Take pride in your quality, people need to be more honest with themselves, and quit trying to be someone they are not. Good job keeping it real, it's rare, and don't take what people say to heart, it's a good thing to be nice and open. The next time someone calls you a wierdo, just say "crazy, don't mind if I dooooooo"

Maybe a more laid back attitude is what they really are.
Don't worry too much about being weird, look at how unhappy and boring the people are who are calling you names. I think being termed weird by those people would be a badge of honor.
It may be that you have a more outgoing personality that would be happy on stage or in a public relations situation, not everyone is comfortable with people or even likes them.
Wherever you are in your life now is not where you will be in five years, so get through the now and plan for a future in a place where you will be happier.

SWhrug it off and don't pay attention to what others say or do in your presence.
I think that if someone doesn't want to talk or even shake my hand is more of a good thing, and saves dealig with snobbish people later.
To really push someone away, if you dislike them as much as they seem to dislike you from what you said, when you see them walking in your direction, bark once, then dart off 50 meters, stop, glance back quickly then dart off behind a building.
Who cares what people think, 99 of the time they don't have a clue as to what you really are like as a person and it is their loss if they don't want to seem intelligent and be friendly.

Don't listen to them, that's great. Be true to yourself and never change. I'm not saying this because I don't think people should always be themselves because sometimes that's just not true. That comment is a whole other story. I think that you should keep it up because you know what, if more people did that, it'd be a better world to live in. Maybe you should move to a friendlier area though. Live around people who wouldn't mind that.

Believe in yourself. Say that you are beautiful. Get rid of this paranoia, it will take you nowhere. You can't satisfy everybody and not everyone will like you. Just be yourself, and bugger them. Live your life. Do your best. And the rest is the rest. Good luck.

I think you should move to somewhere where people are a lot more open minded. There's nothing at all wrong with being true to yourself. It's the people around you that don't fit you.
Good luck!

Stop worrying what everyone thinks. Whoever said wierd was a bad thing? I love wierdness! Who gets to decide what weird is anyway? In that case maybe you are normal and everyone else is weird.

Well, you need to move. Have you ever thought about Hollywood or San Francisco or New York?
If you live in a big city like one of these, you will not stick out as some kind of wierdo.

I was like that too. Don't worry your not a weirdo your just very loving and fun. Some people will like that, others wont. As long as you like yourself, it shouldn't matter.
Keep being who you are, cuz you seem very nice and fun!
