[NT] Sir YES Sir! The NT's guide to falling in line:

It is no doubt from my observation that NTs have a hard time just going with the flow in groups or on occasions.

I thought it may be helpful if NTs shared some of their experiences when having to conform and their rationality behind it.

How have you learned to go with the flow?

Sometimes long term rewards (like keeping a job) means keeping your mouth shut even when your boss has a dumb idea he wants you to carry out. (short term loss by bowing to his idiocy.)

Why should anyone be compelled to conform?

Cardboard boxes aren't as comfortable as they say.

Sometimes it's playing along for the win.

And yes, if it wasn't for cardboard lovers, there would be no revolutions, that's true.

"NT's falling in lines" Is this a sexual thread ? Reminds me of a movie called "69 bottles of young wine"

Like Mad King George, I was always sane. I've just learned how to seem it.

Basic military training did it for a while, then that wore off a bit. I think the best way to "fall in line" is to align your goals so that they overlap popular standards and mutual interests.

You have porphyria too!?

There's only so much amusement a man can make with pen flares before the disaffection sets in once more.

It's not hard to get along.

Provided you are neither ignorant or arrogant.
