Smalltalk-bomb, huh? I really like the term!
Smalltalk-bombs; measured in minutes rather than megatons :wink:

Their social group is every NT's intense interest, as far as I can tell. So just think of it like someone talking to you about trains when you're not into trains, or something like that.


That analogy is good up to a point.
Because EVERY NT in the world will assume without a doubt that you *will* find the topic very interesting!
If I meet someone I've got to say to myself; "They won't be interested in Uranium glass or D&D Miniatures or microbiology untill you ask and they say "definitely!".

The NT's just assume without fail and go on and on, which can be really similar to AS special interests, :lol:
