That is the question I feel like asking a lot of NTs that attempt to "befriend" me. Their concept of friendship and mine is not compatible, and generally I don't find these people that interesting. However, they don't even seem to get it when I try to keep my distance from them.

Are there any good ways of getting through to these people other than just being blunt?

if you continue to keep your distance, they should eventually get the message.
