Not finding your/my/our people
Anybody who isn't an a**hole is my kinda people. That goes for ND and NT.
The reason why less NTs are interested in me is because my interests differ from theirs. I'm supposed to like putting on makeup and being into fashion, but I'm happy to express my tomboy persona - although I do enjoy clothes shopping. I've just never been a girly sort of girl, which is why I get on better with men, or tomboy women, or gay women.

Please notify me if there's a spelling mistake or an obvious autocorrect error in my posts.
I wear women's clothes because I enjoy clothes shopping. I've been told that the sizes I wear are the same as sample sizes! Everything is available in my size! How you look and dress has a huge impact on how normal people interact with you. I have the highly desirable hourglass figure with a thin waist. My clothes fit exceptionally well. I've also been studying fashion for fifteen years.
I'm not afraid to talk about difficult life experiences and how I got past them. Men rarely get to confide about that.
I feel this sort of doom myself that I'll never find my own tribe of friends, because the things that bring me a sense of happiness are so different than the people around me. Something they find pleasing and meaningful, has virtually no meaning to me, and there are no happy juices in it for me to even pretend to care about. Whatever I'm interested in, they find that boring to tears. We truly live on different planets in most respects, in what it is that floats our boats. It's like the happy juices were never really "in phase", so how can we vibe together? The felt sense of priorities - beyond basic needs for survival - are all pretty much misaligned.
