For me it is the following
1. I hate it when I am doing my own thing and minding my own buisness when someone just barges in on what I am doing and says "How are you?" And they act all cheery and seem really annoying
2. I hate it when a lot of my peers treat me like a toddler eventhough I'm 17 a lot just treat me like I don't know anything
3. When I am in a group discussion with people they use their normal tone of voice but when they talk to me they talk to me all baby like I find it really annoying.

What are your social pet peeves that you have?

their facades...

1). I hate it when they seem to talk to everyone else like they're adults and talk about what is going on in their lives and then when you try to join, it's like they put on a plastered smile and go, "Hello," and then act as if you aren't human enough to join.

2) When they sit there and knit pick you about every little thing being inappropriate or unacceptable even when you try your best to fit in.

3) People assume that I have no life outside of one interest

4) When you talk to someone and they happen to have this condescending, "That is not a good idea huh?" So basically when someone uses sarcasm and throws the word, "Huh," into the picture.

The things I can't stand about NT's are:
1) When I was in school I was always ignored and felt left out all the time and no one came up to talk to me that much. I was the weird one! I was afraid to appproch them first and make the first move!
2) They can't accept that I'm obsessive and repetitive they're so judgemental! My Billy Idol CD/CD cover is my attachment object I bring everywhere and always have with me, and people make fun of me and call me weird! Trust me I cannot help it! I've been this way since I was a child! I have to have it with me as a comfort object and a security blanket! Plus he makes me happy and gets me through the day!
3) weird fact about me: I am afraid of cars and the sound of cars and I don't drive! Plus i also can't drive because I'm visually impared as well. Cars give me panic anxiety, so when I get in them I only sit in the back of the car. Every car, and I don't care who is driving and even if the front passenger side is free I still won't sit up front! The problem is neurotypicals don't understand that at all, so the very few friends I do have I get in their cars but I sit in the back and they can't drive too fast! My other friends I grew up with that I have on Facebook I haven't seen since before they started to drive, and I won't get in the car with any of them because they won't understand me at all and think I'm weird for sitting in the back and having a CD with me! I also have trust issues with NT's!

I mostly hang out with much older adults because I trust them a lot better and they don't judge me. I also hang out with little kids because they see me as a kid too because I'm kind of immature for my age (22) but I don't care I like it! I've always been immature! Neurotypical teenagers and People around my own age don't get me at all! I don't like NT's around my age! I only have 3 NT friends and I never see them because I don't trust them and I can't rely on them! They never call me back because they have "normal" friends to hang out with! And that's what I don't like about NT's. Sorry it was so long I just needed to vent. Plus I'm new here. Nice to meet u all! It's great to find people I can relate to and who can relate to me!

I can't stand when I try to contribute to the conversation and NTs say that my viewpoint is childish.

I hated it when relatives used to quiz me by asking me obvious questions about my special interests when I was a kid instead of trying to challenge me.

I also can't stand being talked to like a toddler. If a person is going to talk to me, I want them to speak to me normally.

Miyah, I have a question regarding number 2, and anyone else who would like to chime in. My son has a lot of social skill deficits and when left alone he does things that really turn other kids off. I am trying to help him with social skills but I feel sometimes that doing this is just making him feel bad about himself. I don't want him to be someone he is not, but I know that when kids don't want to play with him it really hurts his feelings. I know what it is that he does that turns them off and I try to explain that, but I wonder sometimes if I'm just reminding him of what he can't do rather than teaching him what is necessary in order to have friends and find kids to play with. Can you give me any insight as to the line that I need to keep from crossing? Like you, he tries his best and I know that, but he has so much to learn and it's hard for him to learn it so I can't give up. I would love anything you can give me regarding this. I'm really struggling with what is right. PM me if you want since this is kind of off topic. I don't want to be one of those annoying NT's

Nothing. The idea that there is enough in common between the literally billions of neurotypical people in the world for anything specific about them to bother me is absurd to me. I'm not aware that non-neurotypical people are less bothersome to me than neurotypical people anyway. Some individuals bother me. Some don't.

yea there was an aspie guy who was an ass in my asperger class he always had something to say to me, and some kinda comment. I think he didn't like me because I was black or he felt inferior to me because I'm black. but i was in the class for the same reason he was so if that what was going on, he's stupid and it's all in his head. but everyhwhere you go there are gonna be people who like you and who don't, even if it's aspergers; for what ever reason. I just expect everyone not to like me so I don't get hurt. But YES many NTs in particular do not like me for probabaly the same reason the aspie guy didn't like me.

NTs will often support an anti-freedom agenda because they think it makes them cool.

Oh gosh, I find that so demeaning. Thankfully I havent had that happen to me for a couple years. I used to have a lab TA who talked to me like a baby and it makes me think, what do these people seriously think that Im ret*d?
