When NTs talk about themselves all day long and we try to empathize with them we are told we are self-centered.

When we mention one tiny part of our life to NTs, we are told we are self-centered.

When we voice a need to an NT, we are told we are self-centered.

Interesting.

Another reason I don't seek friendships with allists.
I need friends who correctly interpret my relating to their struggle with a similar one of my own as a display of "Here is how closely I can understand your situation". (And my autistic friends, on occasion, have used that to realize I didn't quite grasp it! Makes it a lot easier to be helpful when I clearly know what they're struggling with)
