Same for me as well. There were many times growing up when our electricity was shut off and many days & nights where I had to “eat sleep for dinner” because we couldn’t afford food. Especially when my dad lost his job at the ford dealership he worked in during the 2008 recession. we moved from apartment to apartment abd I went to so many different schools. I used to be extremely NT as a kid. But eventually losing friends and becoming the new kid so many times fucks up your head.
it's called growing up. I was also a very extraverted kid and turned introvert, yet I didn't have the issues you're talking about
Because of looks insecurity or because of actual psychological reasons? It’s already proven that poor/subpar socialization can affect NTness and cause things like social anxiety. It’s not always because of Autism.
Because I simply feel better being with myself than with others. I don't have psychological issues and i'm not insecure with my looks.
Maybe it does, but it's pointless to say "I'm not NT because X" when you don't really know how you'd turn out if it weren't for those factors. I put myself as an example of someone who avoided all this and still lost NTness.
