    NTs are allergic to direct communication, often obscuring their wants/needs/feelings for no good reason.

      There are significant benefits to indirect communication that far outweigh the benefits of direct communication. This concept is best captured by Douglas Adams in the famous

      “Meanwhile, the poor Babel fish, by effectively removing all barriers to communication between different race and cultures, has caused more and bloodier wars than anything else in the history of creation.”

        Listen Im neurodivergent I’m not mentally defective, you don’t need to explain the benefits of indirect communication to me. Rather I think some neurotypicals need the benefits of direct communication explained to them.

        There’s a time and a place for everything. I’m not saying we should all talk like robots all the time. I’m saying NTs lean too heavily on one style and get pissy when people can’t read their mind.
