Sorry that you feel depressed btw. If you think some people around you are manipulating you, using you etc maybe you should find new people. Non-NTs who can understand you, trust you and can be honest with you. People who share your interests and would be willing to do stuff together, rather than treating you like an NPC.

I usually feel the exact opposite. That I am the only actual player (maybe along with a few of my aspie-type friends) and the majority (normies? NTs? "them"?) are like NPCs: devoid of actual thought or character, just repeating what they are told.

I know it's not a healthy way of looking at life either so I'm trying to find ways to get rid of this discriminatory thought. Maybe I've been around non-NTs too much and should get into more NT-majority social circles. I think we all should balance our social circles with some more neurodiversity instead of full NT or full aspie types. Teaches how to survive in an NT society, while still feeling loved by close friends. That should be the goal, imho.
