It takes a good amount of social skills to fake not having social skills, especially when you have decent social skills in the first place.

I hope this is a joke.

Ask for their opinion and then get upset with their answer.

Best way to mess with NTs is to confuse them.
It matters not how, or why. Whether with intentions of malice or lighthearted humor or whatnot -- or what 'risk'. To do it or not to: that's the choice.

Oh, and, to be able to mess with people AND get away with it is, in essence, a social skill. A complex one, too, because it had to take account on several things along with the utmost basic ones, in order to deliver a good one. :skull:

you're contradicting yourself. If messing with folks, and getting away with it, is such a complex social skill then folks who lack social skills (like folks autism spectrum) shouldn't attempt it.

I'm aware how complex it is -- but to actually reach said complexity isn't possible because it isn't meant to reach it consciously.
There are some work around if you have enough data for it, and the guts for it to try it out.

I never said to do the same nor try to encourage anyone to. If anything, I said the act of messing with someone it's a choice.
If you wanna discourage someone, please discourage someone else. Preferably someone you knew well enough, and I doubt it's me.

Many posters would agree they prefer not to mess with anyone, and not to be messed by anyone, and I respect that. But please :twisted:

I have my choice even if it's not recommended, I'd do it. If I regret it, let me pay and regret it. If not, let me enjoy it.

I'm asked for my opinion all the time----and the recipients get upset with me all the time!

I either say nothing at all or I am brutally honest.

It's as though I've taken a truth pill and I have to say it or else it's like a big heavy burden on me.

That part of me can confuse people sometimes.

I don't really have too much I a conscience about it either and people might find that a bit confusing.

I don't have a problem with anyone and I don't judge anyone either and I think people might get confused about that too.

I don't know, maybe I just don't give two shiny shites.

I've got a dirty job to do but someone's gotta do it.

seeing as everyone in my family is NT, most think i takes things literally all the time but thats not the case and I take advantage of it by confusing them when saying something sarcastic. I can't think of one from the top of my head but some are so ignorant its so easy to manipulate them because they are so conditioned to expect me to speak my mind and be truthful all the time but its not so funny when I try to tell a joke and they don't get it.

This thread isn't constructive.

Locked.
