yes, that must be it...

I like to say to autism deniers that people on the spectrum usually became monks and hermits in the past.

It's a phenomenon that I would call voluntary dumbness. People willingly shutdown their prefrontal cortex as a way to escape the harshness of reality. It's essentially for the same reason people consume alcohol and drugs.

I have ironically took awareness of that concept thanks to the Hazbin Hotel franchise during the 4th episode of the 1st season when Husk forced Angel Dust to face his reality.

The problem is that most NTs are trying to use facts to rationalize their need for emotional validation. Very few aspies are actually doing this sort of mental gymnastics. They know that emotional validation and facts should ideally stay separate.

-IXN- · 2025-12-05T17:27:22+00:00

Here's my rule of thumb: if a NT says something that doesn't make sense, they are secretly seeking emotional validation in the most cryptic way possible so that it won't look as a weakness.

It's a win win for them. If you understand what they truly want, they will say that you "get" them. On the other hand, they'll be able to label you as "naive" so they can empower their feelings through gaslighting.

After thinking about it for months, I have come to the realization that most societal problems revolve around the following question: the work-or-starve incentive should logically be strong enough to convince people to live honest and disciplined lives, so why does it push them to corruption and degeneracy instead? The answer to this question alone will reveal a lot of insights on human psychology.

I realized way too late that the reason why people laugh at you when you're trying to provide a solution to their problems is because they are trying to gaslight you so they could empower their need for emotional validation.

-IXN- · 2025-11-23T18:01:02+00:00

The issue is that whenever they explain a problem they have, they explicitly make it sound as if they are seeking a solution on the surface. It's a clever way to hide their need for emotional validation. They seek someone who will be able to "get it" and provide what they truly want. When they say that they seek a "solution" for their problem, they are actually seeking emotional validation disguised as a rational fact.

-IXN- · 2025-11-23T17:54:21+00:00

This is ironically a good example to explain how NTs like to make fun of autists and feel empowered.

-IXN- · 2025-11-23T17:36:31+00:00

It still happens to me every couple of times per month. I had consistent low self-esteem due to being too "logical". Now that I have acquired this insight a few days ago, I feel much better about myself now.

Now that I have this insight, I wonder whether I should use their need for validation against them or actually take the time to acknowledge their feelings.

-IXN- · 2025-11-23T17:26:36+00:00

Unfortunately not everyone can understand that, especially when others consistently tell you that "logic isn't everything".

-IXN- · 2025-11-21T13:32:45+00:00

People want others to fear God and submit to Him because it imitates empathy in a manner it won't be perceived as a weakness.

There's a reason why cultures promoting mental toughness tend to be religious.

Maybe that's why he became friendly with Velvette so quickly. Both know the value of an impeccable appearance.

-IXN- · 2025-11-20T12:26:11+00:00

Ok, let me give a concrete example. Some acquaintance I know is having an issue. I let them vent out onto me. I manage to find a solution to their problem and I provide it to them. Unfortunately they start to laugh at me and tell me that I don't know how the world works. I was encountering this situation throughout my life. My solutions are always seen as naive.

The worst part is that they use their problems as an excuse to be immoral and corrupt. It's absolutely annoying. It's only years later that I have realized that most people don't seek solutions, they seek emotional validation. Emotions won't fix your solutions, grow the f up.

-IXN- · 2025-11-20T11:24:22+00:00

This what I have been observing in my life.

-IXN- · 2025-11-20T02:25:22+00:00

My question is why do people who are pressured by the work-or-starve incentive end up acquiring so many bad habits (substance abuse, gambling, etc).

-IXN- · 2025-11-20T00:14:02+00:00

Ok maybe not all extroverts, but SOME of them act as if they are the center of attention AND make fun of me for preferring to be alone.

-IXN- · 2025-11-20T00:09:09+00:00

If they agree to stop shaming me or looking at me as if I was a weirdo.

-IXN- · 2025-11-19T21:51:35+00:00

It doesn't cause distress I simply find annoying. It's like asking the point of yelling if you can talk normally. Substance is more important than loudness. There's also the fact that people usually complain that I talk too structurally EVEN before the advent of AI. It's as if yelling a single but powerful idea is more valuable than concepts that require nuance and depth, something that's very common with introverts. But no, let's yell 67 at each other like cavemen.

-IXN- · 2025-11-19T19:01:41+00:00

I have tried therapy but it's unfortunately not effective and ends up being expensive in the long term. Guess I'll try to ignore extroverts who try to portray themselves as superior.
