There is absolutely nothing wrong with being weird. Normal is boring. Weird people are always remembered. Keep being weird! I know I will...

Kinda but you have the advantage in doing what you like to do. For me, I am considered weird in many aspects.I guess I have to live on and be strong. It is not an opinion for me but what can I do...It is in my genes(or jeans O_O)...U can start helping me before I go into euphoria..

Being "weird" is mostly an opinion. No one really knows what "normal" is anymore and everyone has their own weird quirks and everything that makes them unique. I know that a lot of my friends and I are considered weird, but we have a lot of friends and a lot of people like us, so it's ok. There's always going to be those people that think you're weird and don't want anything to do with you. There's people like that for "normal" people, too. You can't please everyone all the time. Don't worry about what people think about you. If you like who you are and you have good friends then obviously your friends like you and it's not a big deal. Just be whoever you want to be and let people like you for that. :)

That kind of labels are what separate people. It's stupid. A person is much more than a label and even if they fit in a "category", it's always a superficial thing. Deep down, you can't label anyone, and that's why EVERYONE can be a surprise, good or bad.

I'm not sure if "weird" vs "normal" is even an opinion anymore. I think it's a way to NOT have an opinion. If you think about it, saying something is weird just means you're not saying you like or dislike the object. You want to withhold judgment or comment until someone else gives you their opinion so you can feel them out. I have used the word to cushion a bad opinion but rarely do I use it to actually mean "bizarre" for which I think the word was meant to be synonymous once upon a time. If people call you weird, they can say "no, no, I just mean unique" or it's a softer way to say they do not like how you project yourself. I think in most situations, you can tell which one it is.

What a standard of being normal and being weird anyway? Being normal in one places could be mean weird in other places. The best thing is just be ourselves, and not pretend to be somebody that we aren't.

I dont think being weird is a bad thing,infact many people claim themselves to be weird even if they are not, weird is something that is not common these people are unique they got some habits or ways to behave that no other person around him is like the way he/she is.Even i was claimed as a werido by my guy lol.
