#Weirdness #Quirky #Individuality
🤔 Have you ever wondered just how weird you really are? It’s a question that often crosses our minds as we navigate through life, constantly comparing ourselves to others and questioning our own uniqueness. But the truth is, weirdness is subjective and varies from person to person. What one person may find strange, another might find completely normal. So, let’s dive into an example and explore just how weird you really are.
## What is weirdness?
Weirdness is often associated with being unconventional, quirky, or different from the norm. It’s about embracing your individuality and allowing your true self to shine through, regardless of societal expectations. Some people wear their weirdness proudly, while others try to hide it. But the reality is, we are all weird in our own way, and that’s what makes us interesting and unique.
### Embracing your weirdness
Weirdness should be celebrated, not shunned. Embracing your quirks and oddities can lead to a more fulfilling life and deeper connections with others. It’s about being true to yourself and not conforming to societal pressures to fit a certain mold. So, the next time you catch yourself doing something that others might consider weird, embrace it and own it. After all, normal is boring, and weird is wonderful.
## Example of weirdness
To put things into perspective, let’s consider an example of weirdness. Take for instance, someone who collects vintage taxidermy. To some, this may seem incredibly strange and off-putting. But to the collector, it’s a passion and a way to express their love for the past. This is just one example of how weirdness can manifest itself, and it serves as a reminder that what may be odd to one person is completely normal to another.
### Finding comfort in your weirdness
Finding comfort in your weirdness is key to living a fulfilling and authentic life. It’s about accepting yourself for who you are and being unapologetically you. Surrounding yourself with like-minded individuals who appreciate and celebrate your weirdness can make a world of difference. So, don’t be afraid to let your freak flag fly and embrace your quirks with open arms.
## The power of individuality
Weirdness is a reflection of our individuality. It sets us apart from the crowd and allows us to express ourselves in a way that feels genuine and authentic. By embracing our weirdness, we can tap into our creativity, find joy in the little things, and break free from the constraints of societal norms. It’s about finding the beauty in our differences and using them to our advantage.
### Why weird is wonderful
Weirdness adds spice to life and keeps things interesting. It’s what makes each person unique and brings color to the world. Without weirdness, life would be dull and predictable. So, instead of shying away from your quirks, celebrate them and see the beauty in your own individual weirdness.
In conclusion, weirdness is a beautiful and essential aspect of the human experience. Embracing your quirks and oddities can lead to a more fulfilling and authentic life. So, the next time you find yourself questioning just how weird you really are, remember that weird is wonderful and that embracing your individuality is what makes you truly exceptional.
So, how weird are you really? Embrace your quirks, celebrate your individuality, and let your weirdness shine. After all, normal is overrated, and weird is wonderful.
I find the smell of my own crotch sweat calming. :/
I’m British. I hate tea.
Edit: this seriously got way to many up votes than it deserved.
I walk on the tiles without stepping on the seam between them
I have a spinal cord injury. For the past several years I’ve had to manually evacuate my bowels as the nerves don’t work (most of the time) to enable me to do autonomously.
Take care of your backs, please.
I once snorted dust made from human bones
I collect hair (human) and whiskers to weave into clothing.
As a kid I would snack on my dog’s Milkbones.
I ate some of my own amputated leg.
I also live in Austin since that’s a thing
– I have to make sure that there’s never just one item (e.g. a spoon in the sink) because it’ll get lonely
– I have to repeatedly mentally review how many people are in the house/apartment
– All my stuffed animals have to be facing in all directions so nothing can sneak up on them. Same with labels on prescription bottles
– Every once in a while I hear a direction in my head (‘put that bottle over there’) and have to do it or else I feel like something bad is gonna happen
– Sometimes I say things and am surprised by what I’m saying
– If I’m under stress I start hallucinating people everywhere and hear quiet music or murmuring
– I have trouble defining what love is
When people lie to me I go to pretty extreme lengths to prove they’ve been lying but never tell them I know the truth. I hate liars and have a stash of all kinds of “truths” on random people. Not sure if the truth will ever come out but I feel better having it.
We hired a new guy at my job. I never talked to him, even when he said hi I just nodded at him. We work in a small company so we were always working together but I never talked to him. One day I drew him a picture of the cheddar goblin on a piece of wood and got my coworker to spray varnish on it so it would be preserved forever. I gave it to him and he just said one loud “ha!” And that was that. He quit a few weeks later.
I’ll sometimes listen to a song on repeat for hours
I put ice in my milk.
I bought one of those super-powerful fans to dry a basement carpet. Afterwards, I realized that it can point straight up and that it would be amazing to use on myself post-shower. Now I squeegee my body with my hands, step out of the shower and get blasted by a wide jet of room-temp air. I barely use my towel at all. Wife thinks I’m weird.
I feel dampened emotions to the point where I have to practice my reactions in a mirror. I literally don’t feel the swing for emotions hard enough to produce facial expressions naturally. You got a promotion? That’s great! *practiced happy face* Your mother is in the hospital? Oh I’m so sorry. *practiced sad face*
The few times I haven’t thrown a socially appropriate face up to match the emotion, I get accused of not being happy or sad enough, or downright rude. It is so hard.
I verbally abuse furniture and tools when I somehow get hit or stuck.
I have eaten the same lunch every day for the past 4 years and I’m not bored yet.
My bed doesn’t touch any wall
Edit: I guess i should clarify im not rich.
I have made several citizens arrests.
Also, I have accidentally shown my dick on stage once, and purposely shown my dick on stage once. I am not an actor. The cases were unrelated.
I pace around my house for hours listening to music imagining that I have done all the things I simply lack the brain capacity to do, or in some really bizarre scenarios, I can really get immersed in these imaginations sometimes I don’t know if this is some form of schizophrenia or what.
I was a music guy for a long time. Now I count everything. Steps to my car, rotations to unscrew a jar, everything.
I wouldn’t mind reading page after page of wikipedia stuff….as a date.
EDIT:
Looks like I’m not the only one who would want to do this. You’re all lovely people and I hope you all get to do this with a special someone. Embrace it and stay safe everyone 🙂
In 1990 when I was 8 years old and bored on a field trip, I saw a black Oldsmobile Cutlass driving down the street on a hot day to where you could see that mirage like distortion from the heat on the road. I took a “snapshot” by blinking my eyes and told myself “I wonder how long I can remember this image” ….well.
Whenever I say a word and feel like I used a half of my mouth more than the other half, I have to even it out by saying the word again using the other half of my mouth more.
If I don’t do it correctly, that can go on forever until I feel it’s ok.
I do it silently so I don’t creep people out
Even as an adult I still think that if you are in a car that goes over a cliff; and right as you are about to hit the ground if you jump up you can avoid the damage and will land safely. I know I’m wrong. You shut up. I’m not crying
I hugged a NPC in VR for a few minutes because of loneliness
