What have you been called weird for?

[SturmDolch]

I've gone through various phases in my life and been called weird by one person or another, be they the kewl kidz or the loner nerds. I'm weird because:

- I play video games. OH THE HUMANITY
- I watch movies that are older than me. FOR SHAME!
- I listen to music that isn't just top 40 or modern rock. GASP!!!

Not being a people person, being too sarcastic and cynical, not reacting emotionally to other people troubles [while everyone else is just pretending to care], being the only atheist in the neighborhood, always assuming that people lie, knowing things that no one else even heard of. And of course most of the time I'm considered to be weird because I play video games other than PES and I listen to old hard rock music...and the list goes on.

For the record I do react emotionally but not to other peoples problems such as: "oh he/she left me I'm gonna kill myself" and personal stuff like that. I care about bigger problems like what the fuck is happening to us (humans) and why are people getting more and more stupid every day. Also that makes me weird because people around here are fuckin' stupid and they don't deserve my sympathy. They only care about getting drunk and small talk. Fuck small talk!

My friends call me weird for not caring about looking after any "real" books i own but going batshit insane whenever anyone so much as bends a corner of a page of any manga I own or intend to buy.

Dunking fries in my Frosty. Apparently this is not a universal act.

I've gotten some strange looks for doing this as well. I've been called weird for a whole range of reasons, I just can't remember...oh wait, my mom once called me weird because I don't gossip. I tell her guys don't gossip but she still calls me weird.

I got called weird for wearing a real sword with a costume one holloween. It was dulled. I don't see what the big deal was.

I also got called weird for practicing Aikido instead of MMA.

I get called weird because I'm a teenage guy that can not only cook well, but enjoys cooking. (and, admittedly, eating. XD)

In short, I've been called weird for a multitude of things.

I've brought it up before , but it fits the thread, so pearoast time!

I was walking to the train station, reading the latest Terry Pratchett book, as I tend to binge read them

A group of chavs walking past the other side choose to heckle me for the social crime of 'hey, look! over there, he's READING...reading a BOOK..REAAADING!!!! HAHAHaaahaaa!'

Yes, I got publicly heckled for reading some words. Of course the concept of reading some words by choice probably is very strange for the subhuman species that is 'chav'.

Oh and if any chavs are reading this and are offended, you're not a chav, because you can read this.

anything basically. doesnt help that my personality and my extra curricular activitys dont match up AT all

 

[Kiba The Wolf]

Being a quiet person, eating by myself at lunch during my last year high school (not because I didn't have friends but because I like to have time to myself) , doing good in school, and hanging out with certain people.

 

[black_omega2]

...it would be much easier to just list what people don't think is weird about me.

Pretty much, but I don't think I could make a list out of that one either... I guess I'm... yea I don't know.

But to answer the question, things ranging from my perverted tendencies to my hair. Oh well, not like I cared about their opinion to begin with.

 

[LarenzoAOG]

That my favorite movies are Bladerunner, Watchmen, Schindler's List, Road Warrior, and District 9, really, all very good movies but I'm chastised for liking them.

 

[BENZOOKA]

For having blue rastas, um... eight or nine years ago. Before that I had basically every permanent color there is for hair, you name it. For quite a long time I had about two dozen green spikes constructed from my hair.

 

[Ldude893]

I like Coldplay and refuse to have a higher relationship with a girl of the same age until after college.

 

[Squirrel1328]

watching survivor

 

[Snotnarok]

Having friends over the internet.

 

[ratchet573]

Saying how much I enjoyed Casablance made a bunch of guys think I was weird. Then again, their favorite movies include Bad Boyz and Saw so it really isn't that bad of an insult. They basically told me I'm cultured.

 

[astrav1]

Several of my sexual preferences are less than standard, shall we say XD

Several sexual preferences? Interesting. I have been called weird for being a gentleman.

 

[ethaninja]

Well I have ADHD and Aspergers, so, pretty much everything

 

[Roxas1359]

I've been called weird for many reasons. One of the most frequent ones is that when my parents ask me if I don't want to go to school I'll tell them I want to. Since I was little I'm always hated missing school; when I was little it was just for some odd reason that I liked to go but nowadays it's because if I miss a day I get behind in almost a week of school since I'm in AP classes and have Block Schedule days now.

 

[Eumersian]

I was called weird when I was a weirdo once. It hurt my feelings.

I'll be serious, I used to be really weird. Not crazy, but I talk with a kind of wavering shift between common vernacular, ironic use of lolspeak, and excessively formal words and phrases as I talk to people. Somebody told me that it was strange or weird once. No surprises there.
