    NTs when you say you wish social rules were either explained more explicitly or else your worth as a human being wasn’t tied to correctly following them:

    Sorry that’s literally impossible. Also its not that bad, you just need to try harder. I have no idea why so many of you kill yourselves.

    NTs after a few months of living in another country where the rules are different:

    Depression, panic attacks, sometimes even full on mental breakdowns.

      Ironically, I’m better than my peers at getting along in other countries… Because I’m used to looking for the unwritten rules.

      I’ve had to explain other peoples’ behaviors to my peers at work because they havent had to study how to act like I have. Most people just never talk about this stuff.
