Making friends with NT women - some help needed.

Post Reply New Topic

I have couple of really good female friends but otherwise I find making friends with other more gender typical women difficult at times. most of them dont have particularly strong interests in particular areas (apart from, if they have children, their children which is right and good but i cnat relate as i dont have children) and that makes conversation difficult. also some of them are obsessed with the fact that I am thin (UK size 6 - or US size 2) and always reference that a lot in conversations which makes me feel uncomfortable. I dont undrstand it. It confers me no benefit with the opposite sex also they are much more into ancedotes and small talk which I find difficult.

Can anyone else relate. What are the most interesting topics for the average NT woman? I would like to get to know a few more of them. I think it benefits to know different types of people in your social circle.

Yes, I can relate. That's not a personality type, that's the result of being shoe-horned into the feminine gender role since birth - vanity, shallowness, air-headedness, likely combined with the anti-intellectualism promoted by society, depending on where you live. The only personality component involved in the development of such a person would be "tendency to conform." It seems you don't particularly enjoy their company. I would advise you to expose yourself to them for informational purposes only, as they can be toxic.

yes, an interesting observation. It does appear that way. The types of conversations are often about agreeing with some not very interesting assertions; I much prefer dissection, analysis and argument.
I just wonder if it would benefit to be friends with those types of people if anything so that they support rather than mock me as often happens,
