Taking things very literally

Very mystic. Problem being I don't know what people mean so looking inside won't help with that.

Well keeping with the theme of this thread. That wasn't meant literally. But anyway, I have found when I asked anything really complicated online, I rarely get anyone who wants to take the time to respond. Simple random humorous things, yes people are all over it. But actual meaningful well thought out things are too much of a challenge for most. So I end up having to dumb myself down sometimes just to get reactions. But then again, I have done this in real life as well. I always know myself to be on a level noone else is on around me and don't intend on falling to theirs because it's just like anything else, changing yourself for others' benefit is out of the question for me. But sometimes it is amusing to play the nt role and crave attention through simple, boring, predictable, transparent talk . Sticking a needle in your genitals could be amusing too lol. Anyway, I'm glad I could(n't) answer your question :)
 
The reason I can't tell lies is, I think, because NTs will make themselves look believable by looking 'honest' and Aspies don't know the body language/facial expressions for 'honest', so we can't imitate them.,

I don't lie anyway, I don't have much of a conviction against it, but all the same it's something I won't do. Getting into trouble doesn't bother me that much.
