Am I weird?

United States
September 3, 2009 8:42am CST
I don't eat junk foods. I don't drink alcohol. I don't go to bars. I don't dance. I don't wear sleeveless shirts. My favorite ice cream flavor is choco mint. I don't drink soda. I don't eat chicken skin. I don't wear make-up or lipstick. I rarely buy new clothes because I think that old ones are still good to use. I'd rather read a book than go to a party. And as much as possible, I won't eat without a plate or something to keep the crumbs from falling to the floor. I don't want to see cockroaches around, that's why. And oh, I'm afraid of roaches I haven't even killed one. I don't want to step on them. I just don't wanna hear the "crunchy" noise that my slippers would make if I step on them. Am I weird?

No you're not weird. I think you're just being you. I myself don't wear lipsticks. I hate parties and I'd rather sit at home with my dogs than go party. The things you like and don't like to eat is just your preference and having one's own preference doesn't make one weird. But may I ask, why did you ever think you are weird?

Because I'm always left here in the dormitory. My dormmates are always out at night. I rarely go with them because I'm not a night person. I always go to bed early so I could also wake up early. My dormmates always get up at lunchtime, about 11 am or 12 noon. I don't want that kind of lifestyle. I think it's unhealthy and unproductive. Thanks so much for your nice comment. =))

Well crimson, I think what best describes you is that you are being more responsible than your dorm mates.

hi crimsonrain...there are many many people out there but not like you. i adore a person like you actually, that's unique. i don't know but i more appreciate that a person or a girl actually behaves like you. don't ever think that you're freak or weird or ridiculous, never! that's the best part of your personality, keep it up.

No, you are not weird. Everyone is different, that is what make everyone uniqueness. i very seldom eat ice-cream and chocolate, it is not weird. I don't wear make-up or lipstick too, unless i have a very special occasion. I just put on lip balm, so that i don't look sick. Not everybody likes party. I don't go to party if i know i can't blend in that particular group of people, i rather sleep at home. I never purposely step on a cockroach in my whole life, it is just too cruel!! I never think that I am weird, so you shouldn't too. Cheers =)

Everyone is unique, embrace your idiosyncracies and stop worrying what other people think. If you are happy then that is what matters. Totally with you on the whole rather read a book than go to a party thing :)

There is no such thing in this world as weird. There's a reason for everything. I believe that everything happen for a reason and nothing should be misplace in this world and we belong to this planet no matter what we are. There are still things the world doesn't understand still they try to seek for answers, but some of this questions have no answer in this world and only you can only find it with in you.

You are just you, and nothing wrong with that! I don't think not wanting to step on a roach is weird -nasty little beasties - I worked in a restaurant once and we had an infestation, and I remember being on the floor on my hands and knees cleaning out this fridge that was crawling with them I had them falling on my head and when I got home I actually threw out my shoes and my jeans out of the door rather than risk bringing them into my home (then had about 5 showers.....eeeeeerrrh! Shudder!) I don't drink much, don't really go to bars. I don't wear sleeveless shirts, for me thats mainly self consciousness about my weight - choco mint rocks - love reading,hate parties - No, if you're weird then so am I!!

my friends called me weird because I don't like wearing nice clothes or live in a big house. there are other things they called me weird for, but because I couldn't care less about it, I forgot that these are weird to them. I didn't make many friends and I don't wish ever to. I have true friends and for all I care, they worth more than so called friends. there have been many words and things people have called me over the years. Sometimes I overheard it, sometimes I just knew. but I didn't stop being 'weird' in other people's eyes. Because what they think don't matter to me. What I think matters to me and a few people's opinions do too, only a few though. The word you have to ask yourself is do you love yourself? You're weird, you're not, it matters only to those that don't matter to you. Those that care about you, will find it fun to know. This way they know what gifts to give you on your birthday: books, not soda, not chicken skin, not sleeveless shirts, and pheeww not mascaras either (those can be really expensive and hurt the eyes if you can't use it right). Animal lovers would love you, if you can't hurt a cockroach, you sure can't hurt them either! and I wish my husband is like you, so I don't have to keep cleaning the kitchen off bread crumbs etc. He is a great guy who likes to eat, and the very person that accepts the weirdness in me without doubt. For that, I'll clean the kitchen forever..

You are not weird. On the contrary, I found you have many virtues. Just keep on these good habits and don't care what others think about you. Just be yourself! I love China

sometimes it makes me feel weird when every one i know are drinking and smoking and i am the only who don't . but i try not to feel the pressure or compare myself to them. cause i think that a lot of people would want to be in my place that they don't have to struggle on how to stop smoking. i just am thankful that i didn't get into those habit. i don't blame them or think lowly of them but i don't want to see myself as weird either. i will just count it a blessing so that i will not feel out of place or like something wrong with me. cause i know in my mind that there is nothing wrong with me. it is just more normal not to drink or smoke. i just think that maybe they have some problems or just social pressure or by friends that caused them to be in those habits. i will not say it is wrong but i am not just into those habit. to each his own i guess. what ever makes you happy do it. but just remember we just reap whatever we sow and don't blame others for what we did.

I don't see that as weird. It's you and there's nothing wrong with that. In fact, you should be proud to be who you are regardless of what other people think about it. People can say what they want, they're just being an a** if they criticized you too much. You on the other hand, can be who you want to be. FYI, I love choco mint too. It's a part of my favourite flavour. And I don't kill roaches as well, my cats do.

You're not weird. Those are your preferences. They make you, you. And I'm sure if you looked around, there are lots of people who enjoy those same things that you do. I'd rather read than go to a party. I'll sit at home and watch a movie, before I'd go out to a club. Don't feel weird. Not at all. By the way, I agree with you about the roaches.

Hi CrimsonRain, if u r, then so am I. :) But I have killed cockroaches because I cant bear the thought of having more of such guests around. :) And I do hate that cruncy noise, but I guess it is a one time issue, and I do wash my slippers several times after that. :( And I like strawberry flavor in ice cream. Rest of the characteristics are xerox. :-)

There's nothing peculiar about you, CrimsonRain. In fact, I admire you for being tru to yourself and living your life how YOU want to live it, not how OTHERS would want to live it for you. ~Mr. Kennedy~

Hey, we have the same habit. I think it's normal. We just chose what we like about things. Sometimes to play safe.
