Tired of being the "weird person"?

[mikemart]

i hate being the weird one, im really the only gamer in my school, when i dont even play videogames that much anymore. ALL my systems are collecting dust.

ive made some mistakes in the past but people still hold it over me like i still act like that or do weird stuff.

the assholes call me gay cause ive never been with a girl but no girl would go out with me!

im made fun of because im a yankee and a jet fan from alot of people because sports is big in my school.

this pretty much sums me up, except that i play alot of video games and i don't like sports at all. also i get called gay but not for the reason you said but because unlike most of the guys at my school, i actually am not seeking a partner (amazing i know lol)

ive relized calling someone Gay is another way of saying "i want to insult you but im to retarded to come up with something good"

really im not looking for a girl now, im tired of getting rejected.. .cant get rejected if i dont like a girl i cant get rejected

I guess I was pretty much considered the weird kid from the time of birth. I was always overweight and I still am. I just have a low metabolism, I eat as much as everyone else. I don't have a problem, you're the one with the problem. I'm not being defensive, stop being defensive, and grew up around average sized kids from Preschool to 4th grade, so it wasn't too big of a deal, but then I moved to FUCKING Kansas, where all's there is to do is football, basketball, track, torturing small animals secretly in your garage, acting like immature douches, and white supremacy. Unfortunately, I hate all these things, so I was always the weird one. And the only person who didn't badger me about going out for sports was the coach, ironically. Then, I got fed up with the bullshit hypocrisy of public school and went to a private Christian school, where people didn't care that I hated sports, but cared that I had an open and understanding mind and didn't quote Bible verses every other sentence, which they quickly stuffed closed with detention and Social Services. So I got fed up with the bullshit hypocrisy of private school, and became socially reclusive, not associating with anyone from my previous 2 schools, said "Fuck you society, I don't need you, your religion, OR your chew (which is unfortunately popular here)". Then, I came around and realized it was shitty to blame everyone from my last school for what the authorities at the school did, which I found out later by confronting the adult bane of my existence, was done unwittingly, for the most part, anyway. So, now I'm friends again with the people from the LAST school, because they've been accepting and cool, but not the first school because they're ignorant hicks and fuck them, they were as bad as the half-ass, no real life experience needed, sexually rejected teachers. So, I've learned to deal with people by being polite and honorable, even if they act like asses, because I know that I've had twice the taste of real life then everyone else I know, and I'm about 10 years ahead of everyone in maturity and understanding, so that still makes me weird that I don't act like like a normal 16 year old guy and can hold my own in an actual intelligent conversation with people five times my age, but I've come to terms with the fact that I'm different and so is everyone else, even if they don't acknowledge it, and if they blame me for that, then they're way more self-conscience of themselves than I am. So, still weird, happy with it, people here mostly suck. And personally, I think red eyes are the bomb-diggity. Mine are what most people would call brown, but they're actually dark hazel, and in the right light and proper distance, they can look yellow which, I think, is sweet.

I was always the fat ginger kid growing up, so the looks were never my strong suit among my idiot classmates. On top of that, I was not only more observant and smarter than them, but in most cases I was also more physically able than them up till I hit the 6th grade. After I hit middle school age I stopped taking anyone's emotion into consideration unless they were the person getting picked on. Well about the time I hit highschool I saw pretty much everyone as below me due to the fact that they were all a bunch of ignorant hicks and rednecks, so I would always hang out with the teachers as they were at least capable of forming a thought that was both rational and logical. I was always picked on for being a "brain" or "nerd" or "geek". But one day I just snapped when some jackass decided to break the only rule I have reguarding personal space which is simply, if you are trying to pick a fight don't touch me. Well I wound up slamming the guy on the floor and telling him all the ways that I would torture him if he wouldn't leave me alone. After that nobody came near me and I had no more idiots bothering me, I still had the people I considered friends on my side, the only other person who was picked on for being too smart decided to start hanging out with me, and eventually I got bored and quit school on a whim to get a GED so that I wouldnt be bothered by idiots for a while.

I mean sure mine does make me the weird guy, but at least I was the weird guy because I stood up for myself and not for something that people just assumed. Now I wear all black and walk around with an emotionless face so that people stay away from me in public, it all worked out great for me.

 

[sorry user name taken.]

Are you tired of being the weird person that no one will talk to? Tell your tale and/or thoughts:

I was born with naturally red eyes (genetic defect) yet my right is darker than my left (which is also my worst eye). All my life I have been called a "witch", a "demon", and "the daughter of Satan" by people who saw my eyes. My parents were banned from their church because of this, and they've never forgiven me for it.

This changed (somewhat) in 2004 when I had to get corrective lenses for my left eye which was becoming worse, and contacts were my only option. I wanted to get a different colored iris to hide my left eye so my optometrist decided to make it green since green is the pposite of red on the color spectrum. So I ended up looking like Suiseiseki prior to Rozen Maiden. This was not a problem until I enter high school 3 years ago, and by then a few had seen RM. So then I became the laughing stock of my school.

