I swear I need to get a body cam so that when my wife says, “I told you that already” I can go back through the footage to find out for sure.
Thank you for articulating my thoughts and feelings. Story of my life, that. Also: “I’m neurotypical, so I will take what you said, twist in into something you never said or even thought and happily proceed to respond to that twisted thing and not what you literally said. That’s how normal people behave, yes”
Probably. Never thought about it this way, but it does make sense of many things I saw no reason in before
Once I realized it, I stopped being surprised at the state of the world. I cannot treat NT people the same way I can be with ND people. They less honest, and more flexible in their morals when it suits them.
I think this is why I love the Netherlands so much. People are just direct! Not once have I thought people were rude. If this is an issue for you, I would definitely recommend a place like Amsterdam.
And omg the trams…
Sounds more like a Midwesterner
I wonder how the idea of ask v guess culture intersects with neurotypical and not. Are more NT people “guess culture”?
