Does anyone comment that you are really "weird"?

OMG story of my life! I have been called weird so many times, I can't even attempt to estimate the amount. 3rd grade was definately the worst year of my life (besides this year), as far a bullying goes. All year, every day, people called me weird. I have a very vivid memory of a journal entry I wrote on one of those days when I had been called weird far more times than I could take. I remember writing, " I'm not weird, just different." I swear, even at that time i was always telling myself, "your brain works differently than everyone else's. It might make you seem weird, but its not really a bad thing. In fact, even though your brains a bit weird, you're lucky because your brain works amazingly well in a lot of ways!"
I am a genius, but I have Asperger's syndrome, and most people consider this a different "wiring" of the brain. I find it pretty amazon that I new this by age 8. I actually thought that I was the only person with this more extreme different "wiring" (aka my name for Asperger's syndrome until a few months ago), but, thanks to wrong planet, I know I'm not alone in the world.

Yes, I have been called weird before.

Yup! And I thank them for the compliment!

Around my own family, yes. When I'm free from the fear of embarrassment I can amuse myself with semi-random utterances. I also talk to the dog in a high falsetto voice that only she can appreciate.

all the time. in high school it was said to me in a bad way by most people though my friends used it positively. in uni no one calls me weird that i know of but there are people that i know who describe me as weird outside uni but they mean it in a good way. they are weird too. my sister says it all the time. she means nut job.

I just take it as a compliment when somebody tells me that I'm weird. I like the fact that I'm different from most people.

Yes people have said that to me......And I have always seen myself as rather unusual so I tend to agree with that observation.

I've been called weird plenty of times both online and off. It's doesn't really bother me.
Other words people use to describe me are 'Unique' and 'Quirky'. :B

No. I'm too good at hiding my true nature.

I think the word WEIRD is surely on my birth certificate somewhere...

Not recently. I'm pretty sure that's what a lot of people think to themselves about me, however. I'd say I probably fit the bill, not that I necessarily mind (Not like being weird or "different" is necessarily a badge of shame.). It's just that my uber-quiet/awkward brand of weirdness that I display around people I'm not familiar with probably isn't palatable to too many people. How shocking.

no.

but today i was called "incongruous" because my demeanor did not match my manner of dress. i had to agree.

Yes. It usually don't bother me, but when a therapist called me weird, that hurt. :/

To me they have said to me that i am
