Things You Can't Understand About NTs

Post Reply New Topic

Every concept that is and is not NT I understand. I could say I don't understand what socializing is, but that's not true. I cant get the concept in practice, because the rules change according to a context I can't clearly see. Everyone picks up the rules immediately, I either over-intellectualize them or don't see them at all. Whatever I do, it seems its mere chance that I do somethign right.

I'm not a misanthropist though, I'm more angry at my lineage than at the world.

New here and wanted to ask what a NT's stands for? Thanks!

Thanks acentupleflat! I don't understand the purpose of makeup when it just covers up who you naturally are. Don't see the purpose of getting your nails done, just can't really see guys being impressed by this. Expensive purses and clothing with a logo splashed on it just seems silly. Mothers dressing there little girls up like there 20 years old for beauty pageant's is really wrong in so many ways. I don't get why celebrities make more money then a firefighter, police officer, teacher, doctor, military, and so on. Having plastic surgery just to look like all other woman who have it. Having botox so your face can look tight and scary.

Why NTs cant just tell you when theres something wrong. THey gotta do all the pesky annoying things that drives me completely paranoid.

Why is hearing a baby cry for a few seconds or even for a minute ruin their rest of the time in a restaurant? All of a sudden their meal is ruined. Even if the mother got her baby out of there, someone's meal is still ruined because suffering for a few seconds ruined their whole outing there.


I don't think this is really an NT thing, it's more of an idiotic thing and I don't get it. I know not everyone is like this because I'm not. This seems to be a childfree trait. This is something I don't get about the childfree. It's like they see things in black and white and if one little thing goes wrong, they had a bad time despite all the good stuff of not seeing any misbehaved children or screaming babies and toddlers for long periods of the time but yet they only heard a baby cry for a few seconds and bam their meals were ruined so they keep their focus on that for why their time out was bad. Hey I know, black and white thinking is also a childfree trait.

everything

My main thing, I wonder how NTs get through life seemingly with no thought process about anything at all. Like instead of their actions being planned, everything they do is just a reaction. They very rarely can explain "why" they actually do anything they do at all. That's my big separation for "NTs" my friend with Aspergers, before I even got my diagnosis or even thought about the possibility of me having it, we had a big talk, and we sorta just came to the conclusion that most people seem to just not "think."

In some ways, though, their thought process, or lack of it, benefits them. I'd really like to know how their not thinking thought process works, it just perplexes me, because my thought process is apparently very analytic about literally everything according to everyone else.

-------------------

I think as far as specific behaviors or whatever, I don't tend to fault people so much if they can explain why they do them. Like I tend to wear "preppy" clothes I buy at Salvation Army for like no money, and to me, it's a really great idea. The clothes fit well, they look good, and I can get used preppy clothes for less money than "nerdy" clothes with "nerd" stuff on them. Some preppy clothes, I specifically like the materials and build better. Like, American Eagle boxers are the finest boxers I've ever tried. Hanes boxers I need a medium, and American Eagle, I can take the small, as the American Eagle has larger leg holes. So, I've never had an "NT" explain exactly why they would say, wear preppy clothes. They just sort of have this thought process of "just because" and to me it's never an adequate reason for doing stuff. To an extent, the ultimate "NT" thought process is in the movie Idiocracy. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-Vw2CrY9Igs That's the biggest example of this thought process here.

I don't understand why women, particularly young women, brand the term "creeper" on guys they don't find attractive. I've been described as "creepy" by too many girls.

I don't understand why it's boring to others for me to "monologue" about a subject that is interesting but I'm supposed to listen to them for as long as they want when it's a relationship problem.

I don't understand talking about weather just to make small talk. I only mention it if it's incredibly out of the ordinary. I was trying to make fun of this with my sister the other day but then she admitted that she does it too when it's slow at her work to make conversation. My mind thinks if that's all you have to talk about then don't talk. I'd be quiet in that situation.
