have you ever been called weird?

Question

and sight your theories on why they called you weird

Answer 1

All the time. Most great men and women were called weird. I'm not saying, though, that I'm a great guy because I'm weird or anything.

People call people weird for being different in some aspects. Being below par of what people refer to as "normal behaviour" is "weird". Being in the two extremes of what "normal" people would "normally" do is weird. I, for one, dont see it as weird but rather unique.

Different things work for different people.

Answer 2

I've been called weird somewhere between 250-300 times. I take it as a compliment, I don't mind being a little strange and or different - just as long as I don't become creepy-weird, then that's when I need to get a therapist.

Answer 3

Yes. But I have always thought of it as a compliment.Its good to know that,at times, ones behavior differs from that of those surrounding him.Its a usual mistake made from most people,yours truly included. It seems we tend to forget that people think and react in their own unique way,this results in an inability to explain and understand their actions.So we resort to the simplest of the solutions, we describe them or their actions as weird,after all we are practical beings :-)

Answer 4

Yes, I'm often called weird, often because I think about things and analyze situations, where many of the people around me are more inclined to just "let it be." They find it odd that I notice things they don't, or that I put thought to something they would never give a thought to.

Answer 5

I've been called weird a lot in my life. I almost always choose to take it as a compliment. It has usually been in the context of someone saying it in terms of me acting differently than others, which I see as a positive thing.

Answer 6

Bulls-Eye! It's practically my second name! Weirdo!

I used to be called that all the time because I didn't care what people think about me. In fact my difference was my main reason. It's good to be different with your own personality so people can remember you by it - but a year ago I stopped acting stupid. As a 16-year-old I actually miss it but oh what the heck - it comes back sometimes!

Answer 7

My 14 year old daughter tells me all the time that I am weird, I just like to act goofy. I ask her would you rather have a crabby mom or a goofy fun mom. Her friends love me so I must not be that weird! We have to stay young somehow!!

Answer 8

I've been called weird a few times. I wish for it to much to get called it now. The older I get I find its usually because they are indeed weird themselves.

Answer 9

Yeah, many times sufficient. i think of human beings, in general my friends tell me i'm bizarre because of the fact i will attempt extraordinarily much something as quickly as, I pay attention to all varieties of song, i think of that's rather humorous how actually my friends are embarrassed by my habit. I met some some friends of one of my good friends one evening and that i finished up telling them that i think of my pal spiked my drink and became getting somewhat comfortable feely with me. They kinda believed me in the initiating lol.

Answer 10

Yeah sweety all the time but i try to think of it as being unique not weird everybody has there little quirks!!!I think people call me weird because I'm not affraid to be myself around people.Why should you act like something your not??!!!
