I Come in Weirdness

Post Reply New Topic

Sometimes, I am weird. I talk spontaneously in abstract ways. In occasions, people are confused when I speak online abstractly. I'm 25 years old, and I watch Sofia the First, read fiction books, and spend somewhat times on YouTube to escape boredom. Is that weird?

It's cool to be weird sometimes.

Who are you hurting by being weird?

Ophelia (Hamlet's love interest) was weird--but I've always been attracted to her.

I'm also one of the weird and wonderful. My hobbies include crafts and recycling beverage cans and bottles. My favourite band is The Kinks which not many people would name as their favourite band. I like to dress in pea green, sometimes from head to toe because I am a Sweet Pea. I'm also fascinated with peas and pea like characters.

Cheers to being weird.

I had a friend who used to say 'I'd rather be nuts than normal'.

I talk to myself as I walk... don't mean to but do. I also bunnyhop at work. I should know better. I am a manager.

I do not have much time for hobbies. I want to write a short story about my weird dates. Yes, plural. I have not had a cut and dry normal date ever. My last one included a xenophobic radio show host interrupting it.

i've spent countless hours on youtube trying to "run" away from boredom/apathy...youtube poop, compilations, let's plays, etc.

cheers to being oddballs, everyone. weird will become the new normal eventually - don't forget to change it up every once in a while

I love to visit cemeteries

I know that I am weird. Of course, I can't really help that. But I would rather be "weird" or "quirky" than "average"

Normal is boring.

Weird is a fun thing to be. When you are in a creative business.

me too. ever been to a mausoleum or a pet cemetery?

I went to a mausoleum. You are guaranteed of peace in a cemetery.

.... Didn't she drown herself in a river?

Hey, we all have our hobbies.

I didn't even know what "Sofia the First" was. Had to Google it. Ohhh, yeah, that's a little weird but hey, you're on Wrong Planet. You're in the right place, where you're surrounded by other weird people. I enjoy being different. I've never been a crowd follower. The crowd will be over there and I'll be over here probably patting a cat.

Never been into fiction. Always read technical/information/encyclopedias, etc. Now we've got the Internet.

I don't think reading fiction is particularly weird or indicative of AS.

Using YouTube (the Internet in general) to alleviate boredom also isn't particularly weird. In fact, I think it's quite universally carried out by NT's as well as Aspies for all sorts of reasons - especially to counter boredom.

Personally, I never get bored. My Special Interests see to that. I live on my own and ALL of my time is MY OWN. I cherish it and hate having to go back out into the world. People can't understand this and think there's something wrong with me but I don't care. But it is weird and not considered normal behavior. People are constantly telling me, humans are social creatures. Not this little black duck!

In summary, I don't think you're weird from the examples you've given.

Rocking at my desk at work, now that's weird but I do it. I don't care!

welcome to the club...

I don't think any of those are inherently weird, especially not fiction books or YouTube. Everybody has their own strange traits, and we on the spectrum do tend to have it even weirder, but it's what makes us unique. It's what makes us valuable as individuals. I'm weird, but I came to WP hoping to share my weirdness with others, because if there's anywhere that's going to understand weirdness, it's probably this place.

So like they say, welcome to the club.
