Tired of being the "weird person"?

[T-Bone24]

Fortunately the same neural problem that gives me a speech impediment also made me immune to pain which give me edge against my attackers and allowed me to win some really impressive fights.

God closes a door, he opens a window, amirite?

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.

*shrug* The things I got teased about in school were my last name (Mann) and the fact that I'm a girl who has little to no interest in being 'girly' and was mostly a loner and very quiet. Add that I enjoyed video games and drawing, I got into quite a few fights since all the teachers and principal did were tell the boys not to make fun of me. I'm not much of a talker, but would warn someone if they were going too far. They never listened and never learned when to shut up, always baffled when I'd punch them or some such action.
Never once did they call in the parents of those kids or even attempt to do something about it.
The only decent thing and Middle school was that I met my best friend there, who was also outcast for being an artist and gamer. He wasn't a jock, one of the 'smart' kids, or really fit into any one group of people. We're best friends to this day.

High school was better in ways, I was left alone for the most part with only one or two people who would bother me. The last two years were very easy, and the teasing dropped to zero. I was still acted as I always did.

At least when you can sustain yourself, you'll no longer have to do with the constant distance that your parents put you through. Outside of high school and into college, things usually get better with people. It's easier to avoid those you don't like.
Have you thought about getting brown lenses? Or blue? Something with a darker color could help, even with one eye being darker than the other. Some people naturally have one eye brighter/darker than the other anyway, so it might attract less attention. A passing glance they might not notice right away.

I am the only "aetheist" in a family full of overly religious people.
This is not downplayed by the fact that I am agnostic.
I then go to school where I have no girlfriend, almost no friends in classes, and then come home to "devil child".
I have orange in the middle of my eyes, and that has been the butt of many jokes.
Oh yes, I'm white with black hair.
Now when I say white, I mean whiter than a snowman's ghost.
I'm horribly misanthropic, but this is somewhat watered down by the fact that there are many more people in my school who are like that.


oh yeah, and the people in my school know nothing about cosplay, excepting the super-geeks...


wait...


Just hang in there, I'm sure you'll meet someone that thinks the red eye thing is freaking awesome, like me or anyone else in my entire school.


As for your parents hating you, welcome to the club *pats on back*

My hair is my problem, its naturally curly and blonde.

Every woman I have met Either wants my hair or loves it. THIS is the problem, I get called a girl, teased and more.

Me, being a gamer, cant take advantage of the "Girls liking my hair thing" Because most of them are bitches... and a half. The hoes that hang around with gangsters and chavs and that.

Its not cool. I guess it was unlucky of me to be placed in london. I only have a few friends who are too, gamers. They're cool, but hope of having a girlfriend seems lost.

Anyway - If I were you I would hit them where it hurts, make fun of them back. Find their oddities.

For instance - A girl in my class put on fake tan, a bit too much. Any insult she put towards me got a "Said the Tangerine" back. Its fun to watch people who insult you get insulted back. Espicially on embarrasing days.

Hope you get out of that hellhole, sounds really bad. If I ever met you, you would be the coolest person ever.

I have Aspergers Syndrome, I guess this makes me weird.

Yay!

Are you angry at the people who essentially named your disease "ass burgers"?

Hahahaha! Funnies

But, I've never heard that.

 

[NinjaSkills]

I think the red eyes thing is badass. And I think it's stupid that your parents blame you for the church thing. I hope life gets better for you.

As for my personal weirdness:
When I was a kid growing up on Long Island, I was "weird" in most people's opinion because of the things I say or do (but I still had friends). Then I moved to the town I live in now when I was 11 and I became the quiet kid because I didn't talk to anyone. In high school, I was still the quiet guy (but I made some great friends along the way). This year in high school, I became the quiet, fail at life (only by my vocational area) jerk. The jerk is because I insult people. The reason for the fail at life, I don't know, all throughout senior year, this one guy (and his best friend/possible gay lover (not that I have anything against gay people, they just act like a homosexual married couple)) I know started calling me a "failure at life," then most of the seniors in my area started calling me that because they can't form their opinions based on who I am and not on stupid insults formed by two guys who think that they are better than me because they are themselves. So, yeah, there's the weirdness that is me.

That's ridiculous! In what kind of fucked up place do you live?

Have to agree here... What the hell?! And the whole parents thing, like they havn't forgiven you for being born? That's real.. sad. If it's true, it's hard to believe such a thing.

Thats terrible! I'm albino(So my eyes are red), but seeing as my hair isn't white no one believed me, and also, unfortunatly for me, I have ADHD(Severe), traces of Aspergers and Tourettes syndrome(like I said only traces) so then everyone thought that I was evil, and it was all excuses, and they said stuff like "the impulse is an excuse, and so is the albino..y...nes, you just say it to hide the fact your insane". It was really annoying, no one, NO ONE, wanted to go near me. Now I live in a house with my girlfriend. Luckily its a small town, so you can explain to one person, and then the whole town know and is understanding. Yey for weird people. But it doesn't stop the children from poking me with sticks, I just say I'll eat them alive if they touch me, then they run away, plus the parents don't get mad with me, because they know its better than me hitting the children with the sticks, because what are the real chances of me eating someone alive? Although, someone cooked and prepaired well does sound tasty... joking!

 

[Osaka-chaness]

Sei I'm sorry for people insulting you like that...they have no right to do that to someone who's got a defect like that...

I have Aspergers so a lot of things are really REALLY awkward with me...I don't always do this, but for certain bad events...I make jokes out of them...luckily it's not as big of a deal now that I'm not hanging out with people anymore...but it's still somewhat bad...

Emokid...man that's f**king hilarious...eat them alive? BEST LINE EVER XD! I'm glad at least the people in your town understand your eyes and such. I just want to hug people that understand and knock some sense into people who don't...

I can't stand people who hate others for being different, especially when said others can't help it. I was made fun of after people found out I was bisexual (They thought I was gay. However that DID stop after I straight up said I was bisexual)...but I just got lucky...my ex boyfriend Alex got kicked out of his house because he was gay, and his father couldn't handle it...I think they talked again after a while but then Alex passed away (while we were still going out...-sigh-)...so yeah...

[Kuchinawa212]

No not really! With the right people I never feel like the odd person out!

Thanks Suiseiseki for making me realize that

And no, I will never stop being the woobie, because I get I get free blankets, cookies, and hot chocolate.
