What have you been called weird for?

[Leg End]

For being a Communist and a Pedophile.

I hope you're not surprised about the latter.

Not in the fucking slightest.

The discrimination, bigotry and outright hatred gets annoying sometimes though.

Being a huge nerd while still being socially normal means I get a lot of weird looks when I bring up anything about videogames.
Also being on this site and thus having massive amounts of knowledge about gaming culture doesn't help.

Also I get really nerdy when it comes to guitars.

 

[Elfangorax]

I get called weird for telling stories of strange and/or embarrassing things that've happened to me, on Youtube.

 

[shadyh8er]

The fact that I've never been in a relationship (I'm not ready yet dammit!)

This little exchange:

Me: *talking to myself*

Person: "Are you talking to yourself?"

Me: "Yes."

Person: *THAT look*

What? You want me to lie and say "no?"

 

[Crazy_Dude]

Girlfriend stumbling upon my hentai collection >.>

You should be glad she didnt break up with you at that very moment.

I have been called weird for being a huge Alien/Predator fanboy honestly how can you not love those movies? (Ignoring the horrible AVP franchise)

 

[Firoth]

I've been called weird for not drinking alcohol (at all, ever), and even as far back as 14 (22 now) I've been called weird for being too much like an adult or too responsible. Also, I've been called weird because I actually follow traffic laws like not speeding, maintaining safe distances from cars and using my turn signal.

i play magic the gathering...

[Katherine Kerensky]

Existing.
Yep, my continued existence, despite my freakish weirdness, is, well, weird, apparently.
Because some people would rather see me dead, or having never existed.
But that is people for you. People are dumb. And assholes.

Understandable, but then again so is the hatred. To want to do certain things to children, who aren't even equipped to deal with it, it invokes a protectionist response of people. Some would say you're a ticking time bomb, but I won't judge about that. To know you can't really do anything about those sort of those feelings must feel, well, shit, I reckon.

Which slightly reminds me of something of a sexual nature as well. I got called weird for not liking those typical modern videoclips filled with scantly, and often scrawny, women. My dad just plainly said "What are you, gay or something?" I'm so sorry dad that I actually have taste and a certain amount of class you apparently do not possess.

The same thing happened when I mentioned not liking that type of girl at all. I save my affection for this kind of woman [http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_2EPJUI5nVXk/S80ynNi_EHI/AAAAAAAACws/RPKjoxEDQ5Y/s1600/joan.jpg]. Curvy, stylish, classy yet still very feminine and very sexy.

Dad apparently thinks that "sexy" equals displaying gratuitous amounts of skin, preferably nothing. Simple thing.

 

[TheRightToArmBears]

I'm generally a normal person.

Although I do get a lot of questions about my missing fingers, but I don't get called weird over it, it's more of a talking point.

hmmmm...

I guess I get called weird because I do weird things when I'm drunk. Like sing the entirety of Goldie Lookin' Chain's classic Your Mother's Got A Penis on a table.

'people' have the capacity to be utterly wrong about the most surprising things. Typically I assume if I'm considered weird by them, I am doing something very, very right. I suspect that's not exclusive to just me.

 

[EBonhawk09]

Whenever I get excited I start speaking very quickly. And whenever someone brings up physics that happens. Luckily I get excited by few things.

This describes me as well.

Actually, it has been shown that such relationships actually benefit children, but that is for an entirely different discussion.

I personally save my affection for this beautiful and kind angel of perfection. [http://i43.tinypic.com/2i6l7v8.jpg]

 

[person427]

I said that I was wanted by the ICSU for breaking the scientific laws. That got a lot of " WTF is wrong with you" looks.

 

[DeASplode]

I used to put Hula Hoops in Coca Cola when I was younger.

Now I just get called weird for anything I say or do.

 

[ICantBelieveItGoesBoom]

My ridiculously low attention span is the main culprit but there's probably more.

 

[Syrus Vikeruce]

Scratching myself in inappropriate areas. Doesn't help when I'm in public.

 

[AnthonTheSkabot]

Screaming the song "Little Boxes" and going on and on about the Half-Life universe whenever someone asks me about it.
