I understand that it might be an uncomfortable feeling that if difficult to put into words, but can you elaborate on that?
From my perspective, the differences in experiences make it very difficult for NTs and non-NTs to relate to each others’ mental experiences. In the past, it’s had some very violent and abusive results, and while things have very much improved from then, that gap between experiences still exists and won’t likely ever go away. So I guess my real question here is why should non-NTs trust NTs in this specific area?
I can understand being concerning if you’re just talking about a lack of trust in general, which I do think is the case, too.
I am in fact referring to the general space, not any particular topic. There is a lot of othering and tribalism that I’ve observed. It’s a dangerous precedent for a community to set, regardless of what the community is focused around.
