For one thing thats quite blunt....NT's hate blunt things, even if you say it in an emotionless way it makes you look like an ass, I dont understand how something unemotional translates to harsh but it happens. Just avoid topics like that, I used to say stuff like that all the time and not understand its harshness to the average conventional mind.

I think that NTs don't mind it so much if one of them brings it up, because NTs approve of the way their own type communicate. I think that we come off differently during discussion, and it's not something they're familiar with or really aware of.
