Are you weird and proud of it?

I've people say that I'm weird, like a good weird, but I think I'm pretty normal and indifferent about it.

 

I am not normal by any orthodox standards.

 

I am just me....not conforming to what others' feel i should, but not trying to be weird either...i'm just me...and i'm happy with that....

 

i'm so weird people can't believe i'm aloud to roam free! LOL!

 

i am weird and proud: loud, outspoken, liberal left wing, hippie, atheist, nudist, barefooter, enviornmental activist, feminist, glbt activist, slob, & animal rights activist

 

why yes, yes i am. i am weird and very proud of it. i say why be normal?

 

I don't know. Some people who are very busy dissociating themselves from normal people and profiling themselves as weird can annoy the hell out of me. I guess I'd rather be normal, which in my opinion doesn't necessarily means you're a square.

 

well, it's hip to be square too.

 

I just settle with normal, thank you!

 

k...good luck with that.
i tried normal once...it didn't work out...:tongue:

 

Well, I already find out that 'normal' can be interpreted in countless different ways. Just something for me hehe.

 

Weird is a subjective term, but yeah, I'd have to say most people find me weird, and I am proud of my eccentricities. Individuality, creativity, and the willingness to think beyond the realm of conventional thought are what make life worth living. All of the great intellects and artists have historically possessed these qualities.

Sure, I've had to pay a price for it; my hair's too long, and the clothes I wear aren't formal enough to meet the approval of most of the corporate types I've worked for, but it's worth it. Furthermore, I don't buy into their good ol' boy mentality anyway 'cause I sure as hell don't wanna conform and become one of them, even if it involves making lots of money--I'll keep my individuality, thank you, you know what you can do with your money. Luckily I got a job in an R&D environment in which they don't care, they respect me for the freak I am.

When I was growing up, I had to tolerate ridicule and abuse, but I always did great in school, the concepts just seemed to come so easily. Now I work with my mind, and I'm pretty intelligent, but I'm also ADD, so I just toke copious amounts of weed to keep it in check, and the ideas keep flowing. The people I work for are psyched.

I say fly your freak flag as high as you dare, everyone should strive to be themselves, so long as they don't hurt anybody. Only when weirdness becomes antisocial behavior does it become a problem.

 

Sounds cool to me . I also don't conform to fashion. I'd like to add though that individuality and being yourself doesn't have to make you weird or not normal. It also doesn't necessarily involves waving your freak flag as high as you can. The fact that the 'elite' and really square people generally find me weird doesn't mean a thing to me. Not because I'm proud of it, but just because I don't agree with them about that. I'm probably repeating myself by now.. :tongue:

 

i like my uniquenessss ... im one of a kind!

 

I'm not sure how weird I am. I have no mental disorders or whatsoever and no social awkwardness either.
But then again I don't know many people that at the same time want to be an opera singer and practice 2 hours a day, take lsd, go to parties, are interested in chemistry, biology, diseases and philosophy, are nihilist yet very optimistic and happy and talk the most random stuff occasionally. Oh and listen to both classical music, black metal and 60's music.
I find myself pretty normal though.

 

I listen to both black metal and '60's music' as well. As a matter of fact, I find people who listen to mainly one genre that fits with their subculture pretty weird. Sure they consider it normal though, so you see, it's all relative and subjective.

 

normal is overrated.

 

Overrated and underrated are generally both very overrated terms.

 

Yes.

 

I love being weird, I wouldn't be me without it!
