I hate it when whenever I state a fact that is to be taken literally and informatively, the person takes the fact and misinterprets it.
They put all this meaning into it that it never had, turning it into something that I never said, and then getting all offended at their own misperceptions.
A very simplistic, though slightly exaggerated, example:
Me: My favorite color is purple.
Person: (*Thinking*: Purple symbolizes envy, sensuality, wealth, royalty, nobility, wisdom, arrogance, flamboyance, gaudiness, profanity, exaggeration, confusion, homosexuality, and pride.)
Oh, so you're saying that you are a manipulative lesbian whore who craves attention and likes to start drama. And you think you're better than everyone else!
F**k you, b***h.
Maybe some NTs do think this way, but this seems excessively specific and frankly odd. This person would be making many loaded assumptions. I'd just assume purple is a typically feminine color (as is pink).
