I've realized that being incapable of acting in ways which grant me social success, while witnessing almost all my neighbors suceed, and seemingly effortlessly -- while I struggle to learn such skills consciously and intellectually, has left me with the constant feeling that i'm surrounded by undeserving giants of gracefulness. Now that'd i've mastered so many of these tricks, i feel like a dog who's learned to walk and even jump like a cat.
Injustice and deeply-rooted frustration: that feeling that if only they'd ever have suffered enough misunderstanding to have had to learn to listen (NT conversation has very little listening, at least to the words), they could learn as much about themselves and psychology as each of us outsiders is forced to learn.
Most people don't appreciate themselves even, the impeccability of their instincts and the harmony they effortlessly enjoy. We Aspies are typically masters of admiration, aesthetic difference, wonder, and plumbing lethe-like mysteries: probably inherent in obsession/fixation, plus 'wrong planet syndrome.'

Anyone know what i mean?

This relates to all the responses to that thread 'Acting like an NT' -- because i do pretty much anytime i'm not alone, and it's painful -- but how much i know about them they do not! How much richer is my world because of this chasm!

You mean it's like social harmony and success can come naturally for them but they're not always "there" to enjoy or earn it? I sometime see it that way.

Interesting you likened NTs to giants. Do you see them as superior, intimidating or existing on a larger scale or something :?:

I don't see NTs as giants. They are dwarfs for me, they only "look" like giants. And, like a jerk who's got a girl he doesn't deserve, they don't deserve their "normal" life, because they haven't struggled a whit to achieve it, when we have to struggle every day.
