[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Other people think I'm weird but I am who I am and I guess I don't know how to be normal (or fake normal enough not to make other people think I'm strange).

I try not to let it bother me but it's hard sometimes because being perceived as weird makes it hard to make friends and it also results in people talking about you behind your back with is something I struggle with.

I've also made efforts to just embrace my weirdness and find other weird people to be friends with. But in DC, I've noticed that often what people mean when they say "I'm weird" is that they conform to norms like 98% of the time but have like one unusual hobby. So when I try to join communities of "weird" people, I'll quickly realize that they all have mostly the same stuff in common and I am still the outlier.

It feels lonely and I feel like I will never quite fit in or be accepted anywhere. I'm in my 40s and this is hard.

Does anyone else feel this way? How do you deal with it?[/quote]

I stumbled upon my tribe of weirdos at a (completely normal) activity meet up. Most of us are weird/quirky and the normies in the group feel free to let loose and be silly. I was with them the other day and thought what a bunch of weirdos! Yay! You will find your tribe.[/quote]
