    Are Aspies and NTs natural opposites?

    Hmm.

    Are Aspies and NTs natural opposites?

    I don't see Aspies and NTs as differently at all outside of communication and sensory traits. They're both prone to thinking they speak for their whole group, they both tend to see everything as us vs them with their social units, they both tend to think their group shares their traits and...

    do you have contempt for other people

    It's largely apathy, because I can't connect to them and don't feel we have much to offer each other. I definitely have contempt for lazy people, especially when it comes to creative pastimes and especially because I've spent so much time studying, practicing, and working. I figure if someone...

    What was the last movie you watched?

    Watchmen... twice. A disturbing amount of movie time.

    Do they like talking to you?

    All the time. I've learned good social habits but I'm really bad at gauging how people are responding and feeling in an emotional sense. Some people on Skype I talk to say I sound normal and friendly, but I'm still surprised to hear that they consider us close even though I consider myself close...

    Any Writers?

    Horror is an excellent genre. I prefer short fiction and novellas, though. I tend to get lost in trying to plan for novels and fleshing them out with enough content to keep something that long afloat.

    Have you ever been discouraged or critisized for your hobby or interest?

    Hobbies aren't meant to be a job, so usefulness outside of bringing pleasure or benefit of some kind doesn't matter. Most of my time goes to writing or reading, and there's a lot of rejection involved in getting published. One small magazine didn't even take the time to respond. Others have...

    Special interest as a form of relaxation

    Sometimes they're relaxing, sometimes they're not. Mostly, they're my life, my companions, my pride, my joy, my pain, and my keys to human interaction. I'm friendly and not too awkward (confirmed by many NTs), but am unable to make friends.

    What are your current obsessions?

    Game design and writing currently.

    Plant Lovers? Gardeners?

    My cilantro is enormous. I'm about to put some in quesadillas.

    What song are you listening to right now?

    Not usually my genre, but I've been loving this lately.

    Good enough...

    I think it's low self-esteem, which anyone can have. In my case I know I'm both plain and weird, and that not a lot of guys actually like girls who want to talk about Linux and Stanislaw Lem. Not a lot of women are into that, either.

    The shamanic view of mental illness

    Regardless of whether or not spirits are real, the emotional, social, and psychological effects of these practices are obviously capable of reaching some people who otherwise wither away in institutions.

    Current book(s) you're reading?

    Kim Stanley's 2312. A sci-fi novel where humanity lives all over the solar system. I only read The Road, but it piqued my interest in McCarthy.

    What do you like to collect?

    Nothing, but I have been bringing home a lot of mugs and espresso cups from coffee shops I like this past year. Hmm...
