So over the course of my life I have noticed that my friends, mostly girls, will not let me talk to their friends. Sometimes I cause drama, or they have told me things that other people do not know and I don't know. Or they don't want me talking to their boyfriends. even though they still want me to be tier best friend.
So now I have a friend who I have dated a few times and we are just friends and she has a boyfriend who she constantly hides our relationship from and all of her friends hate me for basically being a confused aspie trying to communicate my feelings and hurting her. But despite all of this she claims I am her best friend.
So I recently found out the blog names of a couple that she knows but has never met, but just talks to online, and she tells me about them but doesn't want us to communicate at all. a few weeks ago I told her that I looked at her boyfriends face book and she got very offended that i kept up with him, but this just seems like a smart thing to do, especially on a public thing where they just flaunt information. and now when i mentioned having these people blogs, but said i was not contacting them or letting them know i was even looking she got super defensive telling me i cannot look at there blogs or talk to them.
I am very confused as to why she will not let me meet any of her friends or anything. I know that she likes me, and might be jealous of me having friendships with other people, but I like being kind and friendly to everyone. I like being friends with other people but she doesn't want me to be friends with any of her friends. I feel like she is hiding me in the closet. She even said she did not trust me because About a year ago i was friendly an talked to her ex-friend/mortal enemy. It's like there are certain people I am not aloud to be nice to or there for because she doesn't like them and this makes no sense to me. I want to be kind to everyone even people who treat me badly. and be there for them when they need a friend.
Either way she seems mortified of the thought of me becoming friends with any of her friends like I would betray her? or i might spend time with them or something? there have been multiple times that she tells me i will be able to meet them then just stops talking to me until the chance is passed. I mean I do know more about her than anyone else but she doesn't trust me.
It is like i feel she has said things to them that she has not told me. or said things about me to them, or things to me about them that she wasn't supposed too. I used to worry about this so i just started being honest with everyone. If I say something I say it politically. but I still feel like she is hiding stuff. not event hat I think she is, but it makes me really uneasy that she is so careful to not let me talk to anyone else, that she hides me so well. Kind of like, I trust her but then she tells me I can't talk to them and I don't think she has been lying to me, but it makes me worried that she is so defensive or desperate for me not to talk to her friends.
Then she asked me how I would feel if she hung out with my only other friend and I told her it was fine and I thought they talked already. I try to get my friends to talk to each other all the time but they just don't share interests. So when she asked, "Well how would you feel if i went to hang out with your friend ___ or played Xbox with him?" And I said that would be fine and I would expect her too in fact i thought she texted him already. and she got upset and hung up on me.....
So i remember that the reason i used to not let me friends talk to each other was because i was afraid they might tell the other one something i had lied about or not told the other one. so now that she doesn't want me too i feel she has been doing this. But i trust that she hasn't but i am beginning to question my trust. she is an old friend and i enjoy my time with her.
Sorry for the wall of text but here is my question: Do NT's normally do this? or just to us aspies? I am not to offended that she doesn't trust me cause is crew up a lot. But she claims to be proud of how I am in public, yet she never lets me meet her friends. Is this normal for aspies?
And: Why is it so unacceptable to look up public information about someone or things someone has said in order to gather more information about that person when ever you know you cannot meet them? I mean anything I put online is public and people can see so I am careful about it. Why is it so wrong for me to look at things that other people post and share, especially when that person is in the life of someone close to me? I cannot understand why it is wrong to look at my friends friends facebooks? or blogs?
Thanks for taking the time to read this.

As far as I can tell, people (NT or not) maintain separate circles of acquaintances based on areas of interest or work/ class environment. For instance I have my moped people, music people, church people and my ABDL friends online, and a few people from here. It would be very awkward to say the least if I were to introduce my church friends to the ABDL friends (unless it was on the grounds of another mutual interest), I have had a few crossover events where I discovered someone in the moped community was also a musician and my late friend was a musician who would introduce other guitarists to me and vice-versa. Very seldom would I interact with the others without including our mutual correspondent unless he declined participating. It's never been my nature anyway to contact the other parties first, I've just assumed it's bad form. As far as pertaining to L-and-D; doesn't every partner want to be the one who makes the introductions and sets the terms of extramural relationships? Doing something like posting on the BF's social media page is bound to get both of them mad at you
