I've got a theory on NTs. They are total narcissists, in that tgey only can care about their own emotional state. To a NT, the problem of the coming omnicide isn't a problem because of the death and destruction already in the mail. It's a problem because it's hard to block out awareness of that, and that messes up their current emotional state, interfering with their ability to live life the way they want. 1/
@poloniousmonk@actuallyautistic Everything reading "NTs" and "Narcissists" in the same sentence just shouts so loudly "I READ POP PSYCHO POSTS ON THE WEB AND DON'T UNDERSTAND ANYTHING OF THE SUBJECT I'M TALKING ABOUT". So thanks for waving this red flag so high.
I have a theory on overgeneralization: it's useless, misleading and usually just plain false, and apart from antagonizing people, it doesn't achieve anything.
After that, we tell them "when you've met one autist, you've met only one autist, we're all different".

I have a simple question: would you write the same message about another whole group, like, idk, "black people" or "gays" or "trans" and still find it correct ?
Every living being care about themselves. Some so hard that they live alone and meet another individual only for mating. Others like primates chose the herd way through evolution. Saying NTs are all selfish is like saying autistics are all deprived of empathy.
This is a fresh thought and may not pan out, but it seems on first glance to hold water universally. Anything an NT does that baffles the likes of us, especially all the shitty stuff, can be explained thus. They only care about their own emotions. From the outside it looks like they care about other stuff, but that caring is just a reflection of how they feel.
@poloniousmonk@actuallyautistic
no complaints
just Narcissist is to NT is as NT is to Autist
that is to say, one of God's fools can make a narcissist of a normal person 😀
