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”
NT people are built to lie and manipulate.
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.
You must live a very miserable life to come to this conclusion.

Two funny things that happened to me.
-
I shared a link to a friend about an event based on their hobby. They said “See you at 9am”. We then spent a strange hour texting back and forth, trying to clear up the “mixed messages” that I am not attending the event.

At a co-working space, a guy spends 10 minutes talking about a YouTube video he saw. He then proceeds to go to the white board, and in detail, write the ENTIRE URL of the YouTube video, and whatever extra stuff. I’m talking about a 60 character link, handwritten, and requested everyone watch it themselves, so there’s no confusion.
Gotta love it.
You only ever had two funny things happen to you?
My goodness how do you stay sane?
(It honestly took me a few seconds to realize you were not being literal. I hope.)
That is my life.
And one time, I saw a blimp!

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.
For a kitbash contest I made a little bracelet that recorded a 10 minute constant audio loop and it would save the last ten seconds whenever you shook it hard. I feel this could be a product for people like us
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…I once went to Greece and the BnB host flat out told me I was there at the wrong time of year and my vacation could have been a lot better. I found it oddly refreshing.
