Do you think people think your weird?

[Trevor]

I refer to my students as "squirmly little yuppie larva".

[Jack]

I don't really care - as long as my family tolerates me, that's all that matters. 

What is "normal" anyway?  I don't think I'd want to be that.  Good grief, I'm normal enough - wife, 3 kids, job, house, blah blah blah.  If this stuff doesn't result in some minor insanity, then you're not really alive.

[Hammock Rider]

I think everybody thinks what could be called "weird" thoughts. Some people are maybe afraid of them though and do what they can to stifle those thoughts, or at least don't admit to them. Some people, like me, seem to lack an internal editor or at least have one that's asleep on the job and I end up saying some of the weird thoughts others may only think. I don't care, I just wish I could finid a way to make it pay$$$$$.

[BeyondTheGrave]

I'm weird and I don't care. I'm friendly and their friendly back with the "underbelly" of the population:Homeless,punks,felonys etc. Don't get along with what people consider"normal" because in the end they are the crazies.

Was that a crazy statement?

[Paquita]

*I* think I'm fine and most other people are weird!  but other people tend to think the opposite once they get to know me.  I think it has a lot to do with my personality not matching my appearance, I'm very feminine and I look and sound younger than I am and I'm really quiet and shy, but I like manly things like meat and lumber and beards and toilets and the things that go in them, I listen to old country and metal, I watch gorey horror and fantasy movies, I kind of overdo the toilet humor thing, and play RPGs and board games - which isn't weird for a 38 year old man from Alabama named PuddinPop.

But unlike most, I do care that people think I'm weird.. I have a really tough time making friends mostly because I've had too many situations where I've tried being more outgoing and just got ganged up by people who told me I was demented or gross.  So now I'm socially retarded, I have 2 friends that live in different states, and 1 husband, but you need 4 people to play Pictionary! 

[Dennis]

I really don't care if people think I'm weird, I think the weirdness that we each possess is what makes us individuals and that this weirdness makes us interesting as individual people.
I like to think this is what the composer of this piece had in mind.

[Psycho Circus]

Yes, mostly by judging me by my appearance, but I don't give a crap most of the time. Even more so when people get to know me...I'm like Vegemite in human form, you either love me or hate me, there is no middle ground. 

[Doggett]

Yeah, I'm a freak.

Lets get freaky together, b movie people!




"Lets get freaky together" does not mean, oh, never mind...

[Raffine]

Do people think I'm weird?

Heck, I've been called weird by members of this board!   

[LilCerberus]

"Normal is what people are until you get to know them" has always been my mantra.

Then, about ten years ago, I started going to support groups...
And I learned what it really meant.

I'd look around, & I'd really feel out of place.
Nobody else's life seemed half as screwed-up as mine.
They all seemed so NORMAL, & I'd find myself wondering what all these NORMAL people were doing here.
Then, over time, I got to know them.

[Javakoala]

I have been hanging out with folks in the SCA.  I love them, but when I open my mouth, they all stop and give me odd looks.  I ignore it, because one guy loves to show off the lightsaber app on his iPhone. All of them can quote the Marvel Universe, chapter and verse. One of them has EVERY existing episode of Doctor Who on DVD.  I'm just a different spin on weird in this community.

Outside of this group and this board, people just think I'm joking when I talk about my passions.  I let them think what they want.

I have a woman in my life who loves every molecule of my being, and nothing I do or say or show her makes her think I'm weird. Hers is the only opinion that counts.

But, yeah, I'm weird.   And I love me just the way I am.

[Raffine]

But, yeah, I'm weird.   And I love me just the way I am.

This reminds me: I watched EXECUTIONER 2 the other night.

"I WISH THIS WAS COKE! OH. HEAVENLY COKE!" is one of my new favorite movie lines.

[Rev. Powell]

Well, I think you guys are all pretty weird.

I hope you think the same of me.   

[Raffine]

Well, I think you guys are all pretty weird.

I hope you think the same of me.   

Group hug!

[trekgeezer]

Of course people think I'm weird, but I make no apologies for the things I like and do.
