Nor do I understand obsessions with Justin Beiber (the only time I actually bothered to pay attention to him was when that woman claimed that Justin Beiber was her son's father) or the Kardashians.
| Quote: | | Finally, what is it with chronic mispronunciation?? Can people not distinguish between the alveolar nasal approximant and the velar nasal stop??? And what about substituting a vowel for a rhotic consonant??? There is no rest with the NT's verbal errors!!! |
And that's why I go all grammar Nazi on my mom...
| Quote: | | I don't understand having idols or obsessions with celebrities. People fainting when they see someone 'famous' etc. will always baffle me. And then of course the same as ECJ said, why people say one thing and do something completely different. |
When you say obsessions... What do you mean? Like 'Famous Renaissance Artist' (Leonardo da Vinci) obsessions or 'Serbian Scientists' (Nikola Tesla) obsessions? 'Cause I'm under the impression that only applies to celebrities. And if it does, it's not like their trying to make life better for the common people... Seeing as how human beings can only do so much to make life easier.
Then again... Nikola Tesla was a Serbian-American scientist and he invented the Alternating Current and he also had an Earthquake machine... I'm starting to wonder if he even is human. |

Then in that case, Wrong Planet would have been perfect for him!

WHY DO PEOPLE PLAY HARD TO GET??? |
Possible that someone's already answered this (I'm too lazy to read the entire thread), but the reason people do it is simply because some (not all) people enjoy it. It's like a game. It's especially popular with NT females, because they enjoy the thrill of the chase (in general - as with everything else there are exceptions).
Of course it can be hard for men to judge if their potential target (for lack of a better word) likes the thrill of the chase, so some men just default to playing hard to get from the outset. Some females do it too, but males seem to enjoy this tactic less than their female counterparts.
In general females like to play around first, males like to cut to the case. |

Every concept that is and is not NT I understand. I could say I don't understand what socializing is, but that's not true. I cant get the concept in practice, because the rules change according to a context I can't clearly see. Everyone picks up the rules immediately, I either over-intellectualize them or don't see them at all. Whatever I do, it seems its mere chance that I do somethign right. 
I'm not a misanthropist though, I'm more angry at my lineage than at the world. |

Neurotypical, a person without any genetic deficits or disorders. Your right this place needs a glossary somewhere  |

| Thanks acentupleflat! I don't understand the purpose of makeup when it just covers up who you naturally are. Don't see the purpose of getting your nails done, just can't really see guys being impressed by this. Expensive purses and clothing with a logo splashed on it just seems silly. Mothers dressing there little girls up like there 20 years old for beauty pageant's is really wrong in so many ways. I don't get why celebrities make more money then a firefighter, police officer, teacher, doctor, military, and so on. Having plastic surgery just to look like all other woman who have it. Having botox so your face can look tight and scary. |

Same here...I watch TV/movies to escape reality not delve deeper into it.
Why people want to face this vain and selfish world all day at school/work,and then come home to watch strangers do more of the same is beyond my understanding.
Lets see...I don't know why people (especially women) say they want one thing,and then go for the opposite.Even if it is self destructive they seem to prefer thrills and danger over stability and kindness.Being so called 'boring' in this world is the social kiss of death. |

Botox: In my honest opinion, makes people's faces look like plastic.
Nails: I don't see why either... No one pays attention to nails... Do they?
Make-Up: Makes my skin crawl...
Expensive Purses: IKR! It's just a purse! No one really cares about the logo (well, at least I don't)...
Beauty Pagents: So, I take that you don't like Miss America? Just asking ('cause I saw one episode of Toddlers and Tiaras, and I had to turn my TV off)...
How about these G-Shock watches? I don't get those either! |

Why is hearing a baby cry for a few seconds or even for a minute ruin their rest of the time in a restaurant? All of a sudden their meal is ruined. Even if the mother got her baby out of there, someone's meal is still ruined because suffering for a few seconds ruined their whole outing there. 
I don't think this is really an NT thing, it's more of an idiotic thing and I don't get it. I know not everyone is like this because I'm not. This seems to be a childfree trait. This is something I don't get about the childfree. It's like they see things in black and white and if one little thing goes wrong, they had a bad time despite all the good stuff of not seeing any misbehaved children or screaming babies and toddlers for long periods of the time but yet they only heard a baby cry for a few seconds and bam their meals were ruined so they keep their focus on that for why their time out was bad. Hey I know, black and white thinking is also a childfree trait.  |

There was a kid in McDonald's that had a temper tantrum and some people started complaining... I just kept eating my food (because I am a) used to it because my brother has temper tantrums and b) it didn't bother me). |

My main thing, I wonder how NTs get through life seemingly with no thought process about anything at all. Like instead of their actions being planned, everything they do is just a reaction. They very rarely can explain "why" they actually do anything they do at all. That's my big separation for "NTs" my friend with Aspergers, before I even got my diagnosis or even thought about the possibility of me having it, we had a big talk, and we sorta just came to the conclusion that most people seem to just not "think."
In some ways, though, their thought process, or lack of it, benefits them. I'd really like to know how their not thinking thought process works, it just perplexes me, because my thought process is apparently very analytic about literally everything according to everyone else.
-------------------
I think as far as specific behaviors or whatever, I don't tend to fault people so much if they can explain why they do them. Like I tend to wear "preppy" clothes I buy at Salvation Army for like no money, and to me, it's a really great idea. The clothes fit well, they look good, and I can get used preppy clothes for less money than "nerdy" clothes with "nerd" stuff on them. Some preppy clothes, I specifically like the materials and build better. Like, American Eagle boxers are the finest boxers I've ever tried. Hanes boxers I need a medium, and American Eagle, I can take the small, as the American Eagle has larger leg holes. So, I've never had an "NT" explain exactly why they would say, wear preppy clothes. They just sort of have this thought process of "just because" and to me it's never an adequate reason for doing stuff. To an extent, the ultimate "NT" thought process is in the movie Idiocracy. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-Vw2CrY9Igs That's the biggest example of this thought process here.

Even worse than this is their aversion to thought. Why do I have to be the thinker in a group project? I know I like doing the more intellectual work, but is it not possible for others to think?
