[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Obviously I'm not going to go into details with acquaintances of why I hate being weird (how I think, activities I enjoy, etc.) and how it's caused a lot of loneliness, but it hurts that people don't understand this. Can anyone relate?[/quote]

Hi OP

In my experience there is a huge range for both weird and normal categories. There are positive and negative forms and expressions for behavior seen as both “weird” and “normal”.

Ideally, Everyone should treat others the way they would like to be treated and not treat others in ways they don’t wish to be treated. The Golden Rule is the closest thing we have to a universal moral code

It is often not followed, and we often hurt each other through enforcing our own counter productive self defense mechanisms (such as fear of social suicide through association) .., but happily Most of us grow emotionally after middle school.

Hopefully you will find your people eventually. Especially as it sounds like you are following your interests

Weird in terms of eccentric and harmless ways of being can be very charming. Weird in terms of severe mental illness/obliviousness to  the privacy and comfort of others can be creepy.

Good luck finding friends who validate your way of being in the world and who appreciate your company as a person.
