How much effort should be made to fit in?

I'm surprised, when you're the one usually trying to tell us why it's smart to try to fit in!

Greentea, let me tell ya my perspective based on personal experience: work for yourself.

forget trying to fit in; just do things right and responsibly, and do things to promote your own life. If others don't like it, that's their problem, and much like with most other people, they will have an issue with it.

The majority of NTs I meet seem mostly concerned about shooting off their mouths to other people til they've had their daily cups of Joe, then start shooting their mouths off about "important things" such as the economy, or what have you. Get 'em later at night, it's all about sex and drinking.

If you're so worried about impressing them, then chances are it's not right for you, and you're better off doing something else.

Well apparently they can't remember something until they hear it nine times and they don't understand what you mean when you say exactly what you mean. You have to come at everything all sideways and it turns my head sideways to do it. It is like standing on your head though, fun in short controlled situations, do it too long or too often and you get nothing but pain.

Who drinks? That just hit me, people drink so much everywhere around me, that can't be doing great things for their retention abilities. I can drink to fit in and don't even notice a buzz just drinking enough to not get people bugging me about not drinking. I just get dehydrated. You learn tons of stuff that people then have no idea how you know it because heck, if everyone was a little sloshed and it takes hearing something more than once to retain it sober, surely nobody knows what I said last night any better than I do.

trying to "fit in" all the time is not worth the effort.

Inventor said it all, his post was positively brilliant. Savant level brilliant.
