Neurotypicals sell out their authenticity to fit in with the herd

[Chives99]

I'm speaking very broadly here, but people have called me cute and boyish before because I like to have fun, spontaneous , curious and get a lot of enjoyment out of life. It seems that conformity has made a lot of people too serious and boring, but to be part of their club you cant be yourself as you have to blend in with the herd. Thats why ive never fitted in entirely within a group because i dont want to be a square, i like spiritual groups as they celebrate diversity and uniqueness. Dont get me wrong you can be serious when you need to such as when working or organising etc but I dont think life should be taken so seriously we arent here for very long so enjoy it.

All my life I’ve noticed this seriousness about people, i notice it everywhere I go. I don’t know if it’s a neurotypical quality or something else but maybe this is kind of what you are referring to also

I wonder if neuro typicals find dating easier because they're more generic and can easily relate to each other but that comes at the cost of your individuality . There's trade offs

Well if you date neurotypicals then for sure it’s easier if you yourself are neurotypical so yea 

I think a lot of people genuinely desire that connection to the norm/society so for them it doesn’t feel like a sacrifice to “fit in” . But for us oh no connection is worth more than our individuality right ?

By calling others neurotypical, I'm assuming you are on the spectrum OP?  Autism or Aspergers?

NT personalities are usually what you're describing  -- as in curious, having fun, spontaneity etc -- they have that side to them in ranges.  Some a lot more than usual and some a lot less.  

Unless you got your definition or understanding of what NT is, it doesn't make sense what you're saying.

Neurotypicals are authentically typical

@hoodrow trillson

what im getting at is that they bully each other to fit in , otherwise you'll be marginalized.