Now they call me a "nerd" and a cosplayer" and that I dyed my hair brown (which I didn't). My reputation is so trashed at school that no one will talk to me except for my boyfriend will talk to me. I have to keep Clorox wipes in my locker because someone writes "Desu" all over my locker every day. It gets even worse when I get home, where my parents want nothing to do with me.

this is all very sad if its ''true'' and um..i really don't think it is =/ i think you just role play anime too much( like wow like rozen maiden much =/ )

i was bullied at my school for dressing like a goth and liking anime...(i went to a chavy school most girls when left got pregnant to get a place to live..eww) thank god i left school sort ''normal'' XD lol.

Dubious words.

You know, I'm not sure if you're telling the truth. If you are, you're extremely rare, as there are only around twenty known cases of true red eyes in the world. And those that are aren't a case of a genetic defect, but simply a storage of melanin in the iris.

If you aren't lying, then I'm sorry for being mistrusting. But your posts stroke an odd chord with me, they didn't seem quite legitimate.

As for tired of being the weird person, I was said person and decided to stop being so. After going to an anime con, surprisingly enough. Being thrown in with a group of people I didn't know and being forced to socialize really helped me, and now I can converse with all sorts of people.
I wouldn't say I'm popular, but I'm no longer bullied.

it isnt real she's just acting like this character lol

 

[Undeadpope]

Being weird is awesome.
Mind you I think it turned out better for me than others,seen as most of the time no body my age has idea what I am talking about and because I say "g'day" people seem to love me...

 

[MmmFiber]

deep voice + quiet + monotone voice + very intelligent + socially awkward = "why are you so quiet?" I never had the answer for them. Although, I'm glad to find other people who get this question regularly. I don't know how many times someone asked me to say "Clear eyes" from the commercial with ben stein. Dont pity me though... I have really good friends, a loving family, and an adoring wife.

To the OP, wait for college. It's totally awesome. The only people that will care about your eye color will think its cool. But as for right now, I would say to shrug it off and try not to alienate yourself from everyone. The less enjoyment they get the more likely they are to move on to the next best thing. High school sucks for everyone at some time.... just ride it out.

I was conceived out of wedlock and my dad and mom had a shotgun wedding as soon as my mom found out she was pregnant, thanks to uber-Catholic grandparents on both sides of the family. My dad's mom was the worst---for the first eight years of my life the old bat called me "devil-spawn" and "that little bastard"---the fact that my mom had a crisis of faith around the same time that led to her renouncing Catholicism in favor of deism/agnosticism only confirmed the point for grandma. I hated that old woman and it made me an atheist as soon as I was old enough (four) to know what the word meant.

Fast forward to school age---in the 1980s and early 1990s when I was in school there wasn't really much of a pagan/atheist/non-religious community I could join in my small suburban hometown (the vast majority of the school kids were Catholic, either Irish or Italian---Boston, y'know---and had Sunday school and church activities.) I couldn't join the Boy Scouts (they discriminate against atheists and require an oath to God which I refused to take), the girls were all church-girl prudes (total teen pregnancies out of my high school class of 235: two, one of whom got knocked up on senior prom night---only one girl showed up at graduation with a kid)...

Do I even need to mention that my SNES was my only real friend in high school? Thankfully once I turned 18 and moved to the big city I found all kinds of interesting people, most of whom were outcasts in their suburban hometowns. Then when I was 21 someone showed me the Internet and...hot damn on a stick!

 

[Mr.Squishy]

Ooh..where to start...I'm 17, I got long blonde hair (well..not that long, but long for a guy) and blue eyes. I love wearing black though i frequently wear other coloured clothing as well, even though i have pretty much no fashion sense but i don't care. I used to be harassed for the small fat kid (how original), and i was so socially inept it wasn't even funny. Now i'm about 6 feet tall and i'm averagely built and moved on from 10 years of taking shit and gotten into a better school. I still think people here in Norway can be a bit cold (maybe it's the climate, heh). Still, I managed to get a couple of buddies, and a couple of not-that-good-yet buddies and even a gf in the USA ^^ I went there to visit her last x-mas...heh ^^ first kiss..magical.. anywho, where was I? oh yeah..anime and manga is pretty interesting to me, so therefore people find it fun to ask me idiotic questions about it, and their tone always reeks of sarcasm. Alas..i'm not very good socially either, but I try to be nice and polite when i can and i smile a lot. just watch out when i get mad, because when that happens, the curtain goes down and when it goes back up, I usually see blood or someone being choked. Not fun. Anywho, if you wanna get to know me or just talk, feel free to add me ^^
Oh, and also: OP, if what you say is true (no offense intended) i think that is damn cool, and if it isn't, you still created a wonderful topic :3

 

[Seydaman]

for some reason i have a strange compulsion to ask if you want a hug..

Can I have a hug? And it's saying things like that that gets me weird looks. My general rule when people treat you like your weird, remember that they're the intollerant (insert colourful language here). It's people like them who start wars. And then you realise that it makes you better then them because you can see past the skin of a person.

why would you get wierd looks? WHO DOESN'T LIKE HUGS???

People I consider to be weird.

