Hi Shabba,
At one time I was VERY interested in the topic of the Egyptian pyramids.
I lost the interest when it got too weird in order to keep my sanity.
Some may say that I was "burying my head in the sand", but I prefer to keep life simple.

We can either try to "fit in" with the rest of society, or we can be so egocentric that we can't be bothered.
I choose the actor. I observe NT's. I listen to their socializing. I practice it, so in social situations I can just emulate/mimic what is expected.
It isn't natural for me, but it enables me to "fit in".
It is VERY tiring and draining, but at least we can appear like them even though it is an act. Like being on the stage.
They can't see it is emulation, and so we are accepted.
