| Making fun of, gossiping about, calling a narcissist or sociopath: Usually when the person is very far above me socially and very far removed from me emotionally, such as a political or business leader, but may happen with loved ones who are both difficult to change and difficult to feel bad for. I... |

| I would like to go a little deeper into this if you'd indulge me. Among the different possibilities you mentioned, what about that person or about you would cause a particular possibility to play out?

| So what happens if a socially dominant person is rude or oppressive towards you? Do you not consider them a "real person"? Do you become sad? vengeful? Details please. Becoming sad or vengeful is one possibility. Another is that you develop Stockholm syndrome and see their behavior as eit... |

| I think the problem is that there's a tendency, probably part biological and part cultural, for most of us (NTs) to consider "real, trustworthy, acceptable people" by default to be either those who are (a) similar to us in culture, subculture, opinions, perception, and so on or (b) social... |

| I don't know what has been going on with you and what has caused you to decide to leave but it makes me feel sad whenever this wrongplanet forum which is supposed to be a safe haven for autistic people doesn't live up to it's credo and autists have to seek solace elsewhere. |

It means that for both men and women on the spectrum, some attributes measured (both behavioral and physical) in aggregate c... |
