NT women behaviors

Post Reply New Topic

Ugh, tell me about it. I'm gay as well, and I know exactly what you mean! I remember in school it was usually awkward because my friends were often unsure how to approach me when it came to embraces.

There was this one girl who knew I was gay, and she hugged me because she was happy that day, and it took me by surprise because my other female friends didn't tend to hug me. Her twin sister said it was weird because I was gay, and pointed out to her that others might think that she was gay as well if she showed too much physical attention to me.

My other female friends would usually hug each other and then turn to me, and give me a slight nod of respect or a fist bump or something.

I'm straight and have had numerous female friends that were gay. We hugged and it was not awkward. Of course I never gave sexual orientation a thought.

This isn't normal NT behaviour. This woman has issues.

I've worked with NT women who haven't behaved so immaturely

Hurtloam, I have experienced quite a few NT women like this, but this one chick is by far the worst offender at all of these things. For some reason this chick directs a lot of this behavior at me.

I agree -- over-generalizing all women is sexist. I think there are other issues at hand here. I've worked with people like that and to my experience this has less to do with NT women being women but more with power dynamics in a dysfunctional workplace/community/etc.

I find it incredibly hard to deal with dishonesty and gossip. Feels like others are always two step ahead of me while I'm dragging behind. On the plus side I'm trying not to give these things too much thought. I tend to ignore all the social drama and focus on the work/things I need or want to get done.

Edit2: Now I get it. This post was directed at women. Nevermind.

It's been said NT men can do this but Elaine probably wanted to bring up women being she's female. Look at the context.

True there are so many wonderful NT women out there. It just takes a few duds to make us fearful. Nice NT women stay away from the mean ones. NTs are better equipped at that.

I focused on the NT females because I am female and deal mostly with NT females at church and work. I had no intention of being sexist.

NT bashing is an -ism which isn't allowed on this forum.

There are many nice NTs out there.

The headaches we've had to deal with in workplace and church aren't that way because they're NT. They're just shallow, insecure control freaks who pick on anyone who is different to them. Sometimes we forget the other NTs because the drama queens demand all the attention.

My first office job was very dysfunctional. Mostly women who had all sorts of drama. I didn't last long there.

There's been a few other nutcases over the years. I find it best to limit interaction with them and just let them rant themselves out if they are in a mood.
