So what happens is that a ND person gets stuck in a long pointless debate or argument with a NT person, and the ND person thinks that the NT person's opinion is X because that's what the NT person says, but in reality, an NT's true opinion is often different to what he/she says it is.
This happens because social status/ranking is incredibly important in the minds of NT people. Therefore when an NT realizes that he/she made a mistake, he/she changes his opinion but keeps this secret. The NT continues to talk as if he/she hasn't changed his/her opinion, because in the NT mind, changing your opinion (or admitting to a mistake) means your social ranking will drop, and the social ranking is more important than anything else in the world (according to NT's).
I mean there some element of truth to these observations but....here's the thing
1. Some people on this forum bag NTs and claim things like you have but then do exactly the same thing as the NTs they deride
2. Some people on this forum say avoid NTs but they then return to their own life where 99.9% of the friends, family and co-workers they interact with are NTs.
3. The purpose of this thread is to intertwine lived experience, empirical observation and official reports. Opinion is not relevant here
