| I think NTs are more insensitive to theory of mind because they've never HAD to try. I understand it on a clinical level (my fictional characters tyically have 30 page psychological dossiers on them). It can be learned. Humans are systems. |

| My bra comes off as soon as I get home. I can't stand the damned thing. I change into jogging pants or a tracksuit or something else 'unfashionable'. |

| What I really hate is playing "phone tag". You call someone and leave an awkward message.... because they called you and left a message. Then they don't f*****g call back. |

Yes, its a part of their extreme narcissism. |

I just think its weird for when two people are alone to call each other by name. Uh... who else are you talking to?
That said, I hate my name and don't like to be called it. |

| I hate mine. I perceive sound as movement. A crying baby is me being punched in the face. A lawnmower makes me feel like I'm having a seizure. Its extremely rare that I get anything good out of it (like mjusic or a pleasant speaking voice will be orgasmic). |

| WHY on earth is it considered "fun" to drink so much that you throw up, do awkward things, get laughed at, can't get home alone and in the end don't remember anything and get told about the stupid things you did? Not necessarily "typical" NT, I know lots of people who drink reasonably... but I can'... |

Every single one I've met like that has been busted for being a pillpopper/distributor. I've heard/read that the DEA has been targeting doctors for pain meds, so that... |

| I have one and have been getting stuff for free (from amazon they have this thing where if some books were published before 1923, you can get them for free). But, I'm going to have to exchange it. There are 2 dead pixels that I can see and that sort of thing just drives me nuts. |
