MODERATORS
I think most people who have it figure this out pretty quickly. NT normies feel like they accept the world completely at face value by comparison and it can cause a lot of friction
I was regularly told to stop asking “too many” questions in class when I was a kid.
When I was in the army, my sergeant's favorite phrase was " elucubra, don't think", which looking back is kind of ironic, as I was in a scout unit, and we were expected to go behind enemy lines and think outside the box to find ways for the company to breach the lines.
Got slammed for asking why for context. Ended up in the O room for “being too smart”
