I don't take pride in weirdness itself, but positive traits are positive traits whether people consider em normal or weird.

This is the way reality has unfolded itself and if my off-centeredness made a few laugh and look at at things from another 'point of view' so be it , but the final eventuality is same for all : we end ; and for the most part all our works will be vacuously productive in that finalty.

I am proud to be weird, but I spend a lot of time not liking myself nonetheless.

I love being weird and different from everyone else, I just wish there were more like me.

Have been told I'am weird quite a few times in my life. Problem with this
is it seems I have also have been taken for being an easy mark.(being taken advantage of) Also have had so called friends who would hang around with me when I was doing neat stuff. But would not want to be seen with the myself "the weirdo" when other people
could see. Am I proud of being weird? No Am I proud of myself? good question I Do not like being dyslexic do not like being clueless about how other people think, but what choice do I have. One thing I would like is to see mysef through somebody elses eyes and not always from the inside out. To me I think I am like every one else

I am proud to be weird. First of all, the alternative is being normal, and normal is just average, and why would I ever want to be average if I can try for something better? Secondly, I'd be absurd to try to fit in. It's not possible. Even if tomorrow my mind rewired itself, my face restructured itself and I had the inclination to start trying to look like other people, my memories as a person who has not fit in would be a huge barrier. Also, being weird is a great filter to keep certain types of people out of my life. The only kind of people I have any reason to be around no matter who I am are people who are kind, accepting and deep. What value is there in appealing to the cruel, discriminating and shallow?

Lastly... I'm happy, for the most part. Some things suck, but I like how far I've come, I like where I'm going and I do things that I like in the meantime. If that's all weird, that's irrelevant, because the important thing, so long as I'm not hurting others, is that I enjoy my life.

I like being weird. The normal ones are boring.

Depends on how self-confident I'm feeling. Mostly I feel sorry for the normals (whoever they are), but on a bad day I'm not so sure.

I was surprised to discover some years ago that "weird" is a pejorative term......I gravitate towards "weird" people - I take care to check them out for harmful tendencies before putting myself at much risk with them, but I'm at least equally suspicious of normal people.

well, there is good weird and bad weird and I think I am bad weird. NT seem to either be preppies or good weird. Good weird are people who are NT in every other way but try to look radical on the outside. But on the inside they have exactly the same value systems as the preppie NT. Watch MTV cribs for proof of this.

I used to hate being weird because people were so nasty about it when they said it. When I was in high school one of my friends thought it would be funny to push me into a mentally challenged boy. I got really mad at her for being so disrespectful to me and cruel to him, and another girl standing near us thought I was offended just because the boy was challenged. She said, "what's your problem, you're weird too!". So the kids at my school used the word in a really scornful way.

As I grew older it stopped bothering me. No matter where I went people said I was "different" or "weird" so I just started to go with it and screw what people thought. So now I can say "yes!" I am proud to be weird, which is good because I don't know how to be anything else.

P.S: I am beginning to think "weird" = "true to one's self"

I'm mad - but it's okay, because all the best people are. :)

I agree! If I could do it all over with the stuff I know now, I'd be totally nuts! You only live once.
