Who tend to be more unpredictable?

Post Reply New Topic

Some NTs have told me that they find me unpredictable because of my mood swings, but I find NTs unpredictable whenever I interact with them because I can never tell how they will respond to me. Besides, NTs whom I interact with sometimes accuse me of offending them deliberately (or talk bad about me behind my back) when I don't even know what I have said or done to offend them. Even NTs themselves have told me that no two cases of social interaction are identical so just treat every social interaction as an unpredictable game that demands improvisation.

I've been told by a number of different people that I am extremely easy to predict.

I'm sure we're very predictable in most circumstances.

I'd think our superficial actions are gonna be predicted 9 times out of 10. However I sincerly doubt our minds are as easily as read as nt's.

They all generally have very simliar assoications about life. It usually comes down to ego, sex, friends, and pleasure.

For us were total wild cards, as some are asexual, get pleasure from the strangest things, may have no interest in friends, or may not be able to really have ego. This means every aspie is as different to the next.

Consdiering Stoek's response, I think the question posed by the OP needs to be clarified.

What my vote would be depends on what the OP meant. Does the OP want to know if we are more predictable as INDIVIDUALS, or as a GROUP?

There's a gigantic difference.

To the general population, it is we who are unpredictable, just like Stoek said.

Neither and both. There are some Aspies and some NTs that I can predict, more than other Aspies and NTs that I know. I think it depends on the personality, also some people are unpredictable in some ways more than others. I think just saying one group or another group is predictable or unpredictable is generalizing too much.

For me it depends on the person. I have found certain people unpredictable due to their issues. Like I know someone in real life and I find her actions to be unpredictable. She has a nasty attitude, she blows up at people and starts cursing at you for no reason and screaming at you and over reacts due to her PTSD. So I find her unpredictable because I don't know what sets her off and it feels like walking on eggshells because you have to watch what you say, better have a good memory, better be able to understand what she is saying or else she gets snippy with you. I don't even know how people are even her friend.

I also know another person online who also claims to have PTSD and she just gets nasty to people for no reason too and starts doing false accusations and sees attacks om posts that aren't even there and insults too that are also not there. She thinks everyone is manipulating her and I find her unpredictable because I don't know what will set her off. One minute she is nice and sweet and then all of a sudden she starts doing insults and being nasty to you and she denies it all. She says she is nice to people until they attack her. No she attacks people first.

Is it a coincidence or is it part of PTSD to act like this?



My husband has told me I am unpredictable because one day I am very obsessive and the next day I am not or I am flexible and then all of a sudden I am not. One day I don't mind touch and all of a sudden I don't like it or one day I get very upset over something. He doesn't know what is going to happen. That is what happens when your symptoms aren't black and white and they just come and go. Sometimes he dumbs things down when he speaks to me because he isn't sure if I will take him literal or not like for example if he tells me to cook him some pasta, he tells me to bring him a fork with it. As if I wouldn't know you need to use a fork to eat the pasta. How else would he eat it? With his fingers? But he says I sometimes do these things.
