Anyone else feel some NT's actively dislike you for no reason?

This is something that I have struggled with sometimes and it seems to happen especially with some NT women. My main case is in a job I worked at, this particular woman who was a customer and about the same age as me was incredibly rude to me for no reason, yet friendly to other staff. I never did anything to this person only be perfectly polite and professional. Saw this woman just today and again, daggers looks thrown at me for no reason. This has happened quite often throughout my life and I have never been able to understand it especially when I am not hostile or rude to these people. Can anyone relate?

I can't see the link to the Nature article. Can someone reshare it?

I used to get called stuck up quite a lot. I think it was because I was (am) quiet and only join in a conversation if I have something interesting to say. I can't do small talk at all.

Bizarre being called stuck up when my family is totally working class, Dad a miner, none of us went to university and I can't hold down a job 🙈

Being called stuck up is another one in that I am also quiet most of the time and have an RP accent. That and the fact if there is anything that I AM an expert on I do not hold back - therefore I'm out of the 'shy' box.

I saw something on Reddit that some NT women dislike ND women since some ND women do not have the levels of internalized misogyny that they have. I never felt that men are superior or that in reality I am supposed to do that - my observations show that isn't true, but I still found that many girls at school seemed to see me as a wierd threat. I was either a wierdo for talking to boys as I would girls or a lesbian because I didn't have a desire for a boyfriend. EIther way, I cannot win.

THing is I am bisexual - more demisexual so the jokes on them!

Absolutely. People just do not like me.

Another one here who gets called stuck up. By my own family and previous boyfriends. I've been told I think I'm better than everyone else. It's not true. Lots of jealousy regarding being the baby of the family and going to uni. Possibly something to do with internalising my grandmothers love of a properly laid table and manners. Lots of chips on shoulders and misogyny in my family. It was ok until I started having opinions and my thinking is typically black and white. I find people like he superficially but they don't want to get to know me. Think I have fuck off written on my forehead 😁
Books are good. Books don't judge. Cats are great but they are judgemental fuckers although they still show unconditional love at a baseline level. Tuna equals more love.

How on earth can you know if they are NT? I always used to assume it but now I know people could be NT, ND or suffering from personality disorders, mental illnesses, etc

Yes. I have spent all my life school, work, social having people (generally women) take a dislike to me. I know have a lovely group of friends, but still occasionally get someone who makes me feel like I am back at school being bullied. Recently it's been a school mum who just decides she doesn't like me and ignores me.

I was speaking to a psychiatrist for work about neurodiversity. He was saying how children are made to go through various assessments, need for MDT meetings and professionals often disagree, and maybe you should go into the playground because 9 times out of 10 the class has effectively identified that individual.
