Why do NTs think that normality is a good thing?

Post Reply New Topic

Well girls like it because they're... well... girls. Seeking and being normal is their thing, mostly.

And then guys pursue it because the aforementioned girls demand it if you want a relationship/sex with them.

Thus, the majority of the world seeks normalcy all because of girls.

Oh how delightfully stereotypical...

Jokes are delightful.

I thought jokes were funny...claiming that all girls care about is being normal, just does not seem like a very funny joke.

Well, you're right. Realistic jokes just aren't that funny, sometimes.

(Anyway, if you're going to get serious, I'll add that I meant "most girls", not necessarily all. Obviously, most girls on WP are not like "most girls". Also, I didn't claim that's "All they cared about".)

My theory is that "normal" is something of a meaningless word. Ask an NT to define it. If you get an answer at all, it's likely to be vague and end up being something along the lines of "not like me". I used to do this in HS, when people would tell me I wasn't normal. I'd say something like "Really, please elaborate, what particular behavior is abnormal? How should I act differently in order to be normal." On the rare occasion someone actually came up with something concrete, I would proceed to give a logical and rational reason to act in the way I did, or how irrational the behavior I wasn't engaging in actually was. At some point in this conversation, the person would generally get a strange, confused look on their face and give up, going about their day. This was generally the last time I would hear the "not normal" complaint from that person. "Make them think about what they're doing logically and they leave me alone" was a lesson I learned well. I turned the discussion about me into a discussion about them and/or society in general, and that generally made them uncomfortable enough to at least quit bothering me.

My current theory is that "you're not normal" is simply the NTs way of verbalizing a difference they can't really define. They don't understand the psychology of aspies and NTs. They perceive a difference, likely due to their ability to perceive social cues and more refined social instincts. In the absence of any obvious visible differences like race or nationality, or obvious though not visible differences like relative wealth or religion, they simply default to saying someone is "not normal".

Alright, sorry.........I'm just not in a very good mood, and within the past couple minutes it has gotten worse. but yeah I see what you mean if you're describing normal neurotypical girls that is partially why I never got along with them too well.

People who think normality is a "good thing" are just morons who are afraid of deviating from the mainstream and thinking for themselves. They're soulless sheep who don't understand anything outside of "normality" due to their high levels of stupidity. They're the type of people who tell you to have a 9 to 5 job, watch football, think the same things they think, and dress the way they want you to dress.

Honestly I'd rather be a reject than submit to their boring lifestyle. Mine is much better.

why do you think that N.T's think that "normality" is a good thing?

people generally like me even though they see immediately am very different to other people they have seen.

i have never experienced a rejection of attention from anyone i ever had to deal with, and so i know that the NT world can accept me because most of them like me.

they can even account for the fact that i can not reciprocate directly with them.
i like people in my part of the world. i think they are very nice.

i do not have any desire to associate with them however, and i guess they think that is a problem

When I was a child, my "weirdness" got me beat up and rejected. As an adult, I was rather popular for many years. Go figure!

Likewise, deviating from "normality" for the sake of some misplaced sense of rebellion regardless of where your interests and personality lie is a clear sign of stupidity and much more common (ie: normal) than most of these "rebels" care to admit.

Yeah, I agree with that. All these hipsters hating on something because it's "too mainstream" suck. I just think people should think for themselves. Conforming to nonconformity is just as bad as conforming in the first place. I don't get onto the subject of nonconformity because it hurts my brain D:



This should make you chuckle.
