People are such hypocrites

Post Reply New Topic

One thing that really bothers me are these NTs who always complain that they can't put ourselves into other people's shoes because of our "Autism."

Yet, when they discourage us from doing such as dating, driving cars, living on our own, etc, we get upset and they seem to ignore our feelings. They also can't seem to put themselves into our shoes.


Responses are

"Quit crying, the grass always seems greener on the other side of the fence."

"You're over reacting."

"You should count your blessings."

Life with NT's sure can be frustrating, exasperating, and several other words.

If by chance I happened to be feeling snarky at the time, my response to "Count your blessings" might be something like, "But that would force me to leave you out."

People like that are what have caused mistreatment towards me over the years.

If you even try to correct them, it goes right over the top of their heads. It's like they don't get it. Still, I have noticed a pattern with these types of people.

1. At no time does these people ever attempt to get to know us, rather they make silly assumptions about us.

Yup yup.

I wouldn't mind getting snapped at for being unable to put myself in other person's shoes (that's what empathy is about, yes?) if those people would accept me snapping at them when they clearly can't put themselves in my shoes but no, that's not how it goes. In their minds, they have the right to get mad at me for not fitting in their shoes but I have no right to get mad at them when they don't fit in to mine. Logically thinking, I get it; most people are NTs, so of course they'll have trouble with empathy when facing a person from the spectrum since they aren't used to it and since they've learned that their way is usually the standard, it's understandable that many don't even consider that they might be doing something wrong and that they could try compromising and learning, too. But despite me being a logical person, it's still annoying.