 

[slevin8989]

I feel for you and hopefully you won't have to go through this all you're life. As for me I'm weird for my family. They are very religious and don't like change. I have long hair which I've been told by them that i'm going to hell for that. When i was younger i spoke broken English and broken Spanish so i couldn't talk without feeling awkward at my home or school, and i generally don't like people so i'm not much of a talker until i get to know someone

 

[LooK iTz Jinjo]

I'm not really weird, I'm just an outcast at my school. Let me put it in perspective. The guy I consider my best friend is 20 (I'm 17 in year 12) and I met him on XBL. I'm not like a loner or anything at school, I have a couple of other people at school I'm really close to, but one of them is a self absorbed arrogant prick, and the other is a girl who's favorite pass time is annoying me with her bitchiness about retarded issues.

Basically I'm the guy at school who cops all the shit, for no real reason, and fuck I hate it.

 

[matnatz]

I wasn't completely immune but anything less than plane crash wouldn't faze me. It affected my sense of touch which means I'd be hanging out with a really nice girl and then realize I had a giant emo cut on wrist I didn't remember getting. When I was a kid I'd get really tired outside during the winter without realizing I was getting hypothermia. Fortunately my neurology changed slightly as I grew older and I can go out during the winter without having to worry about freezing to death.

You could do some really good party tricks man. Take a knife and shove it through something on your person. The ladies love it, especiall if you don't tell them that you're insensitive to pain.

Overall I'm a weird person. I paint and I dress only in clothes that I like. I've never had that many freinds, but I've had good freinds (apart from recently when one of them stopped being a nerd and tried to refashion himself as some kind of chav and stopped hanging arund with me incase he came across as 'uncool' pfft). Being a gamer ofcourse made me stand out a bit in school. My family are Roman-catholic gypsies so I know a lot of interesting stories and people say they find it hard to work out if I'm joking or not. I quote American Psycho more often than I probably should while at weddings. I'm prone to the ocassional random humor, even when I don't have an audience, but just for my own amusement. Sometimes I walk into shops and announce what I want in a theatricle, medieval manner. I also have an odd love for the 18th century and I used to pretend that I was a nobleman while all the others were playing football lol. Oh, and I own a Flintlock pistol.

 

[slevin8989]

I think the topic creator sounds adorable. Know she has a boyfriend but whatever, I just really wanna hug her. I have such a thing for multi-colored eyes. ;_;

DON'T JUDGE ME! *runs away*

True a girl with two different eyes is really cool to me too

 

[Lumber]

I like being the weird person... but hey, people DO talk to me, because I talk to them.
I even talk to the other weirdos that don't talk to people... they rarely talk back.

 

[LeonLethality]

Hmmm I was born with Heterochromia, i have a blue and a green eye, i have been called a freak for it in early years, but now most people see it as cool, but many are prejudice as i am different, and since i died the tips of my hair white people have given me even more stares, i am unique and hated for it, i have a select group of friends who dont care about how i look but more for who i am, but its so strange being stared at ALL the time for my heterochromia, whats more i sit makes me look as if i am angry ALL the time

All because of Eye color? That really sucks dude. Meh, people are stupid, what are you gonna do? I would take red eyes over my boring 'ol brown ones any day.

What would you rather be:

A supposed cosplaying nerd, or a red-eyed demon child. (put some serious thought into it)

i would love to have red eyes, but if i was hated for it, like you were i would say no, even though i am one not to care about anyone else or myself (call me selfish, i may be in most cases, but i dont care for anything but the girl i love) i probably wouldnt care being called a demon child as i dont care about being called a freak, but i think deep down it might get to me and i dont know it, just remember, as long as one person doesnt see you as a freak you might as well be happy

 

[Dudemeister]

Red eyes ?
That's awesome.
Also:

My parents were banned from their church because of this, and they've never forgiven me for it.

Isn't this just really unfair of your parents ?

 

[ThreeWords]

First, the main story is horrible. However, I do wish I had red eyes, because where I live, it would be awesome!

Also, I was once made the 'freak-child' because of my attributes as well.

My 'special trick' is immunity to pain. Once, when I was 13, I was playing Scabby Queens with a group of the popular kids, and they set it up so that I always lost.

For those that don't know, Scabby Queens is a game whose sole purpose is to hurt the loser. Basically, if you lose, the winner gets to smash your knuckles/hands with the deck till they bleeds.

Needless to say, they set me up to lose every time because they hoped to get some fun from smashing in my hands. But when I'd lost my third game, and was calmly whistling as they raised the deck again, they got somewhat worried

The big 'cool kid' decided he'd sort me out. He hacked at my hands, till they bled freely, even getting on the deck itself. But I still didn't react. It kind of freaked them out a bit

Maybe because I was different, maybe because of jealousy, maybe even because of fear, the popular kids made it so I was a taboo, that no one could be freindly to me at all.

It wasn't a fun few months, but eventually the rumours faded, but I know it's not fun being the outcast

 

[lampmanofdoom]

I sadly understand how you feel.
I dont have red eyes or any other fusikal uniknes but every one in my skool treat me as an outsider and calls me names because
i have dyslexia, becaus im intrested in art, becaus i dont smoke and drink and becaus i like to draw it really sucks.
So what i want to tell you is that your not alone.
