I notice there is a lot of bitterness in the vein of "Why did [so and so] react badly when i did/said [this]? NT's make no sense, I hate them."

Even if the "hate" bit is an exaggeration, that bitterness creeps into your interactions with people and people pick up on it. I always try to be friendly and positive to everyone; I can think of several times when that's changed a possible "Wow, he's creepy" or "What an as*hole" reaction to a "He's just a little awkward" or "He just put his foot in his mouth." If people have a negative first impression of you, they'll be more likely to read negativity into your actions. If people have a good first impression, they'll be more likely to "excuse" your quirks.
