Which NT Traits Baffle you the Most?

Post Reply New Topic

Constant touching. Why are they always touching each other? Don't you need your hands for other things? Why is ok to rush up to someone and hug them? When is it NOT okay?

I tried to follow suit once and do 'normal' girly things but I just ended up kissing my nanna on the lips and weirding her out. javascript:emoticon(':oops:')

Bars

Why the hell do people enjoy going to bars? It's loud and smelly, and the bartender is always an as*hole, yet expects you to tip a $5 dollar beer that took him 2 seconds to pour after talking to the hotties for 20 minutes.

I could continue, and I will. The music is generic and lame, the "ambiance" consists of some cheap lights and crowds of people, and the only people that aren't retarded drunk are the ones trying to get retarded drunk. Some bars have dancing, which I suppose could be fun if you're into/good at that sorta thing, but a lot of the times you just wind up sitting at a table doing the same thing you'd do at your house...nothing. The women there are also slu*ty, or just there to tease drunk horny guys. (Not that this affects my decision as I am engaged. Now that I think about it, perhaps it's less an NT thing so much as a desperate singles thing.)

For me its fashion as they have to look the same dress the same also another one is when ever relatives say good bye they still keep on talking on and on they never stop.

I'm confused to why social norms which no one seem to understand don't vanish. Like wearing a hat inside isn't aloud, but when I talk to fellow teacher who have strict rules about this they can't come up with a good reason to why kids can't wear a beanie or cap inside. Is their any point in still having this rule then i ask, and they just answer "well, its not polite"...

It seems most NTs value being viewed as "nice" more than being viewed as honest. They don't want to hurt peoples' feelings or start conflict even though an issue is clearly bothering them. Bothering them enough to talk about the person behind their back, but never wanting to resolve it to their face. And many that I know don't take responsibility for their actions when they know they've done something wrong.

The "how are you!" that isn't supposed to be answered honestly.

Why ask if you expect the answer to be "good!" What if it's not good? No logic there.

The need to constantly smile. Fake smile, real smile, laugh. Always HAPPY. Like it's the only emotion. G-d forbid if you frown!!

The enjoyment of noise. Heels. Jangly earrings. Yelling. Keys. Loud music. Yes, the whole world knows you're coming. Do you like it that way?

I think the thing that baffles me the MOST is the constantly changing social structure. You're never in the same place with people. It's all so subjective.

You know what I REALLY don't get when an NT starts a conversation with you and you elaborate on the topic and they say you are arguing because you are "rebutting" them or whatever. Grinds my gears.

Another one is when they say that your comments had no point or that we did not have a logical leap in speech.

If we are talking about a genre of book like, vampires, and we are doing comparative mythologies on the fictional vampire myths, why would they get mad if I bring up factual vampire myths and cults?

Or the "whats your point" argument I had recently.

I dont remember what the conversation was but they asked me what was my point and I said nevermind I guess you did not get th epoint and they where like how can we get the point if you did not make one for us to get!

How can a comment not have a point?
