I've noticed that the reason I do not care about so many things in the world is because it all seems so meaningless when you struggle so mightily to do basic things like communicating and connecting with others. I'm not sure that there is an NT out there that does not take these skills for granted. It is similar to being born with eyesight. Is a person really ever that grateful that they can see. Sure we all are, but we don't really think about it except maybe if we encounter a person that cannot see. So many things just seem so trivial in the world. The worst is when people complain about trivial things. I just want to laugh at them and say you don't have a clue of what it means to truly struggle. Sure, lots of people have problems that are not trivial as well.
For example, some people in America seem to be obsessed with driving around the nicest car. Or the largest, most powerful truck even though they have no practical use for it. All these status symbols. I just hate it. Part of the reason is I just think about how hard I work for my money and why would I throw it away at something so trivial. I do have a fairly new car, but it is pretty economical. And I see a great value in driving a car that is reliable. But do I want heated seats? Now that just seems so irrelevant when I struggle to feel comfortable being myself in this world for even one day.
I'm sure all of you have heard the phrase "rich people problems" or "first world problems" when shining light on the petty problems that some people seem to complain about. Some days, I'd like to rephrase it to be "NT problems".
