Does anyone else view NT's as fake?..

I truly mean no offense by this...and its not a blanket statement....but ,for some reason, i see the mannerisms and speech of NT's as fundamentally fake....in a general sense...And i think its actually the ego im bothered by....And of course, i have ego also....but i think its displayed in a whole different way with Autism spectrum...

Ive only just got my finger on this...and not fully expounding, (not feeling physically great today) but i hope you all catch what im trying to say.

    If you place yourself on too high a pedestal, you leave yourself vulnerable to ridicule.

    dunno, ive seen quite a few people on this site with major ego problems that eclipse anyone id ever have dreamed of tbh lol

    literally other day had a guy on here making out hes the smartest man in history and has nobel peace prizes and is super man and everyone else is trash compared to him and hes the single most greatest brain on the planet who all the world leader know him on a first name basis and praise him and say he should rule the world... so yeah, thats ego beyond anything i have ever even dreampt possible and that was from a person on this site lol so not entirely sure ego is a NT problem, but rather a problem of perception. the person drumming himself up like that perhaps didnt see how that sounded to others and that was a ND issue to not see how inappropriate and weird all that stuff sounded.

    I was too competitive with Classmates, at school, and was cutting to them. My behaviour was learned from TV and my Family. Of course, I wanted to be an entertainer as a child. But God had other plans.

    I have observed my friends collectively act differently to when I see them individually.  I love them to bits but it can sometimes become a competition between them in varying degrees. And I notice people say contradictory things when we are in a group as to when it's just me and one other, or there are little white lies / bigging themselves up. I also notice that some people make things out to be bigger than what they are (mountains out if molehills) in order to get some social status (eg a b&b I stayed in which the owners had done up. "Oh it was horrendous when we bought the place" so I checked on Rightmove and it really wasn't...).

    I often don't feel others are fake but I can feel suspicious of others as I think it takes me longer to work some people out.

    Yes of course.  I learned to copy them!

    They're as fake as their tan. Slight smile

    Yes - I'm an engineer - I work with cold, hard facts & reality all the time.    Dealing with NTs is hard work because of their constant lies and need for social approval.    

    Some are so fake that I just cannot interact with them - there's no basis for a relationship with someone if everything they say is either an outright lie, a manipulation of the truth or a promise they probably won't keep.

    All the time.

    I think it is because telling little white lies is a part of normal social communication.  And many autistics don't get that.
