What's your least favorite neurotypical saying?

Post Reply New Topic

Me: I don't want to do overtime
NT coworker: Well, I've got to do it...
Yes but I'm not YOU, I'm ME, and nobody should be forced to do overtime so more fool you.

I hate it when I don't want to do something and someone else says that they have to do something they don't want to do, like they mean "if I'm doing it then you should too".

"It's obvious."

"Keep my wife's name out of your f*****g mouf."

"six of one, half a dozen of the other"
Why is it so long? Just saying "either way" is faster and easier to understand.

also

"You just have to want it hard enough."
Terrible advice. From context clues over the years, I think I have figured it out. People who say this are either:
1) highly privileged & look down on people who have less privilege
2) want you to stop talking about your problems in front of them

^^^ QFT.

Relationship words and phrases

Lover
Self-love (meaning masturbation)
Love Language
"I had a woman"
"I want to get a girlfriend"
You complete me
Head over heels (Our heads are always over our heels)
When women are told to leave abusive partners and go to shelters: "Just leave ..... "

(Sexist. ^ What if the woman owns the house? Women aren't always dependent on their partner for money. How about the abusive person gets kicked out to live in a shelter, instead of the victim? What if the woman is the abuser? Maybe the law should actually help abused women / people instead of making them homeless, which could force them to lose their children to social services ... I could go on)

Irregardless (Should be "regardless")

have your cake [IOW KEEP your cake without eating it] and eating it too are indeed contradictory, just not in a commonly understood way.

"Low/high functioning"
"Has autism"
"Suffers from autism"
"Struggles with ___ due to autism"
"Has an obsession with (called a hobby if it's an NT person)"

"He's not suffering anymore"
"He wouldn't want you to be sad"

"I literally died" - Don't I wish?
"First" - always seeing this on YouTube. So what, you're expecting a trophy or something?

I know how you feel! If she has a "neckbeard", she must be a "redneck", but you should just ignore it ... and "get over it". At least she's not a "Karen". Irregardless ... if you're "head over heels" for her don't worry, just be happy! Have you tried "mindfulness" or visualising her clean-shaven? Maybe you could get some other girlfriends and have some other women if things don't "work out" with your lover. Everything happens for a reason.

Don't take this the wrong way, but maybe it's reverse-sexism for you to speak up against beards.

With all due respect, but you should relax and get a good's night's sleep.

I'm autistic and I've had two strokes but I've had lots of lovers so you'll get more too.
